Abstract: An automatic dialing pause generator for use in telephone terminals with pulse dialing and additional features such as abbreviated number dialing, redialing, direct dialing and the like automatically provides a pause between selected digits dialed by the telephone terminal. Specifically, the present invention inserts a pause automatically after transmitting a directory number having an exchange code number. Memory write-in logic monitors the dialing input from a keyboard and from a keyboard decoder for the entering of an exchange code number to be stored in an exchange code memory. In addition, the memory write-in logic also recognizes the entering of a dialing command from keyboard and keyboard decoder as normal or abbreviated number dialing and stores it in a directory number memory which controls the dialing through a digit and pause generator.
