services. To switch to DTMF mode, wait for a preprogrammed time period (Default: five seconds) after
the trunk is connected, or press . This feature works only on trunks set to Pulse mode. DTMF mode

• It is possible to assign the minimum duration of the DTMF signal sent to a trunk port that has been set
to DTMF mode.
