Abstract:
A translation file containing trunk group, trunk level and other translation data is created on a translation input system in response to a circuit provisioning request. An interface between the translation input system and a trunk inventory system transfers the translation file to a translation file directory on a server. The interface logs into the trunk inventory system to generate a translation document to be used by switch technicians to translate trunk groups. Generic views are used rather than conventional structured views to simplify the generation of the translations document. The generic views also reduce the complexity of the software required to implement the interface.
