In some cases when automatically dialing a number, you may need to tell the autodialer to pause to allow for a secondary dial tone. For example, if you dial '9' to get an outside line on your business phone system, you may need to program a pause after the 9 to allow time for the outside dial tone.

A dialing pause is exactly what it sounds like. It is a brief pause between dialed digits, for example to allow time for a secondary dial tone.

How to switch from pulse to tone dialing?

On a modem, or any other device that uses the "AT" command set, you can put the letter P for Pulse or T for Tone in the dial string. For example, ATDP9,1800T555P0123 would pulse-dial 9 (pause) 1 8 0 0, then tone dial 555, and then pulse dial 0123. On many landline push-button phones, there is a switch that allows you to select Tone or Pulse dialing. If you have the switch set to Pulse and hit the star key, the phone will switch over to Tone dialing for the rest of that call.
