About This Document

This reference manual provides detailed information about the CallVisor® Adjunct/Switch Application Interface1 for the DEFINITY®Enterprise Communications Server (ECS).

NOTE:

The term switch is no longer used in this document and has been replaced by the DEFINITY ECS or the ECS. A few exceptions remain, such as the feature, Switch-Classified calls and the term, Switch-Hook Flash as well as the proper name of ASAI - Adjunct/Switch Application Interface.

ASAI is a communications interface that allows application processors (called adjuncts in this document) to access ECS features and control ECS calls.

The ASAI is implemented using either an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (ASAI-BRI) or an Ethernet interface (ASAI over the DEFINITY LAN Gateway).

Reason for Reissue

This document has been updated with all the new features up to DEFINITY ECS software Release 6.3.

1.CallVisor ASAI is referred to as ASAI throughout this manual.
