NOTES

1. This default value assumes the use of default values at layer 2 (i.e. N200 + 1] times T200). Whether these values should be modified when layer 2 default values are modified by an automatic negotiation procedure is for further study.

2. The network may already have applied an internal alerting supervision timing function; e.g. incorporated within call control. If such a function is known to be operating on the call, then timer T301 is not used.

3. The value of this timer is implementation dependent but should be less than the value of T316.

4. If in the call abort state, the call reference is released. Otherwise, no action is taken on expiry of timer T312.

5. The value of timer T302 may vary beyond these limits, e.g. as a result of called party number analysis.

6. The value of timer T306 may depend on the length of the announcement.

7. The value of timer T310 may be different in order to take into account the characteristics of a private network.

8. This value may vary by network-user agreement.

9. The restart procedures contained in 5.5 may be used on B-channels in the maintenance condition.

10. The value of this timer is network dependent.

NOTES

1. This default value assumes the use of default values at layer 2, i.e. [N200 + 1] times T200. Whether these values should be modified when layer 2 default values are modified by an automatic negotiation procedure is for further study.

2. The value of this timer is implementation dependent, but should be less than the value of T316.

3. The user may already have applied an internal alerting supervision timing function, e.g. incorporated within call control. If such a function is known to be operating on the call, then timer T301 is not used.

4. T310 is not started if progress indicator 1 or 2 has been delivered in the CALL PROCEEDING message or in a previous PROGRESS message.

5. The restart procedures contained in 5.5 may be used on B-channels in the maintenance conditions.

6. The value of this timer is implementation dependent.
