Service messages provide near-end and far-end switch status. Both service and service
acknowledge messages are supported on PRI B-channels and ISL
channels.

• System to system: ISL and PRI
• System to DMS-100: PRI only
• System to DMS-250: PRI only
• System to AT&T ESS4 and ESS5: PRI only
Service and service acknowledge messages for B-channels and ISL channels report the
following status types:
• in-service
• maintenance
• out-of-service
Near-end and far-end sub-categories are defined for each maintenance status. See
Table 58:
Maintenance message and status combinations on page 124
for possible combinations of
near-end and far-end status and the channel capability for each status. When near-end and
far-end status do not match, the more severe maintenance status takes effect.
