Snpp Interface - Nortel Meridian Meridian 1 Installation Manual

The MS supports two standard interfaces for connecting to external systems:
Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) over a serial link and Simple
Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) over IP.
The MS contains a user database and a web-based administration tool.
Predefined groups of DECT handsets can be set up in the server database or,
alternatively, the external application can control messages to groups of
handsets.
Functionality
The Messaging Server provides the following functionality:
• the ability to send messages to a DECT handset from a standard web
browser
• connection from external paging systems into the DECT system using
standard protocols and interfaces. It supports both hard-wired serial
connections and dial-up over modems.
• handset-to-handset messaging
• connection over the IP network to the DECT system
• standard interfaces to allow external applications to be built
• web management of subscriber information and configuration data
• an audit trail of all messages and responses kept by the system. These can
be time-stamped to allow administrators to see what has happened at
particular times, and to allow statistics to be generated.
External systems can be connected using TAP and SNPP protocols.
Note: Since the text messages system is independent of the voice
system, this means that voice call re-direction, such as Call Forward,
does not apply to text messages. If Call Forward is implemented, the text
messages are not forwarded. They are still received at the handset.

SNPP interface

The SNPP interface allows the MS to communicate with external systems that
use the access protocol over TCP/IP. See "SNPP" on page 11.
