Configuring Gateway Settings
The touch tone system uses pairs of tones to represent the various keys on the telephone. A "low tone"
and a "high tone" are associated with each button (0-9, *, and #). The low tones vary according to the
horizontal row in which the tone button is located in
column in which the tone is located. The local telephone company receives each pair of tones, decodes
the number dialed and makes the connection.

About DTMF Detection on IP-to-ISDN Calls
The gateway passes incoming in-band DTMF signals to the ISDN-side endpoint unchanged. In addition,
you can configure the gateway to convert H.245 out-of-band DTMF signals from the IP side to in-band
signals on the ISDN side.
