Line Signaling

The Line Signaling object is a child of the Signaling object. It defines the signaling protocol that the NE uses to communicate with IADs and subscribers.

This object is pre-configured (configuration information is delivered with the NE), and you cannot create or delete it.


Parameter

Access

Description
Suspend timer duration Change The duration in seconds of the Suspend timer. This controls how long the softswitch will wait after the non-release controlling party (usually the called party) has hung up before releasing the call. Range: 1 - 172800 (2 days). The default is 12.
Ring timer duration Change The duration in seconds of the Ring timer. This controls how long the softswitch will ring a phone before giving up and releasing the call. Any diversion call services (such as Delay Call Forwarding) should be set up to take effect before this timer expires. Range: 1 - 3600 (1 hour). The default is 60 (1 minute).
Line treatment after call disconnect Change The line treatment that should be applied after a subscriber is disconnected from a call. Values:
  • Permanent (default)
    Play a reorder tone and then leave the line silent.
  • Dial tone
    Play a dial tone.
Timed release interval Change The release interval for disconnecting incoming calls to loop start lines. This is the interval in seconds from when the caller disconnects until the NE plays the reorder tone to the called party. Range: 0 - 3600 seconds.
Deactivation mode Change Specifies how child objects should be deactivated when deactivating this object. Values:
  • Normal (default)
    Shut down child objects normally before deactivating the object.
  • Quiesce
    Deactivating the Line Signaling object in quiesce mode will wait for all existing child objects using the object to be completed before deactivation. No new child objects using this Line Signaling object will be accepted during this deactivation period.
  • Abort
    Deactivate the object and all its child objects immediately. (This may result in errors at remote systems.)
If a Normal or Quiesce deactivation is already in progress, you can force a faster deactivation by changing the value from Normal to Quiesce or from Quiesce to Abort.
Alarm state Read only Specifies whether any alarms are currently raised for this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - the object is not operating normally, and needs operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which this object depends is not operating normally.
Alarm log correlator Read only Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attend To Dependent alarm state for this object. This field is reset when the Attend To Dependent alarm events field is reset to zero.
Attend To Dependent alarm events Read only / Reset Number of times (since the alarm count was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attend To Dependent.
Alarm state changed timestamp Read only The time at which the Alarm state last changed.
Alarm events reset timestamp Read only The time at which the Attend To Dependent alarm events was last reset to zero.
Requested status Read only Specifies whether an administrator has attempted to activate the Line Signaling object. Values:
  • Active
    The object has been activated.
  • Inactive
    The object has not been activated or has been deactivated.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
Actual status Read only Specifies the current status of the Line Signaling object. Values:
  • Active
    The object is active.
  • Activating
    Activation is in progress.
  • Deactivating
    Deactivation is in progress.
  • Inactive
    The object is inactive.
  • Disabled
    The object has been disabled.
  • Activation Failed
    The object is inactive because an activation attempt has failed.
  • Failed
    The object was active but has failed.
  • Quiescing
    The object is preparing for normal deactivation. It is operating normally but will not accept any new users.
