Used to control the association state, as represented by mgcAssociationState. The possible value for a set operation on this object are: 'mgcUnassociate': Transition from any state to 'mgcUnassociated'. If registered, MG will initiate deregistration. 'mgcAssociate' : Transition to 'mgcAssociated'. If applicable, MG will register with MGC. If MGCP is the coordination protocol, MG will send RSIP. If MG cannot establish communication, it will subsequently transition into 'mgcAssociatedCommLoss' for the 'mgcAssociationState' object. If MG is already associated with MGC, no transition will take place and mgcAssociationState shall not change. 'mgcClear' : No action will be taken. This means that the Media Gateway will not initiate any association/unassociation.

This object is being moved to the mgcRedundancyGrpParamTable. This object is deprecated because the association state control is defined per MGC redundancy group, rather than per MGC.
