SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 33 • CS interface configuration
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of interfaces in the CS context and describes the tasks involved in their con-
figuration. Within the CS context, an interface is a logical entity providing call signaling for incoming and out-
going calls to and from telephony ports and voice over IP gateways. It represents logical connections to other
equipment or networks. CS interfaces are used as source and destination in the call router and are bound to
physical ports or logical gateways.
Interface names can be any arbitrary string with a maximum of 25 characters. For ease of identification, the
interface type can be a part of the name. Figure 52 illustrates the function of the CS interfaces. The types of CS
interfaces are:
• PSTN interfaces telephony. Binding is done from a port to an interface.
• VoIP interface provide voice over IP settings in addition to the general CS interface parameters. These inter-
faces must be explicitly bound to an existing VoIP gateway.

Interfaces can use mapping tables and precall service tables to manipulate call properties before the call is being
offered to the call router.
CS interface configuration task list
Several parameters depend upon the interface type. If it is not specifically stated otherwise, the configuration
task is valid for all interfaces. This is not described in this chapter, but in chapter 42, “Tone configuration” on
