Adjunct Switch Application Interface

(ASAI)

See ‘‘Adjunct Switch Application Interface (ASAI)’’ on page 54.

DAPI

DEFINITY application programming inteface (DAPI) is an object-oriented

application programming interface (API) for accessing control and data paths

within Communication Manager. It enables applications to easily monitor events,

inject stimuli, and access switch data using a high-speed LAN connection.

DAPI allows development of enhanced debugging tools for services engineers,

field support, and software developers. DAPI is for internal use only, meaning that

any applications created using DAPI are limited for use by Avaya personnel only.
