ADDITIONAL FEATURES

This section describes additional features you can use on the 6873i phone.

DISPLAY DTMF DIGITS

A feature on the 6873i phone allows users to enable or disable DTMF (dual-tone
multi-frequency) digits to display to the IP phone when using the dialpad to dial, or when dialing
from a softkey or expansion module key.
DTMF is the signal sent from the phone to the network that you generate when you press the
phone's touch keys. This is also known as touchtone dialing. Each key you press on your phone
generates two tones of specific frequencies. One tone is generated from a high-frequency group
of tones and the other from a low frequency group.
If you enable the Display DTMF Digits parameter, the digits you are dialing from the dialpad
or softkey display to the IP phone's LCD display. This parameter is disabled by default (no digits
display when dialing).
You can enable the Display DTMF Digits parameter using the Mitel Web UI.
