Motorola's suggested text for the pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount and
pktcSigDevToneSteady objects to address this issue.

tone duration than the signal duration specified by the TO, the tone
duration defined

            the overall signal duration for a tone.  In this case, the
tone duration repeat count will not be fully exercised and the desired
tone duration will be truncated per the TO setting.  If the repeat count
results in a shorter tone duration than the signal duration specified by
the TO, the tone duration defined by the repeat count takes precedence
over the TO and will end the signal event. In this case, the TO

	Subject: IETF NCS Sig MIB draft 6 -> Issue for
pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount/pktcSigDevToneSteady when duration is
shorter than TO
	
	
	Satish,
	 
	Thanks for raising this issue. The intent of the
pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount and pktcSigDevToneSteady was to
support telco industry standards. If a tone definition using repeat
count objects results in a tone sequence that is shorter than the TO
time, the repeat count takes significance. I checked the NCS spec on
this issue and I don't see a clear indication of expected behaviour when
a tone duration is shorter than an associated TO.
	 
	Do you have text you would like to propose as a solution for the
description of these objects?
	 
	Comments?

	>The MIbs specify the case where longer duration is set. However
they do not specifically say what to do in the case >where setting the
pktcSigDevToneWholeToneRepeatCount results in a tone duration which is
shorter than the tone >duration which is specified through the timeout
(TO)???    
	 
	>What is the expected duration behavior in this case?? Does the
MTA has to observe the specified number of repeat counts?? or does it
stick to the value in timeout(TO) MIB?  Please throw some light on
expected behavior.
