Out of Band DTMF—(Optional) Whether to detect and generate the
out-of-band signaling (for tone detection on the IP side of a gateway) and if
so, when. The Cisco SIP IP phone supports out-of-bound signaling via the
AVT tone method. Valid values are:
–
none—Do not generate DTMF digits out-of-band.
–
avt—If requested by the remote side, generate DTMF digits out-of-band
(and disable in-band DTMF signaling), otherwise, do not generate
DTMF digits out-of-band.
–
avt_always—Always generate DTMF digits out-of-band. This option
disables in-band DTMF signaling.
The default is avt.
