Features & Benefits
Graphical User Interface
WebCSA is a new SwitchKit OA&M component. WebCSA
is a cross-platform, web-based Graphical User Graphical User Interface
(GUI) that offers different user authentication levels, extensibility,
and customizable views through XML. WebCSA is currently available
for the 1010, but will be offered on the 2090 in the future.

Full Functionality
SwitchKit supports all the same features, resources,
and protocols as the hexadecimal API, but uses C Structures and
C++ classes. So you never need to add system-level code for your
application to operate with the Excel platform. Developers using
SwitchKit can develop all types of telecommunications applications
and interface
with many protocols over many types of network.
Reliability
SwitchKit maintains component-level redundancy (either
N+1 or 1+1) through its Converged Services Administrator (CSA) and
Low Level Communications (LLC). When deployed on redundant or fault-tolerant
host computers, LLC and SwitchManager can operate in hot standby
mode.
Modularity
SwitchKit is designed with distinct modules, so you
can expand and upgrade the system incrementally, and separately
from applications.
Computer Platform Independence
You can deploy SwitchKit on PCs, workstations, and
servers. You select the processing power, memory, and other resources
you need to assure the required level of performance.
Open Service Environment
SwitchKit is an open service environment, allowing
multiple applications to co-operate on the same host computer without
host-level integration. And SwitchKit relieves developers of integration
programming, because it performs the logic that distributes messages
among applications.
Open Programmability
SwitchKit is supported on various computing platforms,
and allows developers to implement applications using either C or
C++ industry standard programming languages. SwitchKit operates
separately from the switch resources and the applications, so that
upgrades, modifications and customizations to one of the resources
can be implemented independently, without affecting the other components
and without redesign.
