Capabilities and Associations
Central to this introduction of capability groups and ASAI in general is the concept
of an
association
. An association is defined as a channel of communication
between the adjunct and the ECS for messaging purposes.
It may be helpful to think of an association as a communication session; each
session could involve information pertaining to many calls.
The previous section regarding types of capabilities showed that all capabilities
act across a channel of communication which
is
an association. Initiating
capabilities begin an association, controlling capabilities manipulate message
exchange during the association, and terminating capabilities end the association.
