GENERAL REGULATIONS
1.1.
Custom Calling Service consists of features which provide special kinds of
customer-controlled communications features on individual service lines. Custom
Calling Service is available only through central offices which, at the Company's
option, are appropriately equipped. Operating specifics may vary by central office
equipment type.
1. 2.
Custom Local Area Signaling Services (CLASS) is a group of capabilities that use
industry-standard protocols to effectively manage call flow. This is accomplished by
the central office deployment of a technology which routes the calling party’s
telephone number from the central office originating the call to the terminating
central office serving the called party. That telephone number is held in network
memory giving the called party options, including answering the call and calling
back to the originator. CLASS can be provided on a stand done basis or as an
enhancement to existing custom calling features to residential and business
customers in central office switches having the generic capability to offer CLASS,
The CCS7 signaling standard is used to extend CLASS services across multiple
nodes.

telephone number to a toll location, with the called party receiving billing for the
call.
2.7.

Telemarketer Do Not Disturb - When activated, callers are informed that the TDND
subscriber does not want to receive telemarketing calls. When the calling party
attempts to call a line with TDND, the caller receives a recorded announcement
indicating that non-telemarketing callers must dial the digit "1" to complete the call.
Once the “1” is dialed, the call is completed. If any other digit is entered the calling
party receives a busy tone.

Distinctive Ringing - Call Waiting - This is an incoming call management feature
that provides special treatment for calls received from special telephone numbers.
When a call is received from one of the predetermined telephone numbers, the
customer is alerted with a distinctive ringing pattern. Calls from telephone numbers
not included on the screening list will produce a normal ringing pattern. If the
customer also subscribes to Call Waiting and a call is received from a telephone
number on the screening list while the line is in use, the Call Waiting tone will be
distinctive. Calls from directory numbers not included in the screening list will
produce a normal call waiting tone. Maximum of 31 screened numbers.
2.16.
Call Number Delivery (CND) - This is a feature that enables the customer to receive
the calling directory number on incoming calls. The calling number will be delivered
to the called party’s customer premise equipment. When CND is activated on a
customer’s line, the directory number of an incoming call will be sent to the display
of the customer premises equipment during the first long silent interval of the
ringing.
2.17.
Calling Name and Number Delivery (CNND) -This is a feature that enables the
customer to receive the calling directory name and number on incoming calls. The
calling name and number will be delivered to the called party’s customer premise
equipment. When CNND is activated on a customer’s line, the directory name and
number of an incoming call will be sent to the display of the customer premises
equipment during the first long silent interval of the ringing.
2.18.
Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR) – When activated, incoming calls are examined to
determine whether presentation of the calling party’s directory number is allowed or
restricted. If presentation is allowed or if the presentation status is unavailable, the
call is completed to the ACR subscriber. If presentation is restricted, the incoming
call is routed to the ACR denial recorded announcement or tone. The ACR
subscriber does not receive alerting tones for incoming calls that are rejected.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1
Advanced Digital Services is a public network-based set of communications services
that make it possible to send, receive, and modify information using regular
telephone lines. These services are based on the National Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) standards. ISDN provides end-to-end digital communications and
gives the ability to transmit data and voice over the same telephone line
simultaneously ( a user can send information from a personal computer and talk to
the person on the other end of the line at the same the). This functionality is provided
via channelized transport facilities. The ISDN architecture consists of digital central
office switching systems which connect Basic Rate Interface (BRI) lines to
customers' premises.
1.2.
Advanced Digital Services BRI is an optional service arrangement that can be used
in conjunction with a customer's residential service, individual business line or
Centrex service. It uses the ISDN architecture to provide the customer with the
capability to transmit voice and data simultaneously over the same digital line. Under
various optional arrangements, BRI provides the customer with access to CircuitSwitched Voice Services and Circuit-Switched Data Services.
1.3
An Advanced Digital Services BRI arrangement obtains its capabilities from an
ISDN-capable, Telephone Company central office switch. The BRI ISDN
arrangement provides two communications channels (but using only one physical
line) between a telephone (or computer, fax machine or other equipment) and the
digital central office. These channels are called Bearer, or B Channels. Another
channel, called the Delta, or the D channel, is used for signaling purposes. The
complete BRI ISDN line is known as 2B+D.

All Advanced Digital Services lines consist of central office facilities (including
outside plant facilities) extended from the Company's switching equipment to the
customer's demarcation point.
1.5.
Directory Numbers - On a given 2+D Advanced Digital Services line, calls are
routed to the appropriate terminal device (voice telephone or computer/data terminal)
based on the directory number and the type of call {voice or data) presented to the
Advanced Digital Services line.
1.5.1. Primary Directory Number - Each Advanced Digital Services Line includes a
single primary telephone directory number, which may originate or receive
calls.
1.5.2. Secondary Directory Numbers - An Advanced Digital Services line may
have additional telephone directory numbers. The additional telephone
number(s) may originate or receive calls independent of the user’s Primary
Directory Number; however, each B channel is allowed only one
simultaneous circuit connection at a time.

CIRCUIT SWITCHING SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS
Circuit Switching is a switching arrangement in which an entire circuit or, in a digital switch
equipped for ISDN, a specific selection of channels is dedicated to a given call.
Circuit-Switched Service provides the ability to originate and receive circuit-switched voice
and/or data calls over a 64 kbps B Channel, The customer may choose among the following
Circuit-Switched features based upon application needs:
Issued:
2.1
Clear Channel Capability - A characteristic of the transmission paths on the B
Channels that allows the fill bandwidth of 64 kbps to be available to the customer.
Using appropriate terminals or terminal adapters, it is also possible to bridge two B
Channels together to achieve data transmission speeds of 128 kbps. However, ISDN
interconnection to or through non-ISDN equipped central offices will potentially be
subjected to analog transmission or sub-rated to 56 kbps per channel.
2.2.
Additional Call Offering - This feature allows the user to be notified of additional
call when the telephone set is busy. Similar to conventional Call Waiting, multiple
incoming calls to a directory number or secondary telephone number (if purchased)
can be terminated to the telephone.
2.3.
Multiline Hunt Service - This feature allows incoming calls to a busy directory
number to search though a predetermined list of directory numbers. This may be an
Advanced Digital Services directory number on a different BRI or (for voice calls)
an analog he. The hunting arrangement may be series completion, linear, uniform
distribution, or circular.
2.4.
Directed Call Pick-Up - This feature allows the user to dial a special code plus an
extension number to answer calls directed to other stations.
