Ìignaling Data
m s users of the PÌTN (Public Ìwitched
Telephone Network), we e change signalling
with network elements all the time.
m p amples of signalling between a telephone
user and the telephone network include : dialling
digits, providing dial tone, accessing a voice
mailbo , sending a call-waiting tone, dialling *66
(to retry a busy number), «

m Faster call setup
m No interference between signaling tones by
network and frequency of human speech
pattern.
m Greater Trunking pfficiency:- CCÌ has
shorter call set up and tear down times that
result in less call holding time, thereby
reducing the traffic on the network.
m It allows for signaling at any time in the entire
duration of call, not only at the beginning.
m CCITT developed a digital signaling standard
called Ìignaling Ìystem 6
m ÌÌ6 was based on Packet-Ìwitched,
proprietary data network.
+ses 2.4 Kbps data links to send packets of data to
distant switches to request service.
m ÌÌ began deployment in 1983, was initially
used for inter office network, but now it is
deployed in local central offices.
m Provide a global standard for call setup,
routing, control and database access.
m Definition
m Ìignaling Ìystem # (ÌÌ ) is a set of telephony signaling
protocols which are used to set up the vast majority of the
world's PÌTN (Public Ìwitched Telephone Network)
telephone calls.
