<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a question regarding H.245 User Input
Indication. In section B.14.6, it states:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT
face=Arial> <FONT color=#0000ff>"The boolean basicString,<B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"> </B>when true, indicates that the
characters 0-9, * and # are supported."</FONT></FONT></SPAN>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My question is whether that those characters are supported
means that it is the only valid characters that may be transmitted? Or is
it also valid to transmit A,B,C,D, for example? In other words, does this
wording simply indicate the minimum set of characters that must be supported or
is the wording intended to specify the complete set of characters that may be
used with "basicString".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>H.323 Section 6.2.8 simply says that "alphaNumeric" must
be supported and that the characters 0-9, * and # must be supported and others
are optional. However, it does not speak to whether endpoints must
advertise support for basicString, IA5String, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>A second question: can somebody explain why there is a
CHOICE of "userInputSupportIndication" inside the UserInputIndication
message? Would we not always advertise capabilities via the
UserInputCapability only? Is the intent of having the
"userInputSupportIndication" for changing capabilities outside of a normal
capability exchange.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Any clarification you can provide would be most
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
