Abstract

See full text

A method to control feature interaction and ensure compatibility among disparate service features, resources and terminals of a communications network is provided. Resource devices and terminals access a compatibility message bus via interface agent modules when originating requests or events. The message bus, which could be, for example, an Ethernet link of any length, is accessible to all devices and to one or more compatibility controllers in the computing platform of a PBX or switching office, or in a general computing platform separate from the switch or PBX. A temporary compatibility control module is then constituted, which processes requests and events, by retrieving processing rules stored in a data base to ensure provision of invoked service features in a controlled manner.
