capability
A request or indication of an operation. For example, Third Party Make Call is a request for setting
up a call; event report is an indication that an event has occurred.
capability group
Set of capabilities, determined by switch administration, that can be requested by an application.
Capability groups denote association types. For example, Call Control is a type of association that
allows certain functions (the ones in the capability group) to be performed over this type of
association. Also referred to as administration groups or application service elements (ASEs).
CA-TSC

cause value
A value is returned in response to requests or in event reports when a denial or unexpected condition
occurs. ASAI cause values fall into two coding standards: Coding Standard 0 includes any cause
values that are part of AT&T and CCITT ISDN specifications; Coding standard 3 includes any other
ASAI cause values. This document uses a notation for cause value where the coding standard for the
cause is given first, then a slash, then the cause value. Example: CS0/100 is coding standard 0, cause
value 100.
CBC
Call-by-call or coupled bonding conductor
CC
Country code
CCIS
Common-Channel Interoffice Signaling
CCITT
CCITT (Comitte Consultatif International Telephonique et Telegraphique), now called International
Telecommunications Union (ITU). See
CCMS
Control-Channel Message Set

CCS
See capability.
CCS or hundred call seconds
A unit of call traffic. Call traffic for a facility is scanned every 100 seconds. If the facility is busy, it is
assumed to have been busy for the entire scan interval. There are 3600 seconds per hour. The Roman
numeral for 100 is the capital letter C. The abbreviation for call seconds is CS. Therefore, 100 call
seconds is abbreviated CCS. If a facility is busy for an entire hour, then it is said to have been busy for
36 CCS. See also Erlang.
