Additional Features
Display DTMF Digits
A feature on the 57i phone allows users to enable or disable DTMF (dual-tone multi-
frequency) digits to display to the IP phone when using the keypad to dial, or when 
dialing from a softkey.
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 
keypad or from a 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 Aastra Web UI.
