If one of the circuits used in the step by step dialing connection is
capable of transmitting a NO answer signal, only dial pulsing or ISDN
circuits are permitted for the entire step by step dialing link (problem
of digit repetition in DTMF circuits). This is only necessary if a DTMF
circuit is available in the link that is not capable of transmitting
an ANSWER signal.
In the digit range, the digit "# "cannot be used as the access code,
since this digit is required for speedy through-connection once the last
digit has been dialed (through-connection of the call only after step
by step dialing timeout is thereby no longer valid -> immediate through-connection
of the call). Once "#" has been dialed, it is not possible to dial further
digits.
