SYSTEM OPERATION (BRIEF EXAMPLE)
When a call request arrives at a SmarTrunk II controller, a short data packet
will be sent from the controller’s RS-232 data port to the ST-422 board which
serves as the switch gate for that controller. This packet is processed by the
main ST-510 CPU and software, which decodes all information such as sub-
scriber number, required service, etc. Once the subscriber name is decoded,
the program will access the main database, looking for the subscriber profile
and checking if the service request is valid for that particular subscriber.
If the requested service was a mobile-to-mobile call, the system software will
search for the profile and status of the called party, checking if the party is busy
or free and if this type of call is valid for the called party. If valid, the ST-510
will send a new data packet (via Roaming Bus) to each site in the network
where the called party is authorized to roam. The ST-510 at the remote site(s)
will then direct a free SmarTrunk II controller to page the called party.
The SmarTrunk II controller will the look for the acknowledgment signal from
the called party. If the called party is out of range or his/her radio is turned off,
the main ST-510 computer will immediately transfer the caller to Voice Mail.
If the called party is within range, the main ST-510 CPU opens an audio path
from the original controller (calling party) to the second controller (called party)
in a process which requires no more than one-half second beyond the normal
SmarTrunk II signaling time. If the called party answers, the conversation
takes place as normal. If the called party does not answer within a pro-
grammed time, the calling party is directed to Voice Mail. When either party
ends the call, all resources are released and the call information is reported to
the call record account file.
