Traffic load, defined as the sum of static and dynamic loads, is a function of the number of features that are executed, the frequency with which they are executed, the system configuration, a n d t h e i n s t a n t a n e o u s ( p e a k ) c a l l p r o c e s s i n g l o a d . T h e c o n f i g u r a t i o n contribution to load is known as dynamic load. The static load consists of maintenance and audit routines.

Software Partitioning

System 25 software is comprised of various modules, each supporting a particular process. Typical modules (referred to as tasks) include the following:

Administration

Station Call Processing

Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) Call Record Processing

Trunk Call Processing

Dial Plan Manager

Event Timer

Save/Restore

(Administration

function)

Maintenance and Audit Functions.

As shown on Figure 3-22,software tasks associated with the Memory Circuit Pack are Administration and Feature Code Modules, which includes Station Call Processing. Each task controls the storage and movement of data and messages between associated elements within the system.

Memory Circuit Pack

Administration: Provides for administration of station and system features. This software also supports maintenance procedures related to error checking and diagnosing trouble.

Feature Code Modules: Includes the software that receives and sends data to/from the Operating System, as well as control of all voice and data features supported by the system. Station Call Processing includes the processing of messages and data associated with voice terminal on-hook/off-hook indications, associated port identifications, button and LED operations, etc. The SMDR software generates SMDR records associated with a particular call. The records are then sent to the System RAM for storage and then to the SMDR output channel.

Call Processor Circuit Pack

System RAM: Provides for the storage of the following:

Variables for the various software tasks

System

translations

Error Records

Feature Code Data
