I have a question about the Metering Pulse Burst signal defined in H.248.26 (01/2005). This signal has two parameters: Burst Pulse Count & Pulse Repetion Interval. The Burst Pulse Count parameter specifies the number of metering pulses to be applied as a burst on the line. The description of this parameter says that "The type, duration and pulse repetition interval for the metering pulses comprising the burst are provisioned in the MG".
Considering that the pulse repetition interval is provisioned in the MG, I don't understand the reason why this signal has a "Pulse Repetition Interval" parameter. Furthermore the default value for the "Pulse Repetition Interval" parameter is "1" rather than "provisioned".
Can someone shade some light on this?
Thanks
Bruno
