DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-frequency), better known as touch-tone, is used for
telecommunication signaling over analog telephone lines in the voice-frequency band.
DTMF is the signal sent from the IP phone to the network, which is generated when
pressing the IP phone’s keypad during a call. Each key pressed on the IP phone
generates one sinusoidal tone of two frequencies. One is generated from a high
frequency group and the other from a low frequency group.
The DTMF keypad is laid out in a 4× 4 matrix, with each row representing a low
frequency, and each column representing a high frequency. Pressing a digit key (such
as '1') will generate a sinusoidal tone for each of two frequencies (697 and 1209 hertz
(Hz)).
DTMF Keypad Frequencies:
1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz
697 Hz 1 2 3 A
770 Hz 4 5 6 B
852 Hz 7 8 9 C
941 Hz * 0 # D
Three methods of transmitting DTMF digits on SIP calls:

RFC 2833 -- DTMF digits are transmitted by RTP Events compliant to RFC 2833.

INBAND -- DTMF digits are transmitted in the voice band.

SIP INFO -- DTMF digits are transmitted by SIP INFO messages.
The method of transmitting DTMF digits is configurable on a per-line basis.
RFC 2833
DTMF digits are transmitted using the RTP Event packets that are sent along with the
