DTMF Functions
In Sysop mode, EchoLink can be configured to accept commands through the local receiver using DTMF tones (TouchTones). These commands are used to enable or disable the link, or to connect or disconnect a station on the Internet.
Each command consists of a sequence of digits (or the special keys *, #, and A through D).
The table below lists each of the DTMF commands.

Entering Callsigns
To enter a callsign (for the Connect by Call or Query by Call commands), press two digits for each letter and number in the callsign. The first digit is the key on which the letter appears (using 1 for Q and Z), and the second digit is 1, 2, or 3, to indicate which letter is being entered. To enter a digit, press the digit followed by 0. When finished, end with the pound key (#).
For example, the letter "K" is entered as "52", the letter "Q" is entered as "11", and the digit "7" is entered as "70".
Callsigns need not be entered in full. If a partial callsign is entered, EchoLink will find the first match among the stations currently logged on. If no match is found among the stations currently logged on, EchoLink will say "NOT FOUND".
Examples
(These examples assume that the default DTMF codes are configured.)
- To connect to node number 9999:
Enter: 9 9 9 9
EchoLink responds with:
"CONNECTING TO CONFERENCE E-C-H-O-T-E-S-T"
followed by
"CONNECTED"
because 9999 is the node number of conference server "*ECHOTEST*"
To connect to a random link or repeater:
Enter: 0 1
EchoLink responds with:
"CONNECTING TO K-1-O-F REPEATER"
followed by
"CONNECTED"
because K1OF-R was selected at random.
