The ARS Call Progress Tone Detection form specifies which call progress tones should be detected during call set-up and the action to take in response to each tone. A maximum of 100 call progress tone detection plans can be programmed.
Dial tone is detected by an algorithm that monitors the frequency and energy characteristics of the incoming signal. Dial tone is detected when any large signal is present for sufficient time. The algorithm relies on the assumption that no other tone is expected at that time. This technique can detect dial tones that are not listed in the table of detectable tones, noise-based dial tones, and tones that have corrupted frequency characteristics. Frequency detection of dial tone is faster than the energy detection technique.
Use this form to perform the following tasks:

To ensure dial tone is received before outpulsing begins, use an ARS Call Progress Tone Detection Plan for loop start calls. The ARS Call Progress Tone Detection form is referred to by the ARS Digit Modification Plans form.
