New subject: The meaning of "mode" in the H.323 Recommendation?

26 Jan 2001

      Paul,

the sections I was referring to are the following:

- 6.2.8.1, 5th paragraph: "The transmitting terminal assigns each individual mode ..."
- 6.2.8.1, 6th paragraph: "... audio modes ..."
- 6.2.8.1, 7th paragraph: "... indicates a set of modes ..."
- 6.2.8.1, 1st paragraph after the notes: "... dependencies between operating modes ...", "...different sets of modes ..."
- 6.2.8.2,  3rd paragraph: "... certain symmetrical modes ...", " ... using a particular mode ..."

Undoubtedly it appears in more places.

Something else that struck as strange, was section 6.2.8.6. It mentions H.225.0 logical signalling procedures and
H.225.0 logical channels. I would assume that these should read "H.245".

Classification:

Frank,

I would need to look at the particular section of text or sections :-), but
I if it isn't clear, I'd agree that it should be clarified.  Unfortunately,
it's too late to get such text into H.323 version 4.

If it is a short list of sections, post them here and I suspect folks will
be able to get an answer to you before I get back into the office (I'm
currently on the road).  If the list is lengthy, just send it to me and I'll
look at the sections when I get a chance.  Do you think this is something
that needs clarification in the implementers guide or something to try to
get into v5?

Paul

...
Paul,
as I was reading through the latest draft of H.323v4, I came across
something that has
been in the recommendation for a long time, but that I never quite
grasped: "mode".
The recommendation talks about "mode" and there is a (H.245) message to
request
a terminal to use a certain "mode" (requestMode), but there is no
explanation of what
"mode" actually means. Shouldn't there be a definition of "mode" in the
Definitions
section?
Regards,
Frank
