Page 14 of 44 Description and features
The Circuit Switching Manager evolved from Meridian 1 software. This migration strategy enables Telephony Feature Processing for future releases of CS 1000S to control existing Meridian 1 hardware components. In this way, the investment in existing equipment is preserved while new capabilities are added at a managed pace.
