Common channel signaling event detection and control

摘要

A system and method for utilizing a common channel signaling network controlling a communications system to detect predetermined events and to execute a predetermined script upon detection of those events. This is accomplished using the common channel signaling network in conjunction with programmable and addressable monitors coupled to the common channel signaling links connected to the signaling transfer points (STPs). These monitors are programmed to trap and temporarily record predetermined data associated with specific events which it is desired to block or control. The monitors provide an output to a control processor having an SSP capability which is linked to the STPs. The monitors are programmed either through the common channel signaling network or through a monitor port connected to the control processor.
