This MIB module supplies the basic management objects for the PacketCable and IPCablecom Signaling protocols. This version of the MIB includes common signaling and Network Call Signaling (NCS)-related signaling objects. Copyright (C) The IETF Trust (2008). This version of this MIB module is part of RFC 5098; see the RFC itself for full legal notices.

This table describes the MTA-supported codec types. An MTA MUST populate this table with all possible combinations of codecs it supports for simultaneous operation. For example, an MTA with two endpoints may be designed with a particular Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and memory architecture that allows it to support the following fixed combinations of codecs for simultaneous operation: Codec Type Maximum Number of Simultaneous Codecs PCMA 3 PCMA 2 PCMU 1 PCMA 1 PCMU 2 PCMU 3 PCMA 1 G729 1 G729 2 PCMU 1 G729 1 Based on this example, the entries in the codec table would be: pktcSigDev pktcSigDev pktcSigDev CodecComboIndex CodecType CodecMax 1 pcma 3 2 pcma 2 2 pcmu 1 3 pcma 1 3 pcmu 2 4 pcmu 3 5 pcma 1 5 g729 1 6 g729 2 7 pcmu 1 7 g729 1 An operator querying this table is able to determine all possible codec combinations the MTA is capable of simultaneously supporting. This table MUST NOT include non-voice codecs.

Each entry represents the maximum number of active connections with a particular codec the MTA is capable of supporting. Each row is indexed by a composite key consisting of a number enumerating the particular codec combination and the codec type.

The index value that enumerates a particular codec combination in the pktcSigDevCodecTable.

A codec type supported by this MTA.

The maximum number of simultaneous sessions of a particular codec that the MTA can support.

This object specifies if the device is capable of echo cancellation. The MTA MUST set this MIB object to a value of true(1) if it is capable of echo cancellation, and a value of false(2) if not.

This object specifies if the device is capable of silence suppression (as a result of Voice Activity Detection). The MTA MUST set this MIB object to a value of true(1) if it is capable of silence suppression, and a value of false(2) if not.

This object is used to configure the subscriber-line protocol used for signaling on-hook caller id information. Different countries define different caller id signaling protocols to support caller identification. Setting this object at a value fsk(1) sets the subscriber line protocol to be Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). Setting this object at a value dtmf(2) sets the subscriber line protocol to be Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF). The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This object specifies ring cadence 0 (a user-defined field). The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This object specifies ring cadence 1 (a user-defined field). The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

The default value used in the IP header for setting the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for call signaling. The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This object contains the default value used in the IP header for setting the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for media stream packets. The MTA MUST NOT update this object with the value supplied by the CMS in the NCS messages (if present). Any currently active connections are not affected by updates to this object. When the value of this object is updated by SNMP, the MTA MUST use the new value as a default starting only from new connections. The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This table describes the signaling types supported by this MTA.

Entries in pktcMtaDevSigCapabilityTable - list of supported signaling types, versions, and vendor extensions for this MTA. Each entry in the list provides for one signaling type and version combination. If the device supports multiple versions of the same signaling type, it will require multiple entries.

The index value that uniquely identifies an entry in the pktcSigCapabilityTable.

This object identifies the type of signaling used. This value has to be associated with a single signaling version.

Provides the version of the signaling type - reference pktcSigCapabilityType. Examples would be 1.0 or 2.33 etc.

The vendor extension allows vendors to provide a list of additional capabilities. The syntax for this MIB object in ABNF ([RFC5234]) is specified to be zero or more occurrences of vendor extensions, as follows: pktcSigCapabilityVendorExt = *(vendor-extension) vendor-extension = (ext symbol alphanum) DQUOTE ; DQUOTE ext = DQUOTE %x58 DQUOTE symbol = (DQUOTE %x2D DQUOTE)/(DQUOTE %x2D DQUOTE) alphanum = 1*6(ALPHA/DIGIT)

This object contains the MTA User Datagram Protocol (UDP) receive port that is being used for NCS call signaling. This object should only be changed by the configuration file. Unless changed via configuration, this MIB object MUST reflect a value of '2427'.

This object must only be provided via the configuration file during the provisioning process. The power ring frequency is the frequency at which the sinusoidal voltage must travel down the twisted pair to make terminal equipment ring. Different countries define different electrical characteristics to make terminal equipment ring. The f20Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 20 Hertz. The f25Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 25 Hertz. The f33Point33Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 33.33 Hertz. The f50Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 50 Hertz. The f15Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 15 Hertz. The f16Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 16 Hertz. The f22Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 22 Hertz. The f23Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 23 Hertz. The f45Hz setting corresponds to a power ring frequency of 45 Hertz. Enumeration: 'f16Hz': 6, 'f33Point33Hz': 3, 'f22Hz': 7, 'f45Hz': 9, 'f50Hz': 4, 'f15Hz': 5, 'f23Hz': 8, 'f20Hz': 1, 'f25Hz': 2.

The Pulse signal table defines the pulse signal operation. There are nine types of international pulse signals, with each signal having a set of provisionable parameters. The values of the MIB objects in this table take effect only if these parameters are not defined via signaling, in which case, the latter determines the values of the parameters. The MIB objects in this table do not persist across MTA reboots.

This object defines the set of parameters associated with each particular value of pktcSigPulseSignalType. Each entry in the pktcSigPulseSignalTable is indexed by the pktcSigPulseSignalType object. The conceptual rows MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

There are nine types of international pulse signals. These signals are defined as follows: initial ring pulse loop close pulse loop open enable meter pulse meter pulse burst pulse no battery pulse normal polarity pulse reduced battery pulse reverse polarity Enumeration: 'initialRing': 1, 'pulseReversePolarity': 9, 'pulseNormalPolarity': 7, 'pulseNoBattery': 6, 'pulseLoopOpen': 3, 'enableMeterPulse': 4, 'pulseReducedBattery': 8, 'pulseLoopClose': 2, 'meterPulseBurst': 5.

This object is only applicable to the initialRing, enableMeterPulse, and meterPulseBurst signal types. This object identifies the frequency of the generated signal. The following table defines the default values for this object depending on signal type: pktcSigPulseSignalType Default initialRing 25 enableMeterPulse 16000 meterPulseBurst 16000 The value of twentyfive MUST only be used for the initialRing signal type. The values of twelvethousand and sixteenthousand MUST only be used for enableMeterPulse and meterPulseBurst signal types. An attempt to set this object while the value of pktcSigPulseSignalType is not initialRing, enableMeterPulse, or meterPulseBurst will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error. Enumeration: 'sixteenthousand': 3, 'twentyfive': 1, 'twelvethousand': 2.

This object is only applicable to the enableMeterPulse and meterPulseBurst signal types. This is the decibel level for each frequency at which tones could be generated at the a and b terminals (TE connection point). An attempt to set this object while the value of pktcSigPulseSignalType is not enableMeterPulse or meterPulseBurst will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error.

This object specifies the pulse duration for each signal type. In addition, the MTA must accept the values in the incremental steps specific for each signal type. The following table defines the default values and the incremental steps for this object depending on the signal type: pktcSigPulseSignaltype Default (ms) Increment (ms) initialRing 200 50 pulseLoopClose 200 10 pulseLoopOpen 200 10 enableMeterPulse 150 10 meterPulseBurst 150 10 pulseNoBattery 200 10 pulseNormalPolarity 200 10 pulseReducedBattery 200 10 pulseReversePolarity 200 10 An attempt to set this object to a value that does not fall on one of the increment boundaries, or on the wrong increment boundary for the specific signal type, will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error.

This object specifies the repeat interval, or the period, for each signal type. In addition, the MTA must accept the values in the incremental steps specific for each signal type. The following table defines the default values and the incremental steps for this object, depending on the signal type: pktcSigPulseSignaltype Default (ms) Increment (ms) initialRing 200 50 pulseLoopClose 1000 10 pulseLoopOpen 1000 10 enableMeterPulse 1000 10 meterPulseBurst 1000 10 pulseNoBattery 1000 10 pulseNormalPolarity 1000 10 pulseReducedBattery 1000 10 pulseReversePolarity 1000 10 An attempt to set this object to a value that does not fall on one of the increment boundaries, or on the wrong increment boundary for the specific signal type, will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error.

This object specifies how many times to repeat a pulse. This object is not used by the enableMeterPulse signal type, and in that case, the value is irrelevant. The following table defines the default values and the valid ranges for this object, depending on the signal type: pktcSigPulseSignaltype Default Range initialRing 1 1-5 pulseLoopClose 1 1-50 pulseLoopOpen 1 1-50 enableMeterPulse (any value)(but not used) meterPulseBurst 1 1-50 pulseNoBattery 1 1-50 pulseNormalPolarity 1 1-50 pulseReducedBattery 1 1-50 pulseReversePolarity 1 1-50 An attempt to set this object to a value that does not fall within the range for the specific signal type will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error.

For on-hook caller id, pktcSigDevCidMode selects the method for representing and signaling caller identification. For the duringRingingETS method, the Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) or the Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) containing the caller identification information is sent between the first and second ring pattern.

For the dtAsETS method, the FSK or DTMF is sent after the Dual Tone Alert Signal. For the rpAsETS method, the FSK or DTMF is sent after a Ring Pulse. For the lrAsETS method, the Line Reversal occurs first, then the Dual Tone Alert Signal, and, finally, the FSK or DTMF is sent. For the lrETS method, the Line Reversal occurs first, then the FSK or DTMF is sent. The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots. Enumeration: 'lrAsETS': 4, 'rpAsETS': 3, 'dtAsETS': 2, 'lrETS': 5, 'duringRingingETS': 1.

Cadence rings are defined by the telco governing body for each country. The MTA must be able to support various ranges of cadence patterns and cadence periods. The MTA will be able to support country-specific provisioning of the cadence and idle period. Each cadence pattern will be assigned a unique value ranging from 0-127 (inclusive) corresponding to the value of x, where x is the value sent in the cadence ringing (cr) signal cr(x), requested per the appropriate NCS message, and defined in the E package. The MTA will derive the cadence periods from the ring cadence table entry, as provisioned by the customer. The MTA is allowed to provide appropriate default values for each of the ring cadences. This table only needs to be supported when the MTA implements the E package.

Each entry in this row corresponds to a ring cadence that is being supported by the device. The conceptual rows MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

A unique value ranging from 0 to 127 that corresponds to the value sent by the LE based on country-specific cadences, one row per cadence cycle. In any given system implementation for a particular country, it is anticipated that a small number of ring cadences will be in use. Thus, this table most likely will not be populated to its full size.

This is the Ring Cadence.

The Tone Table defines the composition of tones and various tone operations. The definition of the tones callWaiting1 through callWaiting4 in this table MUST only contain the audible tone itself; the delay between tones or the value of the tone repeat count are not applicable for the call waiting tones. The delay between tones or the repeat count is controlled by the objects pktcSigEndPntConfigCallWaitingDelay and pktcSigEndPntConfigCallWaitingMaxRep. If the pktcSigDevToneType is set to either of the values callWaiting1, callWaiting2, callWaiting3, or callWaiting4, then the value of the pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount object indicates that the particular frequency group is applicable, as a repeatable part of the tone, based on the value of the MIB object pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount. The MTA MUST make sure that, after the provisioning cycle, the table is fully populated (i.e., for each possible index, an entry MUST be defined) using reasonable defaults for each row that was not defined by the provisioning information delivered via MTA Configuration. The frequency composition of each tone is defined by the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. For each tone type defined in pktcSigDevToneTable, the MTA MUST populate at least one entry in the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. For each particular value of pktcSigDevToneType, the pktcSigDevToneTable table can define non-repeating and repeating groups of the frequencies defined by the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable, such that each group is represented by the set of the consecutive rows (frequency group) in the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. Objects in this table do not persist across MTA reboots. For tones with multiple frequencies refer to the MIB table pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable.

The different tone types that can be provisioned based on country-specific needs. Each entry contains the tone generation parameters for a specific frequency group of the specific Tone Type. The different parameters can be provisioned via MTA configuration based on country specific needs. An MTA MUST populate all entries of this table for each tone type.

A unique value that will correspond to the different tone types. These tones can be provisioned based on country-specific needs. This object defines the type of tone being accessed. The alertingSignal, specialDial, specialInfo, release, congestion, userDefined1, userDefined2, userDefined3, and userDefined4 tone types are used in the E line package. Enumeration: 'specialDial': 14, 'dial': 3, 'confirmation': 2, 'messageWaiting': 4, 'congestion': 17, 'ringBack': 6, 'callWaiting3': 11, 'callWaiting2': 10, 'callWaiting1': 9, 'busy': 1, 'userDefined3': 20, 'stutterdial': 8, 'callWaiting4': 12, 'release': 16, 'userDefined1': 18, 'userDefined2': 19, 'alertingSignal': 13, 'offHookWarning': 5, 'userDefined4': 21, 'reOrder': 7, 'specialInfo': 15.

This MIB object represents the Tone Sequence reference of a multi-sequence tone.

This MIB object represents the number of consecutive multi-frequency tones for the particular tone type in the multi-frequency table (pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable). Such a sequence of the consecutive multi-frequency tones forms the tone group for the particular tone type in the pktcSigDevToneTable.

This is the repeat count, which signifies how many times to repeat the entire on-off cadence sequence. Setting this object may result in a cadence duration longer or shorter than the overall signal duration specified by the time out (TO) 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 so that the TO duration setting should always be longer than the desired repeat count-time duration.

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.

This MIB table defines the characteristics of tones with multiple frequencies. The constraints imposed on the tones by the MIB table pktcSigDevToneTable need to be considered for MIB objects in this table as well. The MTA MUST populate the corresponding row(s) of the pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable for each tone defined in the pktcSigDevToneTable. The contents of the table may be provisioned via MTA configuration.

The different tone types with multiple frequencies that can be provisioned based on country-specific needs.

This MIB object represents the frequency reference of a multi-frequency tone.

This MIB object represents the value of the first frequency of a tone type. A value of zero implies absence of the referenced frequency.

This MIB object represents the value of the second frequency of a tone type. A value of zero implies absence of the referenced frequency.

This MIB object represents the value of the third frequency of a tone type. A value of zero implies absence of the referenced frequency.

This MIB object represents the value of the fourth frequency of a tone type. A value of zero implies absence of the referenced frequency.

This MIB object provides directive on the modulation or summation of the frequencies involved in the tone. It is to be noted that while summation can be done without any constraint on the number of frequencies, the modulation (amplitude) holds good only when there are two frequencies (first and second). Thus: - If the mode is set to a value of 'firstModulatedBySecond(1)', the first frequency MUST be modulated by the second, and the remaining frequencies (third and fourth) ignored. The percentage of amplitude modulation to be applied is defined by the MIB object pktcSigDevToneFreqAmpModePrtg. - If the mode is set to a value of 'summation(2)', all the frequencies MUST be summed without any modulation. Enumeration: 'summation': 2, 'firstModulatedBySecond': 1.

This MIB object represents the percentage of amplitude modulation applied to the second frequency when the MIB object pktcSigDevToneFreqMode is set to a value of 'firstModulatedBySecond (1)'. If the MIB object pktcSigDevToneFreqMode is set to value of 'summation (2)', then this MIB object MUST be ignored.

This MIB object contains the decibel level for each analog signal (tone) that is locally generated (versus in-band supervisory tones) and sourced to the a-b terminals (TE connection point). Each tone in itself may consist of multiple frequencies, as defined by the MIB table pktcSigDevMultiFreqToneTable. This MIB object reflects the desired level at the Telco (POTS) a-b (T/R) terminals, including the effect of any MTA receiver gain (loss). This is required so that locally generated tones are consistent with remotely generated in-band tones at the a-b terminals, consistent with user expectations. This MIB object must be set for each tone. When tones are formed by combining multi-frequencies, the level of each frequency shall be set so as to result in the tone level specified in this object at the a-b (T/R) terminals. The wide range of levels for this Object is required to provide signal-generator levels across the wide range of gains (losses) -- but does not imply the entire range is to be achievable given the range of gains (losses) in the MTA.

This MIB object represents the duration for which the frequency reference corresponding to the tone type is turned on.

This MIB object represents the duration for which the frequency reference corresponding to the tone type is turned off.

This MIB object indicates the number of times to repeat the cadence cycle represented by the on/off durations (refer to the MIB objects pktcSigDevToneFreqOnDuration and pktcSigDevToneFreqOffDuration). Setting this object may result in a tone duration that is longer or shorter than the overall signal duration specified by the time out (TO) object for the corresponding tone type. If the value of this MIB Object indicates a longer duration than that specified by the TO, the latter overrules the former, and the desired tone duration will be truncated according to the TO. However, 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. A value of zero means the tone sequence is to be played once but not repeated.

This object specifies the delay between the end of the Line Reversal and the start of the FSK or DTMF signal. This MIB object is used only when pktcSigDevCidMode is set to a value of 'lrETS'. This timing has a range of 300 to 800 ms. The following table defines the default values for this MIB object, depending on the signal type (pktcSigDevCidMode), and MUST be followed: Value of pktcSigDevCidMode Default value duringringingETS any value (not used) dtAsETS any value (not used) rpAsETS any value (not used) lrAsETS any value (not used) lrETS 400 An attempt to set this object while the value of pktcSigDevCidMode is not set to a value of 'lrETS' will result in an 'inconsistentValue' error. The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This object identifies optional start codes used when the MIB object pktcSigDevCidSigProtocol is set to a value of 'dtmf(2)'. Different countries define different caller id signaling codes to support caller identification. When Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is used, the caller id digits are preceded by a 'start code' digit, followed by the digit transmission sequence ... (where Sx represents the digits 0-9), and terminated by the 'end code' digit. For example, ... ... ... . The start code for calling number delivery may be DTMF 'A' or 'D'. The start code for redirecting a number may be DTMF 'D'. The DTMF code 'B' may be sent by the network as a start code for the transfer of information values, through which special events can be indicated to the user. In some countries, the '*' or '#' may be used instead of 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D'. The value of this MIB object MUST NOT persist across MTA reboots.

This object identifies optional end codes used when the pktcSigDevCidSigProtocol is set to a value of 'dtmf(2)'. Different countries define different caller id signaling protocols to support caller identification.
