1. How to Use This Guide

This guide is for users who use the Global Call application programming interface (API), the Global Call Protocol Development Kit Run Time (PDKRT) call control library, or the Global Call Interface Control API (ICAPI) call control library and related software to develop Linux or Windows applications in an E-1 channel associated signaling (CAS) or T-1 robbed bit environment.

Complete reference information and programming guidelines for the Global Call API are given in the companion documents, Global Call API Library Reference and Global Call API Programming Guide. Certain Global Call functions have additional functionality or perform differently when used in an E-1 CAS or T-1 robbed bit environment. The general function descriptions in the Global Call API Library Reference do not contain detailed information on a particular technology. Detailed information in terms of the additional functionality or the difference in performance of those functions in an E-1 CAS or T-1 robbed bit environment is contained in this Global Call E-1/T-1 CAS/R2 Technology User's Guide.

NOTE:

Differences between the implementation of a Global Call application in a Linux or a Windows environment are either described parenthetically or are presented in separate paragraphs or sections. Information that is specific to the use of DM3 or Springware boards is identified explicitly. Information that is specific to the use of the PDKRT or ICAPI call control library is identified explicitly. Information about PDK protocols is applicable to DM3 and Springware boards unless otherwise noted. Information about ICAPI protocols is applicable to Springware boards only.
