METHOD FOR GENERALIZATION OF TELEPHONE SIGNALING REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACES IN A SINGLE CUSTOMER PREMISES DEVICE

摘要

A method for operating a telephony device accounts for variations ininternational standards for certain telephony operations, including hook flashfunctionality, pulse dialing operations, tone dialing operations, jitterbuffer size, debounce characteristics, transmitter and receiver gain, calleridentification functionality, pulse signaling operations, and ringingoperations. The method includes defining each of the plurality of values as amanagement information base object; receiving a plurality of downloadablevalues downloaded to the telephony device over an Internet Protocol network asa management information base table; storing the plurality of downloadablevalues in a memory in the telephony device; and using the stored plurality ofdownloadable values to control operations of the telephony device, includinghook flash functionality, pulse dialing operations, tone dialing operations,jitter buffer size, debounce characteristics, transmitter and receiver gain,caller identification functionality, pulse signaling operations, toneoperations, call progress tones (e.g., busy tone, ringback, tone, dial tone,etc.) and ringing operations. Various ranges and default values areestablished to provide a wide range of operating capability.
