The applications control the actions of the MPS. They contain program instructions
that tell the MPS how to perform functions, such as receiving caller input, providing
voice output, and accessing the host. MPS applications are created using PeriProducer,
which is a GUI-type editor that allows visual sequencing of application instructions.
(See the PeriProducer User’s Guide.)
Applications are directly associated with a specific MPS telephone line, or set of
telephone lines. When a phone line is called, the application associated with that
phone line activates and interacts with the caller and host based on the programmed
instructions.
The application uses the Avaya VTCPD interface to provide the host with a
communication format that matches the host’s requirements. Read and write
operations are performed between the application and the host, based on the
characteristics of that particular host communications protocol.
A protocol is a standardized format for data transmitted between computer systems,
which consists of command codes, data fields, and delimiters. that both computers can
recognize. To send and receive data to/from a host using Avaya VTCPD, applications
must be designed to format and decode messages according the protocol expected by
the host.
An application with a Avaya VTCPD interface can communicate with several hosts,
provided the hosts are using the same protocol. Applications can change the host
session (switching from one host to the other) as needed.
