The protocol is used to allow the automatic gathering of administrative data (such as trouble reports) from diverse locations within a sending network, using the proprietary administration data language and structure of that network. The gathered data is transported using the transmission principle to a single point of contact at a receiving network and translated into a data structure proprietary to the receiving network and thus presented to the proper system for action within the receiving system.Field of SearchIncluding fault responsive disconnection of tested componentOf switching path Interexchange signalling Signalling path distinct from trunk (e.g., CCIS) D.C. signalling over trunk Pulse or digital signalling Interexchange trunk circuit Glare or simultaneous seizure mitigation Adaptive Converting between protocols Conversion between signaling protocols | |
