4.16.3. StartTimeout (Start Timeout)

Description: The StartTimeout parameter is defined differently depending on the T-1 protocol used. Depending on the value of the ProtocolType parameter, the StartTimeout parameter is defined as follows:

• E&M wink - The amount of time that a call originator will wait for a wink once it has seized the line for an outbound call. The outbound call will fail if this time is exceeded.
• Ground start - The amount of time that a call originator will wait for the dial tone signal once it has seized the line for an outbound call. The outbound call will fail if this time is exceeded.
• Loop start - The call originator will wait the specified amount of time after seizing the line for an outbound call, and then proceed to sending digits (that is, can be used to for dial tone before dialing).

Values: Time (in milliseconds)
