The purpose of the Progress indicator information element is to describe an event which has occurred during the life of a call. The information element may occur two times in a message.
The Progress indicator information element is coded as shown in Figure 4-29 and Table 4-20.
The maximum length of this information element is four octets.

Note 4 - The use of different progress descriptions is further explained in Annex G. Note 5 - This progress description value shall be used only in the case of interworking in a full ISDN environment, e.g. when bearer capability selection is not supported or when resource or route of the preferred capability is not available. In case of interworking with a non-ISDN environment a progress description No. 1 shall be used. If the destination address is non-ISDN, the progress description No. 2 shall be used.  |
