RE: Signaling MIB - Draft 3 - Last Call - pktcSigDevToneT ype (Issue 3)

Motorola disagrees with the deletion of the following items from the pktcSigDevToneType object:

userDefined1 (13),
userDefined2 (14),
userDefined3 (15),
userDefined4 (16)

These objects are required by several international operators to support additional signals for their networks.

To ensure these user defined objects can be signaled, Motorola is initiating a proposal to modify TS 909-101 part 4, appendix B.4 to include NCS line codes and other parameters. For example:

Code		Description			Signal

ps1		Programmable Signal 1	TO
ps2		Programmable Signal 2	TO
ps3		Programmable Signal 3	TO
ps4		Programmable Signal 4	TO

The ITU spec, supplement 2 to 180 will also be reviewed to see if more than four user defined signals are required for the pktcSigDevToneType object.
