Any data passed to the VRU from the switch is outpulsed in-band. Customers can administer the converse first data delay and the converse second data delay time delays on the Feature-Related System Parameters screen. The delays can range from 0 through 9 seconds, with a default of zero seconds for the converse first data delay and a default of two seconds for the converse second data delay. The delays are required to give the VRU sufficient time to invoke an application and allocate a touch-tone receiver to receive the passed digits.

• If <data_1> is not none, the converse first data delay timer starts when the call is answered by the VRU. Once the timer expires, the data_1 digits are outpulsed in-band to the VRU, followed by the end-of-string pound sign (#).

• If <data_2> is not none, the converse second data delay timer starts when the end-of-string pound sign from the first digit string is outpulsed. Once the timer expires, the data_2 digits are outpulsed in-band to the VRU, followed by the end-of-string pound sign.

No time delays are invoked when the keyword none is administered.
