[Freeswitch-users] SBC In-band DTMF

Hi

This sounds quite posible.

I've tcpdumped sip headers on both the freeswitch and the backend PBX.

The only significant difference I can see between our old SBC and FS is that the old SBC
asserted a media attribute fmtp:18 annexb=no  where  as FS doesn't forward this.

To test it out we have set dtmf_mode to none on both contexts (the context facing the telco
and the context facing the pbx), and set

<param name="rfc2833-pt" value="0"/>

(this may not be needed).

then in the dialplan we have

<action application="export" data="sip_append_audio_sdp=a=fmtp:18 annexb=no"/>

set prior to the bridge.

When we sip trace however we are not appending the attribute to the SDP on the INVITE.

Logs and sip headers below:

Are we missing something do you think?

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] SBC In-band DTMF

However under freeswitch if we don't start_dtmf before the bridge the backend PBX boxes don't recognise
the DTMF inband (even though the tones are audible ie you can hear them on a call recording on the
PBX).

Have we missed something here?  We would have thought with inband DTMF on non compressed codec (no
transcoding) that the tones would just work with the media stream?

start_dtmf will detect inband DTMF, and then send out of band on the outgoing leg of the bridge. This is expected. You'll will need to call start_dtmf from dialplan, which can easily be done from dialplan by checking for some condition identifying calls requiring it. If they're authenticating to FS then it'd be trivial to set a variable in their user directory entry that you can test in the dialplan.

Now this is just a guess... During the codec negotiation FS will tell your PBX that it supports telephone-event (RFC2833). It may be that because the PBX sees that in the SDP that it doesn't look for inband DTMF, while when it received the SDP direct from the customer it didn't contain telephone-event and so did check for inband DTMF. Indeed it'd probably be a good idea for them to do so, since if you receive the same DTMF digit both inband and through RFC2833 then you'd be  duplicating digits. So my guess is that the PBX doesn't bother check for inband because FS tells it it's sending out-of-band, which'd differ from before.
