DTMF Keypad
The DTMF keypad is laid out in a 4×4 matrix, with each row representing a low frequency, and each column rep-
resenting a high frequency. Pressing a digit key (such as '1') will generate a sinusoidal tone for each of two fre-
quencies (697 and 1209 hertz (Hz)).

: The phones will not send the DTMF sequence when the call is placed on hold or is held.
Transmitting DTMF Digit
Three methods of transmitting DTMF digits on SIP calls:
l
RFC 2833
-- DTMF digits are transmitted by RTP Events compliant with RFC 2833. You can configure the pay-
load type and sending times of the end RTP Event packet. The RTP Event packet contains 4 bytes. The 4 bytes
are distributed over several fields denoted as Event, End bit, R-bit, Volume, and Duration. If the End bit is set to
1, the packet contains the end of the DTMF event. You can configure the sending times of the end RTP Event
packet.
l
INBAND
-- DTMF digits are transmitted in the voice band. It uses the same codec as your voice and is audible to
conversation partners.
l
SIP INFO
-- DTMF digits are transmitted by SIP INFO messages. DTMF digits are transmitted by the SIP INFO
messages when the voice stream is established after a successful SIP 200 OK-ACK message sequence. The
SIP INFO message can transmit DTMF digits in three ways: DTMF, DTMF-Relay, and Telephone-Event.
