| The switching functions of the telephone network have evolved from total manual control to a complex out-of-band control system handled by specialized equipment. One of the significant components of this control system is the Service Control Point (SCP), which provides application database services to the other components. This project is focused on the ongoing development of an alternative to the SCP, called an adjunct processor.; The project described in this report expands the functionality of the DalTech adjunct processor to incorporate the more complex protocols required to support the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) version 0.2. To demonstrate the more complex functions enabled by AIN 0.2 a new demonstration application is developed. Called Adaptive Find Me, this application attempts to find a user by ringing a pre-set sequence of telephones, one at a time until the user answers one of the phones on the list. The calling sequence is then modified based on the results of each attempt, thereby adapting to the current location of the user. |
