CHAPTER 3 TERMINALSIssue 5UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS General Description Page 1785.2 CCIS featuresNetworking - a powerful feature of the SOPHO 2000 IPS that sets it above competitivesystems of comparable size. This concept is based on the common Channel Inter-OfficeSignaling (CCIS) protocol.This protocol derives its functionality from the CCITT SS#7 recommendations. The CCISsignaling link, common to all voice and data channels, exchanges information relating toaddressing (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 TransparencyCentralized ServicesFacilities OptimizationEquipment InterchangeabilityLAN/WAN connectivityWith CCIS networking provides:Centralized Serviceso Centralized Voice Mailo Centralized SMDR/Call Accountingo Centralized Attendanto Centralized Emergency call facilitieso Busy Lamp Field for Predetermined StationsInitial benefits include the reduction of time spent training users that are transferredbetween locations and reduction of transport costs based on geographical location ofremote site.Facilities Optimizationo Centralized Public Switched Network Services: Analogue, E1, ISDNPRI/BRI, Calling Party Identificationo Equipment InterchangeabilityInitial benefits include: the ability to move equipment between locations; reducetime spent training end-users transferred between offices; and reduce costsassociated with specialized telephone services.Station Number SendingProvides individual identification of each user regardless of station location on thenetwork.Calling Party Informationo Caller ID for Incoming Transferred Call over CCISo 16 Digit CPN/ANI/Caller ID over CCIS (via LCR, Least Cost Routing)o Caller ID Analogue Station over CCISUsers will benefit from receiving Calling Party information regardless oftrunks/station location on the network and when calls are transferred from anothersystem on the network.Busy Lamp Field for Predetermined StationsProvides a busy status indication of the predetermined stations within the CCISNetwork. The visual indication is provided with a red LED associated with eachDSS button on the DSS/BLF Console and Multi-line Terminal. Pressing the DSSbutton allows a direct access to the programmed station within the CCIS Network.Managers and supervisors at remote sites without a local assistant
