The goal of this specification is to extend the capabilities and utility of the CompactPCI
6U based system architecture to support the application needs of the Computer
Telephony (CT) industry, by providing CompactPCI system vendors and CT board
vendors with specifications that will promote multi-vendor interoperability and support
the design of open, standards based components and systems. These goals include
provisions for intra-system isochronous (TDM) media transport, common telephony
I/O definition, reliable hot swap of CT Front Boards and peripherals, as well as agencyaware safety recommendations.
