8.8 Analog Modem Support
Analog modems may be supported in one of two ways: pass-through or modem relay via V.152 [i.34]. Similar to fax pass-through - an MTA will be asked to detect modem tones and, when such tones are detected, the CMS will instruct the MTA to switch over to the G.711 codec if it is not already in use. Echo cancellation is a...

8.9 DTMF Relay
DTMF is the use of dual-tone multiple frequency signals either by an autodialing system or through manual entry of tones. In order for DTMF tones to be captured correctly by the receiving device, tonal integrity (frequency accuracy and signal duration) must be maintained even through compression and transcoding. IPCabl...
