Distributed Control Network

Distributed Control Network
Description
In the Distributed Control Network, each iPECS system maintains control over the devices registered to it. The networked systems communicate allowing other networked systems access to resources over the network. In addition, other features and functions as detailed in the following sections of this manual are available to users in a distributed network environment. The iPECS permits remote access to various resources through registered gateway Modules and terminals.
In addition, iPECS will request access to resources of remote systems. The user-dialed number is analyzed and the call routed according to the Net numbering table. Should the main path fail to respond, the iPECS routes the call employing the alternative Speed Dial route assigned.
iPECS supports two (2) standard protocols, QSIG over ISDN and H.450 over IP, for the basic networking functions and the proprietary iPECS protocol for the advanced networking features. QSIG employs ISDN PRI channels only with support for ESTI standards ETS 300- 237/238/256/257/260/261/361/362/363/364.
