Tandem Switching. The Tandem Switching Network Element provides the switching function needed to establish a temporary transmission path between two other switching offices. It includes the facilities connecting the trunk distribution frames to the tandem switch, and all the functions of the tandem switch itself, including those facilities that establish a temporary transmission path between two other switches. It also includes functions that are centralized in the tandem, such as any call recording which is or becomes available in the tandem switch, and, in certain cases, routing of calls to tandem signaling conversion functions (e.g., MF to SS7) used in the XXXX ATLANTIC network. Tandem switch call recording functions and capabilities are different from end office switch call recording functions and capabilities.
