Hi Bob,

thanks for your prompt answer. Does this mean, that a flash initiated by
analog phones can be transformed into a DTMF event (e.g. by a gateway) and
carried over SIP network?

Daniela

Sorry, but what means HTH?

This is a signal that an analog phone can send into the system.  Often
called "flash hook", it is caused by a momentary press  and release of the
button on which the handset would rest  while "on hook".  Picking the
handset off the cradle causes  an "off hook" indication.  Putting the
handset onto the cradle  causes an "on hook" indication.  So, a "flash",
or "flash hook"  is actually an "on hook" followed suffuciently quickly by
an  "off hook".  Many analog systems use this "flash" as a signal  for
conducting call transfers or switching between calls in a  call-waiting
scenario.
