About This Manual

The AG CAS for Natural Call Control Installation and Developer's Manual describes how to install and run NMS Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) protocol software with the NCC service. The manual also describes how to build CAS protocol call control applications using the CT Access application programming interface, and NCC service call control functions.
AG CAS protocols include: Analog Loop Start Australian P2 Digital Ground Start European Digital CAS Feature Group D MF-Socotel Multi-Frequency Compelled R2 Off-Premises Station Operator Work Station Pulsed E & M Signaling System 5 System R1.5 Wink Start
This manual is targeted to developers of telephony and voice applications who are using CT Access. This document defines telephony terms where applicable, but assumes that the reader is familiar with telephony concepts and switching. It also assumes that the user is familiar with the C programming language. Note: The Natural Call Control (NCC) service API is the new standard call control API for NMS products. The NCC service provides an extended and enhanced version of the call control portion of the ADI service API. If your application currently uses the ADI service for call control, consider migrating to the NCC service for better performance, new features, and more control over your application's call control functionality.
Refer to the Natural Call Control Service Developer's Reference Manual for further information.
This manual is organized as follows: For... See...
