Connect Tone Pattern 0x002F

This message instructs the CSP to transmit a call progress pattern ID to the specified channel. The channel must be in any state other than: idle, out of service, or busied out.

If you want to be notified with a Call Processing Event message (0x21 - Tone Complete) when tone transmission has stopped, set the Generate Event Flag.

Message delimiter (SS7 bit pattern - 01111110)

A computer, attached to the Excel platform through an RS-232 or Ethernet link, from which you run the telecommunications application that controls the Excel platform.

Range of channels provided by T1 or E1 transmission service. A physical span is a group of channels taking up a single physical wire. A logical span is a group of channels taking up less than a single logical wire, or carried over more than one physical wire.

A group of data bits in a specific format, with a flag at each end to indicate the beginning and the end of the frame.

See Address Information Block.

See Automatic Number Identification.

Tone commonly used to indicate additional action is required by the caller, such as dialing more digits (for example, entry of personal ID number).

:	Number of Cycles to Transmit, MSB, LSB The value in this field for ringback should be greater than 0x03 and for all others greater than 0x01. The value in this field does not apply for the Dial Tone (0x01), Recall Dial Tone (0x0A), and Bong Tone (0x15), as they have no cycles. Dial Tone and Recall Dial Tone play continuously and Bong Tone plays once. 0x0000 - undefined 0x0000–0xFFFE Valid numbers of cycles 0xFFFF Continuous (for example, Dial Tone)
:	Generate Event Flag 0x00 Do not inform the host when the outpulsing of the tone is complete. 0x01 Inform the host with a Call Processing Event message that the outpulsing of the tone is complete. The CSP stops playing the tone only if: - the number of cycles to transmit is reached - the host issues a Collect Digit String message with Configuration Bit 4 set to Cancel Prompting Tone or RAN (0x00) - the host issues a Disconnect Tone Pattern message. A Connect Tone Pattern message does not cancel the outpulsing of call progress tones. However, a Connect With Data message with an action ICB of Free System Resources does cancel outpulsing. For more information, refer to the Connect With Data message.
