The Cisco VCO/4K Standard Programming Reference describes how to design applications for the Cisco Systems VCO/4K open programmable switch in standard operational mode by configuring the associated commands and reports.
This guide is intended for all personnel designing applications for the VCO/4K switch. You should be familiar with the components of the switch as well as the system administrator master console. The master console is your access to the system administration functions.
This publication is organized as follows:
"Switch Overview," provides an overview of the VCO/4K switch.
"Inpulse and Outpulse Rules," provides a summary of inpulse and outpulse rules, focusing on the interaction between the rules and the system extended operational mode command and report set.
"Message Structure Overview," provides an overview of the system message structure. Data between the system and the host computer is passed over one or more communications links. Regardless of the protocol chosen by the application designer, the structure of the message data transferred over the links remains the same.
"System Commands," describes the extended operational mode system commands, which allow the host application program to control many configuration parameters and resources. These commands fall into five categories: configuration control, system status, system diagnostics, system maintenance, and resource control.
"System Reports," describes the extended operational mode system reports, which communicate the operating and call processing status of the system to the host. These reports fall into three categories: configuration control, system status, and resource control.
"DTMF/MF Frequencies," lists the frequencies and hexadecimal values used for DTMF and MF inpulsing and outpulsing.
"Decimal/Hexadecimal/Binary Conversion," provides reference tables to simplify the conversions required to construct and interpret extended mode system commands and reports.
"System Digitized Voice Card Prompts," lists the prompts available in Version 1.08 of the Digitized Voice Card (DVC) voice prompts diskette.
"Network Status Byte Definitions," defines the network status bytes encountered during the operation of the VCO/4K switch.
"Tone Values," lists the system tones and their corresponding decimal and hexadecimal values, and port addresses, for use with inpulse rules.
"Call Processing States," describes the system internal processing, which uses a simple state machine representation to track the current condition of all resources in the system—Major States (MStates) and Supplementary States (SStates).
"Integrated Prompt and Record Card Prompt Library," lists IPRC prompt numbers, in both decimal (for use in inpulse rules) and hexadecimal (for use in commands), and their corresponding messages.
This guide provides the following consistent visual clues to identify text and important descriptions:
 |
Note Means reader take note. Notes contain helpful suggestions or references to material not covered in the manual. |
 |
Tip Means the following information will help you solve a problem. The tips information might not be troubleshooting or even an action, but could be useful. |
 |
Caution Means reader be careful. In this situation, you might do something that could result in equipment damage or loss of data. |
 |
Warning Means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, you must be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. To see translated versions of the warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety document that accompanied the device. |
