Summary:                    [patch] PacketCable NCS 1.0 Support for Docsis /
Eurodocsis Networks
Description: 
This patch add the minimal required support to make work (without great
problems) some NCS 1.0, eMTAs...

At this time we have working in final customers around 4000/5000 lines
using this software and the following eMTAs:

    * Arris 401 B (Eurodocsis)
    * Arris 401 A (Docsis)
    * Arris 402 B (Eurodocsis)
    * Arris 402 A (Docsis)
    * Arris 501 B (Eurodocsis)
    * Arris 501 A (Docsis)
    * Arris 502 B (Eurodocsis)
    * Arris 502 A (Docsis)
    * Arris Wi-Fi WTM552 B (Eurodocsis)
    * Arris Wi-Fi WTM552 A (Docsis)
    * Scientific Atlanta EPX2203
    * Terayon TA202 (EuroDOCSIS)

We know that it work with other models as well, but these are the models
we have working at production sites...

This code is a evolution of a initial NCS patch download from
http://asterisk.urtho.net/tiki-index.php (Sorry but I don't have the author
name and the URL is not working)....

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I created a patch against ncs-pktccops-12950-r206803.patch to send
digitmaps definitions to endpoints, so endpoints will collect digits and
send a single NTFY containing all of them ("enbloc" mode), instead of a
NTFY per digit ("overlap" mode). Using this patch existing configuration
files will exhibit the same behaviour as before applying it, so this is a
backwards compatible change. See the attached digitmaps.patch and the
example usage in digitmaps-example_conf.txt. Notes:

- A CLI command "mgcp show digitmaps" was added.

- Realtime doesn't have an analogous to "=>" definitions, so if you want
to reference a digitmap from an endpoint defined with Realtime use the '@'
syntax.

- Using Realtime with digitmaps was not tested at all, but I think it must
work ok.

- Some Motorola MTAs seems to malfunction if the digitmap sent is not
enclosed between parentheses, so always use them.
