Dear experts,
I'd like to check my interpretation of the format of the BearerCaps IE for a Setup message for call-independent signalling connections. Per H.225.0 7.2.2.1: "If this information element appears in a Setup message for a call-independent signalling connection as defined in Recommendation H.450.1, the coding shall follow 7.2/H.450.1."
Normally this IE will have octets 3, 4, and 5, and if multirate, also octet 4.1, for length of either 5 or 6 octets. But for the signalling only connection, 7.2/H.450.1 states: "...the coding defined in Q.931 shall apply for octets 1 to 2 and bit 8 of octets 3 to 4. Information transfer capability, Transfer mode and Information transfer rate shall be encoded as indicated and no other octets shall be included." So for this case we have only octets 1 to 4, with a length therefore of 4 octets. Taking this with the bit 8 coding from Q.931, it appears that for the signalling case the BearerCaps IE should contain octets 3 and 4 with values:
3: 0xA8 4: 0x80
Does this seem correct?
