From the Asterisk CLI run 'show application dial', and you'll do well.

The "w" tells Asterisk to wait 500 ms (half a second) after the line 
goes off-hook before sending the DTMF.

The DID in my example is "1234".  So you'll probabably refer to ${EXTEN} 
in your usage... or some other variable.  If you're using fax detection 
then you'll need to set a variable to ${EXTEN} before the call gets 
forwarded to "fax".  Personally I'd recommend against using fax 
detection, and that way you'd have something like this:

 exten => 5551212,1,dial(SIP/fax,,D(w5551212))
