1.0 Introduction
1.1 McIAS 1610 Overview
Depending on the type of Single Board Computer (SBC) installed, the McIAS 1610
can be configured as either a McIAS 1610/68 or McIAS 1610/IP. References to the
McIAS 1610 in this manual apply to both configurations, unless otherwise specified.
See Section 1.3.1 for descriptions of the SBC boards available.
McIAS 1610 is a powerful general purpose computing platform designed for voice
processing applications. A single McIAS 1610 provides up to 24 analog, 72 T1 (DS0)
digital or 90 E1 digital voice ports. At the factory, several standard announcements
and music are installed. Custom announcements are easily recorded using a standard
TouchTone telephone and are saved to the high capacity hard disk drive.
McIAS 1610 is an Open Architecture platform which can be tailored to suit a
customer's specific requirements. The McIAS 1610/68 allows the installation of one
McIAS AppSOFT application software module; the McIAS 1610/IP allows the
installation of multiple AppSOFT application software modules. Refer to Section 1.3.1
for SBC board descriptions. Installation of the Expanded Announcement Software
Module (EASM) application enables the McIAS 1610 to provide voiced
announcements for CLASS services, automatic number announcements (ANA),
Changed Number Intercept (CNI) services and Simplified Message Desk Interface
(SMDI) announcements.
