Versatility in translating ¿ Broadband switching system

The translator provides ¿pre-translation¿ to determine the type of call and number of digits to be anticipated. Originating lines are checked for bandwidth rating, class-of-service, and AN (abbreviated-number) calling group identity. The register-sender is furnished a reconstructed directory number on AN calls. Routing translations take into account requested bandwidth, class-of-service, and trunk group alternate routing. On terminating calls, the called station is checked for bandwidth rating, and translator marks called line to terminating marker.
