[DTMF function for RICOH Video Conference Gateway Service (Cloud Type)]
In some cases, we are asked to enter a passcode so the MCU on the other side can permit your endpoint to join the meeting.
On the previous firmware, we needed to use an external device such as a smart phone to enter a passcode.
This version allows you to enter a passcode directly on the P3500 with the DTMF function. DTMF: Dual tone multi frequency, something like a tone signal.

Limitation: If you start a meeting with the microphone mute and keep it on, this function will not work. Once you are off the mute, it will work.
