Setting DTMF signaling for VoIP
DTMF signaling, for example, is required to check and control some network
mailboxes via digit codes.
To send DTMF signals via VoIP you must first define how key codes should be
converted into and sent as DTMF signals: as audible information via the speech
channel or as a "SIP Info" message.
Ask your VoIP provider which type of DTMF transmission it supports.
¤ Open the following Web page:
Settings ¢ Telephony ¢ Advanced Settings.
Area
DTMF over VoIP connections
Make the required settings for sending DTMF signals.
¤ Activate
Audio or RFC 2833, if DTMF signals are to be transmitted acoustically
(in voice packets).
¤ Activate
SIP Info if DTMF signals are to be transmitted as code.
¤ Select
Set to save your settings.

Please note
You need to have requested the network mailbox for your fixed line network
connection from your fixed line network provider.
Please note
u The settings for DTMF signaling apply to all VoIP connections (VoIP
accounts).
u DTMF signals cannot be transmitted in the audio path (
Audio) on broadband
connections (the G.722 codec is used).
