Abstract
An improved interface is provided for transmitting data messages between a telephone switching system and an adjunct processor. The interface hardware includes multiple connectors for connecting the interface to the telephone switching system and a single connector for connecting the interface to an adjunct processor. The interface software provides multiple transmission links for processing and transmitting the data messages between the telephone switching system and the adjunct processor. The multiple links provided by the interface of the present invention result in a system with improved performance and reliability.
Claims21
An interface for transmitting data messages between a telephone switching system and an adjunct processor and for translating said data messages between data message protocols, said interface comprising:
- a hardware component including;
- first and second connectors for connecting the interface to the telephone switching system, and
- a third connector for connecting the interface to the adjunct processor, and
- a software component including at least two data transmission links between the telephone switching system and the adjunct processor.
An interfacing method for processing data between a telephone switching system and an adjunct processor and for translating data message protocol comprising the steps of:
- providing interface hardware including first and second connectors for connecting the interface to the telephone switching system and a third connector for connecting the interface to the adjunct processor;
- and
- transmitting the data messages between the telephone switching system and the adjunct processor using at least two transmission links.
A method of improving the performance and reliability of translating data messages between data message protocols and transmitting data messages between a telephone switching system and an adjunct processor comprising the steps of:
- providing an interface, wherein the hardware of said interface includes at least a first and second connectors for connecting the interface to the telephone switching system and a third connector for connecting the interface to the adjunct processor;
