Hi Greg,
Your interpretation is correct.
MG should not stop signal on physical termination in your case while adding=
 another termination in that context and should be able to play signals on =
both terminations as instructed by MGC.

Subject: [Megaco] Wildcard "$" in Add command changes Signal properties in =
physical termination


Hello all,

I came across a strange scenario which I haven't been able to justify it fr=
om the H.248.1 document.

We have an MGC-MG connection in a call waiting scenario where the MGC appli=
es call-waiting tone to the MG in a physical termination via the following =
message: C =3D 1 { MF=3Dport_1{ SG { CG/CW } } }

The message is successfully ack'ed by the MG and the PSTN subscriber succes=
sfully hears the call-waiting tone. What will happen to the call-waiting to=
ne if the MGC issues an Add command with wildcard "$" and ring-back tone ap=
plication, like the one below?

C =3D 1 {  A=3D$ { M { O { MO=3DIN,NT/JIT=3D0 } , L  { SDP } } ,  SG{CG/RT}=
 } }

[ As expected, the MG chooses an ephemeral termination in the subsequent Ad=
d Reply]

Does H.248.1 state anywhere that if a signal is applied in a command that b=
ears a wildcard "$" termination, , it will replace the last signal that was=
 applied in the physical termination?  We observed that upon sending the Ad=
d command, the call-waiting tone is deactivated! I would consider this beha=
vior as a MG deficiency, but I would gladly like to hear your opinion, as w=
ell.

Thank you,

Greg
