Values are assigned to various ISDN timers for different country variants. These timers control the behavior of network signaling layer 3 in the ISDN protocol stack.
These values are included as timer_val_t structures in the ISDN_PROTOCOL_PARMS_Q931CC and ISDN_PROTOCOL_PARMS_LAPD structures referenced by isdnStartProtocol.
The following table summarizes the meanings of the timers. The items shown in all capital letters are the names of Q.931 messages. For example, ALERT refers to the alert message indicating that an incoming call has arrived.
