The BEARERMODE_ bit-flag constants describe different bearer modes of a call. When an application makes a call, it can request a specific bearer mode. These modes are used to select a certain quality of service for the requested connection from the underlying telephone network. Bearer modes available on a given line are a device capability of the line.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
BEARERMODE_ALTSPEECHDATA | The alternate transfer of speech or unrestricted data on the same call (ISDN). |
BEARERMODE_DATA | The unrestricted data transfer on the call. The data rate is specified separately. |
BEARERMODE_MULTIUSE | The multiuse mode defined by ISDN. |
BEARERMODE_NONCALLSIGNALING | This corresponds to a non-call-associated signaling connection from the application to the service provider or switch (treated as a media stream by TAPI). |
BEARERMODE_PASSTHROUGH | When a call is active in BEARERMODE_PASSTHROUGH, the service provider gives direct access to the attached hardware for control by the application. This mode is used primarily by applications desiring temporary direct control over asynchronous modems, accessed through the Win32 communication functions, for the purpose of configuring or using special features not otherwise supported by the service provider. |
BEARERMODE_RESTRICTEDDATA | Bearer service for digital data in which only the low-order seven bits of each octet may contain user data (for example, for Switched 56kbit/s service). |
BEARERMODE_SPEECH | This corresponds to G.711 speech transmission on the call. The network can use processing techniques such as analog transmission, echo cancellation, and compression/decompression. Bit integrity is not assured. Speech is not intended to support fax and modem media types. |
BEARERMODE_VOICE | This is a regular 3.1 kHz analog voice-grade bearer service. Bit integrity is not assured. Voice can support fax and modem media types. |
