It was the beginning of the second wave of the telecommunications revolution, started by the invention of the telegraph in 1833. Now a basic part of modern life, the telephone system is one of the most creative and complex achievements of humankind. Over its lifetime, it has directly influenced and benefited from many advancements in electronic technology. The modern telephone system uses analog and digital circuitry, computers, advanced signal encoding, and of course a healthy dose of wireless technology. Let’s see how it all works together. 14-1 The System View In the earliest days of the telephone, no more than a few hundred telephone sets existed.

All rights reserved. 1 Introduction Dual Tone Multi Frequency, or DTMF as it is popularly known as, is the technical term for the sound frequencies produced when a telephonic key is pressed. DTMF, also known as touch tone, was primarily used for telephone signaling to and from the local exchange, though today it finds several applications in the field of telecommunications and call centers. A different frequency is assigned to each key in the telephone and there are two tones – one low frequency and another high frequency – that are played simultaneously when a key is pressed. This combination of two tones makes it nearly impossible to reproduce by the human voice. Each of the four rows of keys in a telephone is assigned a low frequency tone and each of the three columns is assigned a high frequency tone. A fourth column of keys labeled as A, B, C, and D is optional and is mostly used in military networks. 2 © Specialty Answering Service. All rights reserved. 2 History and Evolution Before DTMF was introduced, telephone networks were dependent on pulse dialing. In pulse dialing, pulses are generated by rapidly connecting and disconnecting the telephone connection.
