5.2 CCIS features
Networking - a powerful feature of the SOPHO 2000 IPS that sets it above competitive
systems of comparable size. This concept is based on the common Channel Inter-Office
Signaling (CCIS) protocol.
This protocol derives its functionality from the CCITT SS#7 recommendations. The CCIS
signaling link, common to all voice and data channels, exchanges information relating to
addressing (dialed digits, calling/called number), supervisory functions (call setup &
termination), network accounting & management (centralized billing and fault reporting).
The key capabilities and benefits are:
95% Feature Transparency
Centralized Services
Facilities Optimization
Equipment Interchangeability
LAN/WAN connectivity
With CCIS networking provides:
Centralized Services
o
Centralized Voice Mail
o
Centralized SMDR/Call Accounting
o
Centralized Attendant
o
Centralized Emergency call facilities
o
Busy Lamp Field for Predetermined Stations
Initial benefits include the reduction of time spent training users that are transferred
between locations and reduction of transport costs based on geographical location of
remote site.
Facilities Optimization
o
Centralized Public Switched Network Services: Analogue, E1, ISDN
PRI/BRI, Calling Party Identification
o
Equipment Interchangeability
Initial benefits include: the ability to move equipment between locations; reduce
time spent training end-users transferred between offices; and reduce costs
associated with specialized telephone services.
Station Number Sending
Provides individual identification of each user regardless of station location on the
network.
Calling Party Information
o
Caller ID for Incoming Transferred Call over CCIS
o
16 Digit CPN/ANI/Caller ID over CCIS (via LCR, Least Cost Routing)
o
Caller ID Analogue Station over CCIS
Users will benefit from receiving Calling Party information regardless of
trunks/station location on the network and when calls are transferred from another
system on the network.
Busy Lamp Field for Predetermined Stations
Provides a busy status indication of the predetermined stations within the CCIS
Network. The visual indication is provided with a red LED associated with each
DSS button on the DSS/BLF Console and Multi-line Terminal. Pressing the DSS
button allows a direct access to the programmed station within the CCIS Network.
