Technical details
[edit]The Hicom 300 uses an x86 processor architecture (originally the 16-bit 286) and runs a version of Intel's iRMX real-time operating system. The hardware is based upon a Siemens MTS (memory-time-switch) ASIC for the audio path. Each line card typically has its own CPU and firmware, called "loadware" as it is loaded from the main processor and does not reside on the line card. Signaling between the line cards and the switching unit (SWU) is done via HDLC.
The majority of the code is written in CHILL. For advanced call distribution and record keeping functions the Hicom can run UNIX (32-bit) on top of the iRMX executive and in parallel with the 16-bit telephony software. Administration is done via AMOs (loaded overlays that share a VERB-NOUN command structure) although there are other (considered more "user friendly" administration interfaces) that were added later. 73.49.1.112 (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
