| Description | This MIB object represents the steady tone status. A value
of 'true(1)' indicates that the steady tone is applied, and
a value of 'false(2)' indicates otherwise.
Devices must play out the on-off cadence sequence for
the number of times indicated by the MIB object
'pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount' prior to applying the
last tone steadily, indefinitely. If the MIB table
'pktcSigDevToneTable' contains multiple rows with this
Object set to a value of 'true(1)', the steady tone is
applied to the last repeating frequency group of the tone.
Setting this MIB object may result in a tone duration that is
longer or shorter than the overall signal duration
specified by the time out (TO) MIB object for a particular
signal. If the repeat count results in a longer tone
duration than the signal duration specified by the TO, the
tone duration defined by the TO object for a particular
signal always represents the overall signal duration for a
tone. In this case, the tone duration repeat count will
not be fully exercised, and the desired tone duration will
be truncated per the TO setting. If the repeat count
results in a shorter tone duration than the signal duration
specified by the TO, the tone duration defined by the
repeat count takes precedence over the TO and will end the
signal event. In this case, the TO represents a time not to
be exceeded for the signal.
It is recommended to ensure proper telephony signaling that
The TO duration setting should always be longer than the
desired repeat count-time duration, plus the desired maximum
steady tone period. |
