Configuring Hook Flash

The following procedure describes how to configure various hook-flash features.

To configure hook-flash features:
1. Configure the digit pattern used by the Tel side to indicate a hook-flash event:
a. Open the Supplementary Services Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder > DTMF & Supplementary > Supplementary Services Settings).
b. In the 'Hook-Flash Code' (HookFlashCode) field, enter the digit pattern.

c. Click Apply.
2. Configure the hook-flash transport type:
a. Open the DTMF & Dialing page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder > DTMF & Supplementary > DTMF & Dialing).
b. From the the 'Hook-Flash Option' (HookFlashOption) drop-down list, select the required transport type.

c. Click Apply.
3. To configure the period by the device for detecting hook-flash initiated by analog interfaces:
a. Open the Analog Settings page (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > Gateway folder > Analog Gateway > Analog Settings).
b. Configure the following:
'Min. Hook-Flash Detection Period' (MinFlashHookTime): Defines the minimum time (in msec) for detection of a hook-flash event from an FXS interface. Detection is guaranteed for hook-flash periods of at least 60 msec (when configuring the period to 25). The device ignores hook-flash signals lasting a shorter period of time.
'Max. Flash-Hook Detection Period' (FlashHookPeriod): Defines the maximum hook-flash period (in msec) for Tel and IP sides for analog interfaces. For more information, see the Telprofile_FlashHookPeriod parameter in Configuring Tel Profiles.

a. Click Apply.
