  • Channel associated signalling (CAS) compatible telecommunications node and software platform therefor
    Patent number: 6434229
    Abstract: A Channel Associated Signalling (CAS) compatible telecommunications node, comprises an operating program in which CAS signalling information is separated from functional behaviour information which defines the behaviour of the node. Therefore, adjustment of the operation of the node can be achieved through datafill. The CAS signalling information and the functional behaviour information are stored in mapped look-up tables in which specific signalling information is mapped to corresponding node behaviour information.
