Abstract

A microprocessor implementation of the control of customer premises telecommunication equipment is presented. The system architecture is described and the processes run under real time control of the microprocessor are outlined. The principles used in the software engineering of the microprocessor code are highlighted and the software and hardware utilities employed in the system design and debugging are explained. The use of a top down approach to this coding application reaped great rewards in terms of an efficient design effort. Maintenance considerations, a key concept in real time telecommunications applications are summarized.
