Additional Features

This section describes additional features you can use on the 6940 phone.

Display DTMF Digits

A feature on the 6940 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.
