    摘要: The present invention is a universal host-to-switch application program interface (API) utilizing a generic message format for performing call control processing and capable of being customized to meet telecommunications application and network signalling protocol requirements. The generic message formats have programmable fields for transmitting commands, status, and data between the host application and the switch. The present invention further comprises a programmable telecommunication switch that provides a user with the ability to define a desired signalling protocol, either "standard" or custom in nature, for performing any desired switching functions. The present invention includes a protocol development environment which enables a user to define a separate finite state machine for each port provided by the switch. Each finite state machine may be independently defined by combining a series of elementary processing steps, called atomic functions, into primitives, which are in turn combined with states and events to define the desired state machine. Such state machines may include atomic functions configured to generate predetermined messages under predetermined conditions and containing predetermined information. Such state machines may further include the ability to respond to state events that include the receipt of generic API messages configured to provide the state machine with information from the host application.

    摘要: A universal switch, comprising a plurality of terminals and a plurality of interconnected independently switchable switches coupled to the terminals, where the plurality of interconnected switches are configurable to connect any subset of the terminals to any other subset of the terminals, and optionally, to disconnect all the terminals. One implementation includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a plurality of interconnected switches coupled to the terminals. The plurality of interconnected switches are configurable to implement a variety of interconnections between the terminals, including: the first terminal connected only to the second terminal, the first terminal connected only to the third terminal, the second terminal connected only to the third terminal, the first terminal connected to the second terminal and the third terminal, and optionally, all three terminals disconnected.
