ANSI SCTE 165-17:2019 pdf download.IPCablecom 1.5-Part 17: Audio Server Protocol.
IPCablccorn is a set of protocols developed to deliver enhanced communications services using packetized data transmission technology to a consumer’s home over the cable network. The “IPCablecom Architecture Framework” is the starting point for understanding IPCablccom Interface Specifications, Technical reports, and other IPCablecorn documents.
The reference architecture for the IPUablecom Network is shown in Figure 1.
Announcement Servers, also known as Audio Servers are network components that manage and play informational tones and messages in response to events that occur in the network. Most announcements are media streams that originate from servers in the network. Some simple tones and short announcements can also reside at the MTA and in the MG.
1.3 Specification Language
1.4 Requirements and Conventions
Throughout this document, the words that are used to define the significance of’ particular requirements are capitalized. These words are:
“MUST” This word or the adjective “REQUIRED” means that the item is an absolute requirement of this specification.
“MUST NOT” This phrase means that the item is an absolute prohibition of this specification.
“SHOULD” This word or the adjective “RECOMMENDED” means that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore this item, but the full implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

hMAY This word or the adjective “OPTIONAL” means that this item is truly optional.
One vendor may choose to include the item because a particular marketplace requires it or because it enhances the product, for example; another vendor may omit the same item.
The legal/regulatory classification of IP-based voice communications provided over cable networks and otherwise, and the legal/regulatory obligations. if any, borne by providers of such voice communications, are not yet fully defined by appropriate legal and regulatory authorities. Nothing in this specification is addressed to, or intended to affect, those issues. In particular, while this document uses standard terms such as “call.”“call signaling,”“telephony,” etc., it will be evident from this document that while an IPCablecom network performs activities analogous to these PSTN functions, the manner by which it does so differs considerably from the manner in which they are performed in the PSTN by telecommunications carriers. These difierences may be significant for legal/regulatory purposes.ANSI SCTE 165-17 pdf download.
