Explanation

Normally, the DTMF method is limited to RTP methods only (in-band/payload). However, using the System Parameter Inbound DTMF Method Override, it is possible to force the DTMF transmission type to be in-band, payload or (the new option) SIP Info method. In this case, the State Table 'GetData' action will allow collection of DTMF keys sent using the SIP INFO method. If you want the DTMF transfer method to be agreed as part of the SIP call setup process (by the SDP in the INVITE and 200 OK messages), set this option to Use Negotiated Values.
