Abstract:
A software product for controlling a tandem communications system, the software product comprising:call processing software operational when executed by a processor to direct the processor to receive signaling information associated with an incoming DS0, process the signaling information to select an identifier and a connection for an outgoing DS0, wherein the identifier is for asynchronous communication within the tandem communications system between the incoming DS0 and the outgoing DS0, and transfer control information identifying the incoming DS0, the selected identifier, and the selected connection;a control interface operational when executed by an asynchronous interworking system to direct the asynchronous interworking system to receive the control information and identify the incoming DS0, the selected identifier, and the selected connection to asynchronous adaption layer logic in the asynchronous interworking system; anda software storage system storing the call processing software and the control interface.
