General Platform Enhancements

Redundancy for One-Way Connections

You can set up a one-way connection and maintain it during a matrix switchover. The feature is for physical channels only. It does not apply to virtual channels.

To enable this feature, park the channels and then send the Connection Type TLV (0x0612) in the Connect with Data (0x0005) message. This TLV indicates whether a two-way connection (default) or one-way connection is set up.

Refer to Redundancy for One-Way Connections in Chapter 5, Layer 4 Call Control in the CSP Developer’s Guide: Overview.

Modifying a Connection Path Without Parking Channels

You can change the connection type of an established connection between two channels without having to park the channels during the transition.

Refer to Modifying a Connection Path Without Parking Channels in Chapter 5, Layer 4 Call Control in the CSP Developer’s Guide: Overview.

Change Clock Mode Switched Alarm

This feature improves supportability at Customer sites by providing additional information in the Clock Mode Switched Alarm. When the CSP changes the source used to derive clocking, this alarm will now contain information on which clock source has taken over as well as the previous clock source that was in use.

Refer to the Clock Mode Switched alarm in the Alarm (0x00B9) message in the API Reference.
