pulse pkt1 (multifrequency pkt1)
Pulse packet register signaling uses R1 frequencies with 50msec on/off periods. Called number, calling party category and calling party number are sent in two or three packages, depending on the received R1 tones from the upper exchange. For a relevant outgoing call if the star count is marked as zero or one then, this is considered to be a national call. For two or three star count, this call is considered to be an international call. For the national case the first packet contains the first digit of the called party number and the category, the second packet contains the called number, calling party category and calling party number. For the international case, the first packet contains the first digit of the called party number and the category, the second packet contains only the called international number and the third packet after the request from the upper exchange contains calling party number and calling party category. Calling party number is fixed to even digits, so that if the actual number is less than seven digits leading zeros are added.

Since the called number is sent in a package with predefined timing periods, to route out a call from Pulse Pkt3a E1, accumulation of digits before routing is required.
pulse pkt3b (multifrequency pkt3b)
Pulse packet register signaling uses R1 frequencies with 50msec on/off periods. The packet that contains call category (signal number 13), called number and packet terminator (signal number 11) is sent in one package, after the request from the upper exchange. The correct reception of the packet is confirmed by the upper exchange. Since the called number is sent in a package with predefined timing periods, to route out a call from Pulse Pkt3b E1, accumulation of digits before routing is required.
