The ITSO (Incoming Trunk Service Observing) feature provides the ability
|
||
to perform service observing on incoming 2-wire trunk [per trunk signalling
|
||
or CCIS]. The ITSO feature provides a method to determine how effectively the
|
||
telefone system serves the customer. This assists the telefone co. in
|
||
maintaining network quality.
|
||
|
||
The intent of servince observing is to evaluate the completion performance
|
||
of the office's subtending networks. All calls selected for observation must
|
||
originate from offices of equal or higher rank in the toll heirarchy and must
|
||
terminate in the area served by the toll office. The ESS switch randomly
|
||
selects calls for observation. Only one call can be monitored at any given
|
||
time for the ITSO feature. Equipment malfunctions, network overloads, or other
|
||
problems preventing call completion are detected. The calls are also directly
|
||
monitored for transmission quality. Each service observing position, located in
|
||
the SES (Service Evaluation System) bureau is capable of monitoring calls.
|
||
|
||
The information required by the service observer is provided to the SES
|
||
bureau from the ESS switch via a dedicated data link and a voice monitoring
|
||
channel. A 1200 baud data link is used to transmit call progress data and
|
||
control signals between the ESS switch and the SES bureau. The dedicated
|
||
one-way voice channel is required for monitoring voice transmission. The
|
||
interface is capable of monitoring one call at a time.
|
||
|
||
The SES has complete control over the SES/ESS interface. The observing
|
||
feature is a demand system where the demand originates with the SES. There
|
||
are 5 possible control messages that the SES can send to an ESS switch.
|
||
They are:
|
||
|
||
1. ENABLE- This message is accepted when the interface is in the idle state.
|
||
It directs the ESS switch to obtain the next observable call.
|
||
|
||
2. RELEASE- This message is used to release the present call and return the
|
||
interface to the idle state or to release the present test and return to
|
||
idle state.
|
||
|
||
3. TONE TEST- This message is used ony if the interface is in the idle
|
||
state. It causes a 1-milliwatt tone to be applied to the voice channel.
|
||
|
||
4. TERMINATION TEST- This messages is only accepted if the interface is in
|
||
the idle state. It causes a quiet termination to be applied to the voice
|
||
channel for 30 seconds (unless a RELEASE order is sent).
|
||
|
||
5. DATA ECHO TEST- This message is accepted only if the interface is in the
|
||
idle state. It sends a message to the ESS switch to verify the sanity of
|
||
the data channel. The ESS switch appends a unique 2-character header to
|
||
the received message and outputs the recieved message to the data
|
||
channel.
|
||
|
||
There are 15 potential call progress messages that the ESS switch can
|
||
generate and send to the SES. They are:
|
||
|
||
1. SEIZURE- This message indicates that the ESS switch has found a candidate
|
||
call. If the SES does not recieve this signal within a period of time
|
||
after being enabled, a RELEASE message is transmitted be the SES.
|
||
|
||
2. RELEASE AKNOWLEDE- This message is transmitted whenever the ESS switch
|
||
decodes a RELEASE signal deo the SES. The interface returns to the idle
|
||
state and the SES is allowed to attempt to observe a new call.
|
||
|
||
3. TERMINATION- This message is Xmited when the interface returns to the
|
||
idle state due to an abnormal ending of the call observation in progress,
|
||
or when the tone or termination test times out.
|
||
|
||
4. INCOMING TRUNK DISCONNECT- This message is Xmitted to the SES for every
|
||
calling party on on-hook occurrence.
|
||
|
||
5. ON-HOOK- This message is Xmitted to the SES for every called party
|
||
on-hook occurrence.
|
||
|
||
6. OFF-HOOK- This message is xmitted to the SES for every called party
|
||
off-hook occurrence.
|
||
|
||
7. EMERGENCY- This message indicates an emergency announcement is being
|
||
applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
8. 60 IPM- This call progress message indicates that the busy tone is being
|
||
applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
9. 120 IPM- This call progess message indicates that recoreder tone is being
|
||
applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
10. NO CIRCUIT AVAILABLE- This call progress message indicates that a no
|
||
circuit available is being applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
11. VACANT CODE ANNOUNCEMENT- This message indicates that a vacant code
|
||
announcement is being applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
12. RECORDER- This message indicates that a recorder announcement is being
|
||
applied to the calling party.
|
||
|
||
13. AUDIBLE RING- This message indicates that audible ringing is being
|
||
applied to the calling party. In the case of a locally terminating call,
|
||
the observer is not bridged onto the call until after answer and is
|
||
therefore unable to detect the actual audible ringing.
|
||
|
||
14. CALLED NUMBER DIGITS- This message contains the called number of digits.
|
||
|
||
15. DATA ECHO TEST- This contains the DATA ECHO TEST message.
|
||
{
|
||
The 4 states of SES/ESS interface are as follows:
|
||
|
||
o Idle- This is the wait state of the interface. It is the stae to
|
||
which the interface returns after tests and completing observations.
|
||
|
||
o Active- This state is entered only when the ESS switch recieves an
|
||
ENABLE message frm the SES. Service observing is performed in this
|
||
state. This state is maintained for no moe than 3 minutes (2-wire
|
||
trunks) after seizure.
|
||
|
||
o Tone Test- This can only be entered from the idle state upon receipt
|
||
of a tone test order. In this state, a 1- milliwatt tone is applied
|
||
to the voice channel. The interface returns to the idle state upon
|
||
the RELEASE message or after a 30 second test.
|
||
|
||
o Termination Test- This state can only be entered from the idle state
|
||
upon the TERM. TEST message. In this state a quiet term. is applied
|
||
to the voice channel. The interface returns to the idle state upon
|
||
the RELEASE or after 30 secs.
|
||
|
||
Action to establish an observation is initiated when the SES send an
|
||
ENABLE message to the ESS switch. This message triggers the switch to begin
|
||
looking for an observable call. When the switch has found a call, the
|
||
SEIZURE and CALLED NUMBER DIGITS messages are transmitted to the SES.
|
||
|
||
From this point on, the SES observes the progress of the call using the
|
||
progress messages.
