3.3.5 DTMF Tone Generation

The phone generates DTMF tones in response to user dialing on the dial pad. These

tones are transmitted in the RTP streams of connected calls. The phone can encode the

DTMF tones using the active voice codec or using RFC 2833 compatible encoding.

The coding format decision is based on the capabilities of the remote endpoint.

3.3.6 DTMF Event RTP Payload

The phone is compatible with RFC 2833 - RTP Payload for DTMF Digits, Telephony

Tones, and Telephony Signals. RFC 2833 describes a standard RTP-compatible tech-

nique for conveying DTMF dialing and other telephony events over an RTP media

stream. The phone generates RFC 2833 (DTMF only) events but does not regenerate,

nor otherwise use, DTMF events received from the remote end of the call.
