Introduction
This Part is directed toward Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD)
Service Providers and manufacturers intending to build equipment
for use in the CDPD internal network. This part does not directly
impact CDPD subscribers or Mobile End System (M-ES) manufacturers.
This Part assumes that the reader is familiar with CDPD in general,
as presented in [IS-732-100].
This Part defines the specific requirements for Directory User
Agents (DUAs) and Directory System Agents (DSAs) to be used in the
CDPD Network to perform Application Entity Title-to-Presentation
Address translation.
This Part enumerates the specific features of DUAs and DSAs that
may be used for this particular application of Directory Services.
General requirements for CDPD DUAs and DSAs are defined in Part
1013.
This specification covers the directory function operating in
the Application Layer, which maps application-titles onto
presentation-addresses.
This function is carried out by use of the Directory if the
information required to accomplish the mapping is not conveniently
available by other means. Use of Application-Entity Look-up
Directory profile is not mandatory but is recommended.
The users are CDPD application-entities and the object classes
of interest are also application-entities or subclasses
thereof.
The main attribute type concerned, other than those for naming,
is the presentation-address. Other attribute types, not viewed as
necessary for the directory function itself, may support verifying
or finding out the application-entity type. or the lists of
supported application contexts, abstract syntaxes, and so on.
