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)....

For using this path with configuration using conf files, yo only need
to patch the code and modify the "mgcp.conf" file indicating the devices
(MTA) that use NCS protocol (with the conf parameter ncs=1)

For example, as global conf we use:

[general]
port = 2727
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
disallow = all
allow = alaw
allow = ulaw
tos=lowdelay
bandwidth=high
language=en

And to define a MTA device using NCS with two lines (aaln/1, aaln/2)
we use something similar to:

[mta23.pov.ddns]
wcardep = aaln/*
singlepath = no
ncs = 1
nat = never
singlepath = no
host = mta23.pov.ddns
dtmfmode = rfc2833
context = Externas
language = en
callerid = "" <1252>
transfer = no
threewaycalling = no
mailbox = 
line = aaln/1
dtmfmode = rfc2833
context = Externas
language = en
callerid = "" <1253>
transfer = no
threewaycalling = no
mailbox = 
line = aaln/2


To define a MTA device with only a line (aaln/1), we use something
similar to:

[mta131.pov.ddns]
wcardep = aaln/*
singlepath = no
ncs = 1
nat = never
singlepath = no
host = mta131.pov.ddns
dtmfmode = hybrid
context = Internas
language = en
callerid = "" <1322>
transfer = no
threewaycalling = no
mailbox = 
line = aaln/1


In fact, the only conf value added is ncs = 1, on each NCS device. The
others conf parameters are the normal for mgcp.conf.

Hope this help
