Abstract
An automated telecommunication switch type and protocol detection routine transmits an interrogation message to a telecommunication switch. The contents of the interrogation message are such as to cause the switch to transmit a response message that uniquely identifies only one switch protocol and switch type. Once switch type and protocol have been automatically determined, this information may be coupled with an automated service profile identifier (SPID) detection mechanism to facilitate generation of the requisite SPID(s).
