Pulse Code Modulation Line Signaling and the Belgium Tone Plan

Pulse Code Modulation Line Signaling and the Belgium Tone Plan

This chapter describes pulse code modulation line signaling used by the VCO. It also details the modifications to the Digital Tone Generator (DTG or DTG-2) and Call Progress Analyzer (CPA) to support the supervision tones specific to the Belgium telephone network.

The information in this chapter supersedes the information in the following manuals:

Pulse Code Modulation Line Signaling

Table 2-1 describes the 2-bit, channel-associated pulse code modulation (PCM) line signaling used by the VCO system equipped with E1 interface cards. Forward signals are used by originating or outgoing ports, while backward signals are generated by incoming ports. For more information on E1 cards, refer to the Cisco VCO/4K Card Technical Descriptions manual.

Tone Detection

CPA processing is modified to support the Belgium network requirements. Use the system administration answer supervision templates function to control tone detection for tones listed in Table 2-2. Supervision template processing is described in the Cisco VCO/4K System Administrator's Guide.


Note   The supervision events listed in the Answer Supervision Template screen are based on standard North American network terminology. The terms "ringback" and "audible ringback" are synonymous with the term "ringing tone." The terms "reorder" and "fast busy" are synonymous with the term "disconnect tone."

Answer Supervision Template Screen Terminology

The supervision events and tones listed in the Answer Supervision Template screen use standard North American network terminology. Table 2-3 shows the Answer Supervision Template screen terms to use with the Belgium country feature package.

Tone Generation

Tone generation is performed through DTG outpulse and static tone channels. The allocation of these tones is controlled via inpulse rules, Voice Path Control ($66), and DTMF Collection Control ($67) commands.

Table 2-4 supersedes the tone generator table listed in the Cisco VCO/4K Standard Programming Reference and the Cisco VCO/4K Extended Programming Reference. It also supersedes the tone output level specifications found in the Cisco VCO/4K Card Technical Descriptions. For more information on generating tones, refer to the Cisco VCO/4K System Administrator's Guide.

DTMF tones have dual frequencies. In this tone plan, the output level is listed with the lower frequency first, followed by the higher frequency. The tones and their corresponding output levels, decimal values, hexadecimal values, and port addresses are summarized in Table 2-4.
