TA NWT 001298 : ISSUE 2

Contains Bellcore's preliminary view of proposed generic requirements for an AIN 0.2 Switching System, which is a switching system supporting Service Switching Point (SSP) functionality. The SSP functionality enables the switch to recognize calls requiring AIN 0.2 service logic involvement and to initiate a dialogue with a Service Control Point (SCP) or Adjunct in which the requested service resides. An AIN 0.2 SSP can serve as an End Office (EO), Access Tandem (AT), or EO/AT. It also contains Bellcore's preliminary view of proposed generic requirements for operations functions in SSPs, including a definition of the information to be exchanged on operations functions in SSPs, including a definition of the information to be exchanged on operations interfaces to the SSP.
