Basic Telephone System
A telephone system has four elements: A telephone set to convert sound to electrical signals and back to soundto sound One or more central switching facilities Connections to the central switching facilitiesConnections to the central switching facilitiesConnections among multiple switching centers across telephone networks
Subscribers connect to the telephone network using: Dedicated wire connections in overhead or underground cablesR di ( ll l t llit di t l h )Radio waves (cellular, satellite, or radiotelephone)VoIP

Traditional POTS Services
PSTN or PTT (POTS) has remained practically unchanged for over 100 years offering:
Bi-directional, or full duplex, voice path to carry sound both ways at onceDial tone and ringing signalsDial tone and ringing signalsSubscriber dialingOperator services such as directory assistance long distanceOperator services, such as directory assistance, long distance, and conference calling assistancePower

ISDN and T1 Services
ISDN: A set of standards that allow data and voice to be carried on copper wire from the telephone exchange to customer premises:
BRI: 2 B-channels and 1 D-channel for controlPRI 23 B h l (30 i E ) d 1 D h l f t lPRI: 23 B-channels (30 in Europe) and 1 D-channel for control
T1 Carrier System: Specification for digital transmission b t t l h h d ti di tlbetween telephone exchanges and sometimes directly to customer premises. T1 uses copper wire or fiber.

Intelligent Information Network (IIN)
IIN integrates networked resources and information assets.
IIN extends intelligence across multiple products and infrastructure layers.
IIN actively participates in the delivery of services and applications. (making the network “application aware”)
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
Phases of IIN
Three phases in building an IIN are:Integrate transport (network convergence)
Integrate services (shared resources)
Integrate applications (making the network “application aware”)
