NOTES

1. Included in the network-to-user direction if the network provides in-band tones. See Annex D for usage in the user-to-network direction.

2. Included by the network if in-band tones are provided. However, the user may include the progress indicator and provide in-band tones. See Annex D. In such cases the network will ignore this information element and will not convey the in-band tones.

3. Included if the network provides information that can be presented to the user.

4. The minimum length is 2 octets; the maximum length is network dependent and is either 34 or 82 octets.

5. Included if the network optionally provides additional information describing tones.
