T3: inbound compelled cycle timer. |
releaseguardtime |
ms |
0 |
Inbound: time to wait in release guard, if set (regulated time for the inbound protocol to remain in blocking state after mutual hang-up). |
Inbound line qualification timers (time for the inbound protocol to wait to recognize a line signaling change), expressed in units of 10 ms: |
|||
inqualidletime |
ms |
20 |
Qualification time during idle. |
inqualcompeltime |
ms |

Qualification time during connected. |
Outbound line qualification timers (time for the inbound protocol to wait to recognize a line signaling change), expressed in units of 10 ms: |
|||
outqualidletime |
ms |
20 |
Qualification time during idle. |
outqualcompeltime |
ms |
20 |
Qualification time during the compelled sequence. |
outqualconnectedtime |
ms |
20 |
Qualification time during connected. |
seizureacktime |
ms |
240 |
Outbound: Time to wait for seizure acknowledge after seizure, before clearing forward. The CCITT Blue Book value is 200 ms, but the TCP must account for internal transmission time. |
answertime |
mask |
60 |
Maximum time for the protocol to wait between receipt of the Group B backward tone and when the phone is answered (line signaling event). After this timer expires, the TCP clears the line. |
inboundreleasetime |
ms |
430 |
Outbound: The time after which a clearback seen by outbound is treated as a remote hang up signal. If the signal lasts less than this value, it could be a billing pulse (only applicable during conversation). |
GroupIIT1Timer |
mask |
15 |
Maximum time for the protocol to wait between the generation of the Group II forward tone and the detection of the Group B backward tone. This time usually is the same as timer T1 from the parameter compelledtimers, but it can be different in some countries. |
The following parameters contain the specification of all the tones needed by the protocols to implement the country-specific variation of R2. Each parameter holds more than one tone. Each tone uses 4 bits (one hexade) of the 16 bit word. Hexades are listed from least to most significant inside each parameter. Backward Group A tones. The TCP uses these tones to send requests to the calling party during the compelled sequence: |
|||
tnGAsendnextDID |
mask |
0x1 |
Send next DID (A-1). |
tnGAsendCAT |
mask |
0x5 |
Send Group I category (A-5). |
tnGAsendnextANI |
mask |
0x5 |
Send next ANI (A-5). |
tnGAswitchtoGB |
mask |
0x3 |
Send Group II tone (and switch to group B tone reception) (A-3). |
Some backward Group B tones. The TCP uses these tones to send the final indication of the compelled sequence to the calling party: |
|||
tnGBcongestion |
mask |
0x4 |
Indicate congestion (B-4). This is also applicable during Group A transmission. |
tnGBunallocnumber |
mask |
0x5 |

Forward tones indicating the end of or the non-availability of a certain type of information: |
|||
tnDIDeoi |
mask |
0xF |
End of DID digits. (I-15) Note that in some countries this tone doesn't exist. In this case the parameter is 0. |
tnNoCategory |
mask |
0xC |
Caller's category not available. In some countries the category must be available to the caller, so the parameter will be 0. |
tnANIeoi |
mask |
0xF |
End of ANI digits (I-15) - caller id available. |
tnANIeoirestrictCID |
mask |
0x0 |
End of ANI digits - called id restricted. In most countries there is no distinction for MFC-R2 between restricted and non-restricted caller id. In this case the parameter is 0. |
Backward tones indicating acceptance of the call: |
|||
tnanswerGBtoll |
mask |
0x6 |

Call accepted in Group A (A-6). |
tnaltGB |
mask |
0x06 |

|||
tnSendNextDIDfromANI |
mask |
0x1 |

bmCDbit |
mask |
0x1 |
Value of the C and D bits (usually, C=0, D=1). |
bmnodigitbehavior |
mask |
0x0 |
What to do if next DID does not come: 0 - Pulse congestion 1 - Pulse request for Group II tone This addresses the problem of those protocol variations that do not have a tone to signal the end of DID digits.

bmsetsimwindow |
mask |
0x1 |
Flag to determine which simultaneity window the bit detector should be set with: 0 - Zero 1 - 5 ms Having two bit transitions falling in the same 5 ms period is the definition of simultaneous bit transitions on the line. Double bit transitions are illegal in some countries. |

Determines whether to expect metering pulses on the C bit: A - A-bit B - B-bit C -0 C-bit 0 - None |
bmrequirehalfecho |
mask |

bmIndia |
mask |
0x0 |
Specifies whether or not the protocol is running in India: 0x0 - No 0x1 - Yes |
bmaltEOI |
mask |
0 |
Controls the time to wait for the outbound call to be answered: 0 - Use the normal procedure. 1 - Use alternate end-of-information procedure to give the application more time to answer a call. |
bmIgnoreNonNumeric |
integer |
0 |
Specifies what to do with non-numeric address digits: 0 - Pass all digits to the host. 1 - Do not pass non-numeric digits to the host. |
Digit masks In the following mask parameters, bits set to 1 represent valid digits. If the TCP receives a digit corresponding to a bit set to 0, it automatically rejects the call. For example, for the validDIDmask parameter below, the digits B, C, D and E are invalid DID digits. |
|||
validDIDmask |
mask |
0x87FE |
Valid DID tones in the target country. If a DID received by inbound is not valid, the compelled sequence is aborted with a congestion indication. The mask is the following: FEDC|BA98|7654|321- |
validANImask |
mask |
0x97FE |
Valid ANI tones in the target country. If a ANI is received by inbound, that is not valid, the compelled sequence is aborted with a congestion indication. The mask is the following: FEDC|BA98|7654|321- |
validcategorymask |
mask |
0x07FE |
Valid category tones in the target country. If an invalid category is received by inbound, the compelled sequence is aborted with a congestion indication. The mask is the following: FEDC|BA98|7654|321- |
validgroupIImask |
mask |
0x07FE |
Valid Group II tones in the country. If an invalid Group II tone is received by inbound, the compelled sequence is aborted with a congestion indication. The mask is the following: FEDC|BA98|7654|321- |
catnoANImask |
mask |
0x0 |
Category tones that imply that no ANI digits follow. The mask is the following: FEDC|BA98|7654|321- |
Forward Group I tones that outbound plays to answer inbound's request for information about the presence or absence of a satellite link in the circuit, and the need for half-echo suppression. |
|||
tnNoSatellite |
mask |
0xD |
No satellite link in the circuit (A-13). |
tnSatellite |
mask |
0xE |
Satellite link in the circuit (A-14). |
tnEchoSuppressorRequired |
mask |
0xE |
Half-echo suppression needed (A-14). If this is not the case, the outbound just ignores the request and plays any other tone. |
reanswerdelay |
ms |
0 |
Time to wait for re-answer pulse. This might be needed for special switches in certain countries. Set to zero to disable. |
reanswerpulsetime |
ms |
0 |
