Store and forward encoders can be a programmable microphone or two-way radio, a stand-alone encoder such as the ENC-3300, or part of a large law enforcement dispatch console. You “Store” the DTMF code into the device when you program it, then “Forward” it to send the entire DTMF code as one complete DTMF string of numbers and characters. An automated encoder is also called a “Store and Forward” encoder.

Mark and Space refer to the duration a DTMF tone is produced, as well as the duration of the silence between individual digits.Ĭlick here for additional information on Mark & Space timing. This is being sent at a slower rate, but would still activate equipment watching for this code. Listen to a DTMF command code being send by an encoder at a standard rate. **Please note that some Voice over IP (VOIP) systems can have trouble recognizing the tones, for those systems try a longer key press allowing enough time for the system to register the tone.The extra codes are very useful in preventing standard telephone codes from being used to control remote devices, and can give you override status when used correctly in a two-way radio system.
