Learning Objectives After completing this module you will be able to: • Discuss the basic operations of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) • Define the telephony switching hierarchy • Describe the signaling required to complete a typical telephone call through the PSTN • Describe how the SS7 network is overlayed onto the PSTN
What Is A Network ? Switching Office Switching Office CPE CPE Transmission Facilities
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) • Major Components of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN): • Switching Offices • Transmission facilities • Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)
Switching Offices SWITCHING OFFICE CONTROL NETWORK
Transmission Facilities Switching Office Switching Office Trunks Line Line Special Service Circuit
Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) is the term used to identify any piece of equipment supplied by the customer to interface with the PSTN. Examples include: • Single Line Telephone Set • Modems or Data Sets • Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
Traffic Networks • The Public Switched Telephone Network: • Pre-divestiture • Post-divestiture

Signaling Signaling is the generation, transmission, and reception of information needed to direct and control the setup and disconnect of a call.
