3.1. DMS-100 CompuCALL Interface Specification (Q218)

The DMS-100 provides several software options to provide different call processing features. The Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is a feature package on the DMS-100 system that provides an equal distribution of calls to a configured set of answering positions.

The ACD feature allows Agents assigned to positions to answer calls assigned to specific queues. Incoming calls are routed to the relevant queue based on the number dialed. The calls are then answered in priority; First In First Out (FIFO) order by the most idle Agent.

There are two CompuCALL Application Service Options available from the DMS-100: the Meridian ACD CompuCALL Options and the Meridian Digital Centrex (MDC) CompuCALL Option. The Meridian ACD CompuCALL Options relate to DMS-100 Centrex lines configured with ACD features (Centrex ACD lines and the voice set support by ACD). The Meridian Digital Centrex (MDC) CompuCALL Options relate to DMS- 100 lines configured with Meridian Digital Centrex business features.

The Meridian ACD CompuCALL with the Meridian ACD Option allows customers to develop incoming and outgoing ACD call handling systems. The primary purpose of the Meridian ACD CompuCALL service is to provide the DeskTop CTI Application support of coordinate voice with data (CVD).

The CompuCALL Interface support for coordinated voice and data is accomplished with a set of application services. An application service is a group of options for a specific customer application. CompuCALL Options are a set of options offered by the telephone company to a CompuCALL customer. The options available on the DMS-100 are the Meridian ACD CompuCALL Option and the Meridian Digital Centrex (MDC) CompuCALL Option.

The MDC CompuCALL Option provides application services to non-ACD lines. The main application of the MDC CompuCALL option is the coordinated voice and data delivery to an end user work station for handling incoming calls.

3.1.1.CompuCALL Bandwidth Requirements

The X.25 bandwidth requirements for the CompuCALL Interface are dependent upon a number of factors. This includes, the Meridian ACD CompuCALL options selected, selected message(s) and their size, Busy Hour Call Rate, number of Agents and their activities, and the number of administrative commands utilized. The following is the bandwidth calculation which can help determine the physical connections required when configuring the DMS-100 PG.

Formula 1:

BandWidth (bit/sec)

= CallsPH / 3600 * TotalBytesPC * ByteToBit *

Where: CallsPH

- average calls per hour (call/hour),

SL-100, DMS-100 specifications

Cisco Systems DMS-100 and SL-100 are advanced digital media systems that play a crucial role in the telecommunications landscape. These platforms are designed primarily for the efficient delivery of voice and data services, making them integral components in the next-gen network architecture.

The DMS-100 is known for its robustness, serving as a digital central office switch. It supports the essential functions of voice service delivery, including call processing, routing, and signaling for local and long-distance calls. One of its standout features is its adaptability, allowing service providers to scale services based on demand. This scalability ensures that operators can efficiently manage large volumes of voice traffic without compromising on quality.

On the other hand, the SL-100 is distinguished by its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It is a compact, modular platform that enables operators to offer a variety of services, including VoIP, multimedia communications, and more. The SL-100’s design caters to smaller service providers or those looking to extend their services without a massive infrastructure investment. Its modularity ensures that operators can add or change functionalities as the market evolves.

Both systems incorporate advanced technologies crucial for modern telecommunications. They leverage softswitch technology, which facilitates the transition from traditional circuit-switched networks to IP-based architectures. This shift allows for better resource utilization and reduced operational costs, as voice calls can be transmitted over existing data networks.

Moreover, both the DMS-100 and SL-100 support HD Voice and other enhancements that ensure crystal-clear voice quality. They employ various codecs and signaling protocols, including H.323 and SIP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and platforms. Additionally, both systems provide extensive monitoring and management capabilities, allowing service providers to analyze performance metrics and quickly troubleshoot issues.

In terms of security, Cisco has integrated several features that protect against unauthorized access and service disruptions. This focus on security is essential, particularly as networks become more interconnected and exposed to potential threats.

Overall, the Cisco DMS-100 and SL-100 embody pioneering technologies that meet the demanding needs of modern telecommunications. Their combination of scalability, flexibility, security, and advanced features makes them invaluable assets for service providers striving to deliver high-quality voice and data services in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
