CALL PROCESSOR

5.3 CALL PROCESSOR CONTROL

The Call Processor controls several different

databases and secondary functions of the Switch. The following are some of the major functions of the Call Processor.

5.3.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The system configuration provides for initialization of modules and database management. When a module sends an initialization request to the Call Processor, the Call Processor searches the configuration database and sends initialization information to the module. If the module number is not found, the Call Processor creates an alarm and places the module in standby mode.

The specific parameters for each module are contained in the database. Both configuration's database and Switch-to-site setup is viewed or modified and the channel configuration's loading time is set. The system analyzer parameters may be viewed and modified. The system loading may be viewed. The total configuration database is stored and retrieved from hard disk or floppy disk.

5.3.2 MANUAL DEVICE CONTROL

The manual device control allows the operator to do the following:

1.Restart single or multiple modules

2.Enable/disable a module from operation

3.Read/write to memory of modules or devices

4.Set date/time.

5.Turn on/off the alarm records storage, activity log, and screen saver functions

6.Change password.

7.Change the system title of the SMM.

8.Control the receiver voter functions.

9.Control the system analyzer operator by site.

5.3.3 SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT

The Subscriber Management allows an operator to view, set or modify the Home/Group IDs and the Unique IDs permissions. Unique IDs may be controlled for suspend audio, and selective unit disable (kill).

The Dynamic Reassignment of Unique IDs can be controlled from the Call Processor. A Unique ID may be moved to a new System and Group or it may have the programmable group of a system set to a new group.

This function allows the following:

1.A Unique ID to be interrogated.

2.The current ID being used on each channel to be displayed by the operator.

3.Access for each user for Group and Unique IDs can be set or viewed for RMF control.

4.Passwords for each user may be assigned for RMF control.

The file management for the above databases is done by storing and retrieving the files from the hard disk or floppy disk.

5.3.4 ACTIVITY LOG UTILITIES

The system operator can use the Call Processor keyboard to enter information messages. The Call Processor monitor activity window displays alarms and information for the current day's log and history files. The activity log contains a time stamp of when the activity occurred.

5.3.5 CALL COMPLETION

The call completion function handles database management of trunk assignments and telephone number assignments. The trunk assignments may be viewed, set, stored or retrieved on both hard disk and floppy disk. The telephone numbers are viewed and assigned Unique IDs and the telephone assignment database is stored and retrieved on the hard disk and floppy disk.
