The IT Telecommunication Standardizatio

16、n Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), w

17、hich meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the IT-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of informati

18、on technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Proper

26、S OF TONES FOR THE TELEPHONE SERVICE (revised in 1998) 1 General Administrations are reminded of the advantages of standardizing audible tones as far as possible so that subscribers and operators may quickly recognize any tone transmitted of whatever origin2. Guidance on the application of tones and

27、 recorded announcements in various situations is given in Recommen- dation E.182. In considering the degree of standardization, the ITU-T took account of the nature of the various tones already in use. It was also considered that Administrations introducing new tones would find it helpful to know th

28、e preferred limits of cadence, frequency and level. Limits for tone cadences and frequencies are set forth below, all working tolerances being included in the limits. Besides the limits applying to specifications, limits have been laid down for application to existing exchanges. These latter limits

29、are herein called accepted limits, while those for new equipment are called recommended limits. The present Recommendation covers the case where audible tones are applied within the network. However, the same frequencies and cadences are to be applied if, in the ISDN, the audible tones are generated

30、 at the terminal equipment. All Administrations and operating agencies are requested to submit a concise technical description of any new or changed network tones to the ITU-T whenever such tones are introduced. The technical detail should include: level, frequencies, cadence, duty cycle, modulation

31、 and any other parameters that are required to fully describe the new or changed network tone. 2 Electrical levels for tones For international purposes, the levels of the ringing tonethe busy tone, the congestion tonethe special information tone and the warning tonehave to be defined at a zero relat

32、ive level point at the incoming (in the traffic direction) end of the international circuit. The level of tones so defined must have a nominal value of -10 dBmO. The recommended limits should be not more than -5 dBmO nor less than -15 dBmO measured with continuous tone. For the special information t

33、one, a difference in level of 3 dB is tolerable between any two of the three frequencies which make up the tone. For the power level of the dial tone, the point of reference is the local exchange, where the subscriber line is connected. In the existing networks the absolute power at the 2-wire acces

34、s in the direction towards the subscriber station is normally in the range of -10 dBm k 5 dB. However, with respect to interference with Multifrequency Pushbutton (MFPB) receivers dial tone levels higher than -10 dBm should be avoided. See Supplement No. 2 at the end of the Blue Book, Fascicle 11.2,

35、 for particular values of tone cadences and frequencies in actual use. Recommendation E. 181 specifies the information which could be given to users to facilitate recognition of foreign tones. * Recommendation E.180/Q.35 (03198) 1 COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU Telecommunicatio

36、nsLicensed by Information Handling ServicesNOTE - The relative level of local exchanges in an analogue network is not fixed. For digital local exchanges the relative levels are given in Recommendation 4.517. A preferred level range of digital tone generators is -8 dBmO to -3 dBmO corresponding with

37、the above level range at the output of local exchanges. 3 Acoustical levels for tones When tones are generated by a source within a network, e.g. by a telephone exchange, the power level as perceived by the user will be influenced by the characteristics of the subscribers line and the equipment betw

38、een the source and the users ear. Furthermore, tones can be generated within the users equipment, triggered by signals from the exchange. In these circumstances it is necessary to define the tone level in terms of the preferred range of sound pressure levels as heard by the listener. Research has sh

39、own that the preferred listening level for information tones is substantially independent of room noise, circuit noise and tone cadence, but does vary over a range of tone frequencies. Figure 1 shows the recommended sound pressure levels, with upper and lower limits of the recommended range, over a

40、range of tone frequencies, based on these experiments. dBPa dBrap 10 I l Upper limit of recommended 1 I04 I02 I O0 98 96 u - 94 g io (u (u - 92 90 88 86 84 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 1000 2000 Hz T0207440-98/601 Frequency Figure 1lE.180 - Recommended listening level limits for tones It is emphasize

41、d that there is no one-to-one relationship between electrical and acoustical power levels. What acoustic level will result from a given electrical level is dependent on various parameters such as the characteristics of the users equipment. It should be noted that the recommended sound pressure level

42、s apply only to the most common situation of a user listening via a telephone handset, held reasonably close to the ear so that normal “ear coupling loss“ values apply. When using a loudspeaking telephone or a headset, the preferred sound pressure level is generally lower than the recommended levels

44、ded that dial tone should be: - either a single frequency tone in the range 400-450 Hz; - or a combined tone composed of up to three frequencies, with at least one frequency in each of the ranges 340-425 Hz and 400-450 Hz. The difference between any two frequencies should be at least 25 Hz. 4.3 Reco

45、gnizing the local nature of “normal“ use of dial tone, as well as the technical and economic consequences and consequences on customer habits of changes in dial tone, the full range of existing dial tones, including non-continuous tones as in Supplement No. 2 at the end of Blue Book, Fascicle 11.2,

46、are considered acceptable. However, when adopting a new single frequency dial tone, Administrations are recommended to use 425 Hz. 4.4 recommended for analogue generated tones (see Annex A). Where digital tone generation is applied, the frequencies for dial tone should be the same as those 4.5 In or

47、der to prevent interference of harmonics or spurious components of the dial tone with the frequencies recommended for pushbutton telephone sets in Recommendation 4.23 and the MFPB signal reception specified in Recommendation 4.24, the maximum permissible power level of harmonics or quantizing noise

48、of the dial tone has to be limited in a suitable way, depending on the specific characteristics of the implementations of the dial tone generator and the MFPB receivers within the same exchange. Examples of such limitations for the dial tone generator are given in Annex B. NOTE - In cases of digital

49、 generation of the dial tone, the quantizing noise is composed of a number of spectral lines which depend on the number of samples in the generating pattern. In order to reduce the amplitude of the quantizing components, the number of samples should be chosen sufficiently high, thus spreading the quantizing distortion power more evenly over the whole spectnim. 5 Ringing tone 5.1 Ringing tone is a slow period tone, in which the tone period is shorter than the silent period. The recommended limits for the tone period (including tolerances) are from 0.67 to 1.5 seconds.
