Cathy,

Take a look at ANSI T1.112.4-2000/5.3.6.2(5) and 5.3.6.3(5).  When
SCCP Flow Control is used, MTP-STATUS (user part unavailable) will
trigger local N-STATE primitives indicating "User-out-of-Service".

Also ANSI T1.112.4-2000/5.3.6.7 and 5.3.6.8 N-PCSTATE will be locally
broadcast indicating "SCCP inaccessible".

Timer T(stat.info) is started or restarted in both cases and when it
expires, N-STATE (User-in-service) and N-PCSTAT(SCCP accessible) will
be locally broadcast.

But also, see ANSI T1.112.4-2000/5.5.2 and 5.5.4 which specifically
provide for SST (SSN=1) in response to MTP-STATUS (inaccessible or
unknown).  Again, as part of "Optional" SCCP Flow Control.

Your information appears incorrect (or dated).
