I am trying to set up speed dials for our internal paging system (radio transmitter paging system, not a voice paging system). I see that the length of the Pause is programmable per CO line which makes me wonder if it even works in intercom mode. I certainly can't get it to work so far. If Pauses don't work in intercom mode, does anyone have any suggestions how to work around this?
Here is the sequence: Dial Pager extension Wait 5-12 seconds Dial Pager number Wait 3-10 seconds Dial message code Hang up

on the panasonic the pause timer is about 1.5 seconds but you could enter as many as you like so you could enter on speed dial 001 (pager ext) pppppp (pager no)ppppp code Hang up
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
Just to warn you it may sound like its still ringing to the person using the speed no but it will finish sending dtmf to extension before putting the call through

That's what I thought, but I've tried everything from one Pause up to 11 to test the concept, and it doesn't work.
In fact, I entered just the extension number followed by 20 pauses plus one random one (the max characters that will fit in the PF speed dial) and I still hear the pager answer after about 5 seconds. On a "normal" speed dial you don't hear anything until the entire sequence is dialed. That's what makes me wonder if Pauses work in Intercom Mode.
Just to be clear, the paging system transmitter I'm dialing is an extension - we are not using a CO line to call it.
Hi david, just set a unit here to see and you can't auto dial any thing on internal, I did try it first on a tda and it does work. Do you have a spare co and extension, could loop a extension through this ans speed dial through that co port

I don't currently have a spare CO, but could add the last card and do it that way. Thanks for the idea.
The thing is, we can use it manually, I just thought it would be very clean and simple for the users if we could set up one-touch dialing for the half dozen or so commonly used settings.
