to that audio bridge for the purpose of entering a conference ID number and PIN. To access the DTMF keypad:
1.
Go to Conferences and click on the conference name.
2.
From the list of participants, click on the audio bridge's name.
3.
Click the Send DTMF tab.
Pressing the keys on the DTMF keypad causes the MCU to generate the DTMF tones and send them in-band in the
audio channel to the participant (in this case, the audio conferencing bridge). In this way, you can dial the audio
conferencing bridge into a conference and then listen in to hear the instructions from the audio bridge. When the
audio bridge requires DTMF entries, you can enter the required numbers by using the DTMF keypad.
