2.38.3 SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface) AA/VM Signaling
Description
The system may employ SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface) protocol to communicate
with an adjunct AA/VM system. When a call is routed to an AA/VM SLT port, the system will send
SMDI messages over the assigned SMDI RS-232 port, informing the AA/VM of the
characteristics of the call.
SMDI Protocol
There are three types of SMDI messages. Within each message is an ―Action Code‖, which
defines the function or required action of the AA/VM system. Fields within the messages also
define the called/calling station and station status. The various message types and definition of
the fields are shown in the chart below.
Type I message
cr lf MD ggg mmmm a xxxxxxxxx sp yyyyyyyyy sp cr lf^Y
Type II message
