PPL Component for L3P H.245 - 0x00A2
Overview
This section includes configuration bytes, PPL Events, and Event Indications for the PPL Component L3P H.245.

Option (*default) |
---|---|---|
0x01 |

0x00*- Send the T.38 fax parameters in the TCS message. 0x01 - Do Not Send T.38 parameters. |
0x02 |

0x00 - Do not initiate RTDSE. A non-zero character will initiate RTDSE. |
0x03 |

0x00 - Do propagate, do not report 0x01 - Do propagate, do report 0x02 - Do not propagate, do not report 0x03 - Do not propagate, do report |
0x04 |
DTMF Digit Propagation/Reporting Digit information is propagated or reported to host in the form of a PPL Event Indication DTMF Digit Receive timeout is reported to host in the form of a PPL Event Indication when this configuration byte is set to 0x01 or 0x03. |
0x00* - Do propagate, do not report 0x01 - Do propagate, do report 0x02 - Do not propagate, do not report 0x03 - Do not propagate, do report |
0x05 |

0x00* - Do not attach DTMF Receiver when call answered 0x01 - Attach DTMF Receiver when call answered |
Table 8-18 PPL Event Requests
PPL Event Request ID |
Purpose |
---|---|
0x01 |
Attach DTMF Receiver |
0x02 |
Release DTMF Receiver |
You can use these PPL Event Requests to attach or release a DTMF receiver from the IP channel in an answered call. The default is that the DTMF receiver will not be attached to the IP channel when the call is answered.
If there is a problem attaching the DTMF receiver, the channels involved will not purge and the CSP sends an alarm to the host:
• 0x06 DSP Resource Block Occurred
• 0x07 DSP Resource Function Type Not Configured
• 0x08 DSP Resource Management Inconsistent
If the host generated the request via a PPL Event Request, an appropriate response is returned to the host.
In cases where the Matrix Controller does not send an alarm, the IP Signaling Series 3 card generates its own channel alarm:
• 0x09 Invalid Associated Channel
• 0x0A DSP Resource Wait Timeout
If the host generated the request via a PPL Event Request, an appropriate response is returned to the host.
• 0x519C No Associated Timeslot
• 0x519D DSP Resource Wait Timeout
• 0x519E Invalid DSP Resource Request

Refer to PPL Component Addressing in the PPL Component Information in the API Reference.
The timers below determine the DTMF transmission/reception parameters on the PSTN channel associated with an IP channel in a call.
To configure the DTMF timers for the H.245 component, use the PPL Timer Configure (0x00CF) message with PPL Component of 0xA2 and Timer Type of 0x03. The span channel values used are those assigned to the VDAC-ONE (or IP Network Interface Series 2) card.
To query the DTMF timers, use the host message PPL Data Query 0x00DE with the PPL component of 0x00A2 (H.245) and the span channel assigned to the VDAC-ONE (or IP Network Interface Series 2) card. Use the PPL Configuration Entity of 0x07 (DTMF timers).

DTMF Digit Reception for User Input Indication
When an IP channel is connected to a PSTN channel a DTMF receiver needs to be attached to the PSTN channel to receive DTMF digits. By default, the receiver is not attached and the host can control when the receiver is attached and released by sending the relevant PPL Event Requests.
The purpose of the DTMF timers above is similar to that in the Collect Digit String (0xBC) host message. The default value for the First Digit Detect timer is 20 seconds. If a digit is not received within this time, the DTMF receiver will time out, will remain attached, and the channel will not purge. The connection will not be affected.
If no action is taken by the host, the timer will restart and time out again after the configured time. This scenario will occur continuously until the call is terminated or the host releases the receiver.
The timer may be disabled by setting its value to 0xffff. In this case the DTMF receiver will not time out. A PPL Event Indication of DTMF Digit Receive Timeout (0x04) will be sent to the host each time the DTMF digit receive timer expires.
The DTMF maximum receive interdigit timeout value means nothing in this case as the DTMF receiver is configured to receive a single digit in a single string and so will report the digit when it has been received.
