Dear Jörg and all, When preparing H.323 Annex G - Text SET, I studied the base SET document; Annex F as in TD11 from Monterey, and came across a few points raising questions.
I hope I can get clarifications on these points.
1. In section 6. it is said that for the Audio SET, "Data-capability is optional - possibly support for facsimile transmission." If this section is as is stated - for the Audio SET, then "No Data Capability" should be specified. And I think that is a good structure - Then I can write that the Text SET has Media Capabilities as for the Audio Set but with Data Capability for text conversation according to T.140.
2. In section 7.3.2. the explanations of the abbreviations M O I N, refers to Audio SET devices. The rest of this section looks general, why I suggest that the word "Audio" should be deleted in these four explanations.
3. Media Exchange. Insert TCP among the allowed protocols, so that data transmission SET:s can be allowed.
4. In section 7.6.1, the last sentence is "The OpenLogicalChannel structure should offer the same audio encodings that were in use prior to call rerouting." Looking back to the discussions in the list the last few weeks, I find that this sentence is misleading and can safely be deleted. The result should be that coding changes and media additions shall be allowed to occur after the rerouting.
5. In section 7.6.2, change the word "resume" to "start" in the last sentence. Since media additions may occur, media streams may be new after the rerouting.
6. Terminal type for SET types. I want to discuss the "Endpoint Type" specification in H.225.0 as described among the additions to implementor´s guides, titled "Addition of a terminal type for Simple Endpoint Types"and in Annex F, section 7.1. Bit 0 =1 if the device is an Audio SET. My question is: Should this specifier rather mark available functions than complete SETs? Then, bit 0 could indicate "the device has Audio functions" and , bit 2 could indicate "the device has Text conversation features." A Text SET should set them booth. This would allow for a combined text - fax - audio -SET.
