Assign Services to Called Numbers

The system responds through the telephone:

The recorded phrase is: “Test, test, test.”

The system then returns to the INTUITY ChanTran main menu, starting with:

“Press 1 to initiate...”

NOTE:

If you heard the phrase, the test has completed successfully. If you did not hear the phrase, or the repeated phrase cannot be understood, the test has failed. Contact your remote maintenance center.

15.Press the star key to disconnect from the channel.

16.Hang up the phone.

17.Verify the disconnection by looking at the System Monitor screen. The channel should return to on hook.

NOTE:

If the channel returned to on-hook, the test completed successfully.

18.Test all remaining channels by repeating Steps 3 through 17 until all channels have been tested.

19.Press F6 (Cancel) until you reach the INTUITY Administration menu.

20.Continue with "Assign Services to Called Numbers".

Assign Services to Called Numbers

During installation, the voice channels must be assigned a service. This service tells the voice channels what to do with the incoming call.

The dialed number information service (*DNIS_SVC) provides the information INTUITY needs to correctly answer the incoming call. *DNIS_SVC allows channels to be flexible, so that each channel is able to handle different applications. This makes the system more responsive: if many calls come into the system for one of the applications at the same time, the INTUITY system can answer with as many channels as is needed, up to the maximum number permitted by hardware limitations.

Before *DNIS_SVC can be used, however, *DNIS_SVC itself must be administered. This administration involves identifying the service and the incoming called number that requires the service. The following procedure to assign the services and the called numbers must be performed before the *DNIS_SVC itself is assigned to the channels.

Release 3 specifications

Lucent Technologies Release 3 was a significant milestone in the evolution of telecommunications. Launched in the late 1990s, it represented a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to improve network performance, reliability, and scalability. Aimed primarily at enhancing communication services, Release 3 showcased advanced technologies and features that reshaped the industry landscape.

One of the standout features of Release 3 was its support for both circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. This dual capability allowed service providers to utilize a single platform to provide a variety of services, including traditional voice services and emerging data applications. The integration of these two technologies led to more efficient use of network resources and improved service quality.

Release 3 also emphasized flexibility and modularity. Its architecture was designed to support a range of hardware and software configurations, enabling telecom operators to customize their deployments according to specific business needs. This modular design allowed for easier upgrades and scaling, which was essential as the demand for bandwidth and services continued to grow.

Another key technology featured in Release 3 was its advanced signaling and control capabilities. By implementing protocols like SS7 and integrating them with IP-based communications, Lucent enabled more efficient call routing and management. This capability was critical for managing increasing traffic loads and offering enhanced features like caller ID, call waiting, and other value-added services that were becoming popular at that time.

In addition, Release 3 introduced improved quality of service (QoS) mechanisms, critical for ensuring that voice and data services could coexist on the same network without degradation. This was especially important as the world began to embrace the Internet, leading to a surge in data-intensive applications that needed reliable delivery.

Security was another focus with Release 3, as telecom operators faced growing concerns about fraud and cyber threats. Enhanced encryption methods and secure access controls were built into the system, providing operators with the tools needed to safeguard their networks and customer data.

Overall, Lucent Technologies Release 3 represented a forward-looking approach to telecommunications, combining innovative technology with the flexibility needed in a rapidly changing industry. It laid the groundwork for future advancements in both voice and data communications, helping operators to adapt to the burgeoning digital landscape. As a result, it played a pivotal role in the transition towards more integrated and efficient telecommunication networks.
