Self-Test
1. One of the major advances that result from implementing intelligent networks is that ______________.
a. computers no longer have control over the network
b. wide-area service outages are much less likely
c. services can be adapted to user needs more efficiently
d. service providers are now limited to a single equipment provider
2. At each trigger detection point (TDP), the AIN component that checks for active triggers is the ______________.
a. SSP
b. SCP
c. STP
d. PCP
3. There are three types of triggers ______________.
a. subscribed, group-based, trunk
b. subscribed, trunk, office-based
c. subscribed, group-based, office-based
d. trunk, group-based, office-based
4. A service control point (SCP) is ______________.
a. a switch that is controlled by the intelligent network
b. a database for various IN services
c. a series of triggers that initiate controller actions
d. an instance in time at which the network selects a service to initiate
5. The development of the intelligent network places increased emphasis on a consistent _________________.
a. switch model
b. network model
c. intelligence model
d. call model
6. To say that a network is intelligent means that it is __________________.
a. able to make decisions on its own
b. controlled by software on distributed computers
c. able to bridge the gap between user and supplier needs
d. controlled by microchips that are easily interchanged
7. Trigger check point (TCP) is a more recent term for trigger detection point.
a. true
b. false
8. When a switching system checks for overload conditions before communicating with the SCP, the process is called "trigger delay."
a. true
b. false
9. The distinction between the originating side and the terminating side of a service switching point (SSP) means that both originating and terminating triggers could influence the same call.
a. true
b. false
10. The major functions of the service switching point (SSP) are to provide network access, perform necessary switching, and allow access to AIN capabilities.
a. true
b. false
11. The call model is a generic representation of the call-processing activities necessary to establish, maintain, and clear a basic call.
a. true
b. false
12. The building-block approach to creating AIN services is based on the AIN's ability to add groups or blocks of users to the network without interruption of service.
a. true
b. false
