Increment ID:   I02A1730
Date created:   April 7, 2000
CSR number:     ________

Title: Improve UE9000 Calling and Robustness and HK POTS support


Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------
The target platform for this ISD is the software on the UE9000 TDM
circuit pack.

The first part of this ISD improves disconnect time on the UE9000 POTS
24 multi-circuit line cards. Without this ISD and with the wrong
settings at the DMS-100, it may take up to 2 seconds to disconnect a
phone call. This ISD makes the disconnect immediate.

The second part of this ISD removes a defect in the TDM login tool. This
tool is used by design to gather data from field systems. It was
determined that the tool had a defect that could cause the TDM to fail
and not switch activity. This ISD fixes both the defect in the TDM login
tool and adds robustness to the TDM activity switches.

The final part of this ISD makes the TDM support the Hong Kong line
card. It now recognizes and initializes the Hong Kong line card
appropriately.
