US NI Calling Name for Outgoing Calls?
Bellcore National ISDN Calling Name
 Supplementary Service for PRI
nProvides the user with the capability on incoming calls, to receive Network 
provided Calling Name information, along with name presentation 
indication.
nProvides the user with the capability on outgoing calls, based on trunk 
group administration, for DEFINITY to provide the calling name and its 
presentation status to the network.
nEnables DEFINITY to provide users the same Calling Name capability 
provided by Central Office to residential customers.
NOTE:
DEFINITY only supports the Bellcore National ISDN Calling 
Name feature for PRI, and does not support the Bellcore 
National Calling Name feature for BRI.
There is no support for original called name information when a 
call has been forwarded or redirected.
Bellcore Calling Name is a public network feature and its 
feature operation is very much dependent on how the National 
ISDN trunk interfaces are provisioned at the CO switch 
(whether to accept CPE originated Calling name, how to deliver 
Calling Name with or without Privacy Override).
Valid entries Usage
y/n Enter y to send a name on outgoing calls over NI PRI trunks. 
Important: Be sure you have validated that your service provider’s 
central office is capable of accepting calling name information from 
DEFINITY in this way. For example, if the central office switch is a 
5ESS, it must be a generic 5EXX or later. Failure to validate the 
central office capability may cause the central office to drop outgoing 
calls from your switch. In this case, change the value in this field to n.
Enter n to prevent sending calling name information with outgoing 
calls over NI PRI trunks. n is this field overrides a y in the Send Name 
field of the outgoing trunk group screen.

Capacity Constraints and Feature Limitations
nDEFINITY will be capable of receiving up to 50 characters of Bellcore 
National ISDN Calling Name information but display a maximum of 15 
characters. 
— Truncation behaviors will truncate names longer than 15 characters 
to the first 15 characters to be displayed. 
NOTE:
DEFINITY does not support optional capabilities to interpret/display the 
original called name information when a call has been forwarded or 
redirected.
nIf the Bellcore Calling Name information is received during Call Setup time, 
this feature presents the same end user interface when displaying calling 
name information. 
nBased on user administration for this feature, if Calling Name is received 
later in a FACILITY message, there may be a display update to include 
Calling Name in the “calling” part of an incoming call display. 
— This display update may erase any Call Center collected/prompted/
CINFO/II digits being displayed on agent CallMaster sets but agents 
can redisplay the digits via a feature button.
Feature Administration
nAvailable if “ISDN-PRI” is administered on the system-parameters 
customer option form. 
nFollowing theDEFINITY administration scheme, the Bellcore Calling Name 
feature for PRI is selected for ISDN PRI or ATM trunk groups as follows:
— The DS-1 interface for PRI or the signaling group for ATM Trunk is 
administered with country protocol “1b” for Bellcore.
— The ISDN Trunk Group SS option (Supplementary Service option) is 
administered “A” for National Supplementary Service protocol .
— The ISDN Trunk Group “Send Name:” field is administered to either 
“y” or “n” in order to originate Calling Name information for outgoing 
calls.
Calling Name Display Update
nBefore DEFINITY release 8.1 calling number and/or calling name display to 
the called station was provided when the SETUP message was received, 
except in the case of Call-by-Call subscription of ANI delivery by the AT&T 
PRI network.

nThe 5ESS network database query timer is set to one to six seconds (three 
seconds is the default). 
— The aim of DEFINITY support of the Bellcore Calling Name is to 
present as similar a user interface as the LEC Caller-ID service. 
Caller-ID usually delivers the Caller ID information on the 2nd ring 
cycle with each ring-silence cycle defined as 6 seconds.
nGiven the Caller-ID information delivery timing, the LEC network switch 
should be delivering the Calling name information to DEFINITY within 2 
rings as the call is being alerted and therefore there is no need to delay any 
call alerting on DEFINITY. 
— Customers can select whether to get a display update with name 
information if name was not initially displayed when the call was first 
alerting at the Called station.
Bellcore National ISDN Calling Name Update
nA new administration parameter added to the ISDN Trunk Group form if the 
“SS option” field is set to “A:
nThe new field “US NI Delayed Calling Name Update? ” is a “y/n” field and 
defaults to “n”(o).
— If it is set to “n” and Calling Name information is received after the 
incoming call has been delivered to the Called station, there will be 
no display update to the terminating station with the Calling name 
information.
— If the field is set to “y” and Calling Name information is received after 
the incoming call has been delivered to the terminating station, there 
will a display update with the Calling Name information in the 
“calling” portion of the display.
— This field can only be set to “y” for ISDN PRI or ATM trunk group 
types with corresponding trunk interface that selected “1b” as the 
Country Protocol (on DS-1 form for PRI trunk or on signaling group 
form for ATM trunk).
— If this field is set to “y” for other ISDN trunk group types, at form 
submission time the SAT cursor will placed on this field and the 
following error message displays “BRI trunks do not support this 
value”.
Option A Change
nWith the support of Bellcore Calling Name under SS Protocol “A” (National 
SS), the “r” choice is allowed.
nDEFINITY Call Processing code enforce a check if “Send Name: r” is 
administered for an SS Option A trunk group not associated with a Country 
Protocol “1b” PRI interface results in no Calling name being sent (as if the 
“Send Name:” field is set to “n”).

SS Option A Choices
nThe “Send Name:” field on page 2 of ISDN Trunk Group form allows the 
“r”(estricted) choice when the “Supplementary Service Protocol” is set to 
“A” (National SS protocol). Standard error and help messages apply.
NOTE:
For the Bellcore National ISDN Calling Name feature for PRI, DEFINITY 
supports the callingName, NAME, NamePresentationAllowed, 
NamePresentationRestricted, NameNotAvailable, NameData, NameSet, 
and CharacterSet.
Interworking
nDEFINITY supports Calling Name for the following types of ISDN networks:
— QSIG private network (multi-vendor networks)
— DCS/DCS+ private network (DEFINITY only networks)
— AT&T Custom PRI private network (DEFINITY only networks)
— AT&T Custom PRI public network (4ESS networks)
nCalling Name information interworking is supported between any two of 
these networks
—QSIG
— DCS/DCS+
— AT&T Custom PRI private or public network.  Trunk Group Page 2 screen with the new field choice and new field.

nWith the addition of Bellcore National ISDN Calling Name feature, 
interworking of Calling Name in the Bellcore National ISDN network will 
also be fully supported if the Bellcore Calling Name information is available 
in the SETUP message. 
— There is no interworking of the Bellcore Calling Name with other PRI 
networks if the Bellcore Calling Name is not in the SETUP message.
Feature Plus – Non-DID Calling via UDP
ISDN Feature Plus Phase 2
nProvides users without Direct Inward Dialing (DID) the capability of direct 
dialing (via the public network) users on a remote PBX. 
nAvailable according to the following parameters:
— ISDN Feature Plus is a set of features using non-standard ISDN 
signaling to give users feature transparency over public networks. 
— A non-blank subaddress entry on the route pattern form causes 
routing digits to be sent to the terminating end. 
nWhen these digits are received, the call will route based on 
the received routing digits.
nMust only be used for route preferences destined for public 
LDNs.
— For networks supporting less than the standard 23 octet 
Subaddress IE, either calling name or Pseudo DID information can 
be transported, but not both. 
nRecommended to turn off calling name since it will be 
truncated to only 6 characters.
— For users without DID, remote extensions can only be reached over 
public networks by dialing the Listed Directory Number (LDN) of the 
remote location and having the remote attendant redirect the call to 
the appropriate extension. 
nUsing the Feature Plus platform to provide Pseudo DID, a 
remote users extension is transported across a public 
network in a Subaddress IE. 
nThe remote user is accessed by their assigned extension and 
any other routing digits required, such as an AAR access 
code. 
nUtilizing existing DEFINITY® system digit manipulation, the 
remote users extension is converted to the correct public 
LDN.

nWhen a LDN call is received, the incoming SETUP message 
is checked for a Calling Party Subaddress IE containing a 
DID extension. 
nIf the extension is present, the call will not be sent to the 
attendant, as is currently the case. The call will, instead, be 
routed to the indicated extension.
nFeature Plus Pseudo DID will only work over trunk groups assigned 
Supplementary Service Protocol Option f.
nRequires the originating and terminating nodes in a network to be 
DEFINITY® ECS release 8 or later. 
nTandem nodes in the network may be other vendors so long as they 
support transmitting the Calling Party Subaddress IE in SETUP. 
nA pre-release 8 DEFINITY® ECS can also be included in the network as a 
tandem node.
nApplicable offer category is B.
Administration
nThe number of digits to send in the Calling Party Subaddress IE must be 
administered.
nIn order to allow the most flexibility for routing alternatives, the 
administration was added to the route pattern form. 
nNew field only administered if the software is version 8 or above and ISDN 
Feature Plus is enabled. 
nSending Feature Plus information is only valid on trunk groups 
administered with Supplementary Service Protocol.
nA new numeric field No. Dgts Subaddress added to the Route Pattern form. 
— Default is blank. 
— Field can not be administered unless the switch is administered as 
version 8 or later. 
— Field can not be administered unless ISDN Feature Plus is enabled. 
— Field can not be administered unless the trunk group is ISDN.
— Field is only valid for ISDN trunk groups.

Example
nLeased line from DEFINITY® system A to DEFINITY® system B. 
nThe first routing preference can be assigned to the leased line so User B1 
can be dialed directly without sending Pseudo DID subaddress information. 
nIf preference 1 is not available, preference 2 can be assigned to the LDN 
on DEFINITY® system B, and the dialed Pseudo DID extension can be 
sent as the subaddress.
nThe 4000 block of extensions was not purchased from the public network 
and extension 4010 in the public network. 
nWith Feature Plus, User A can reach User B1 directly by dialing 94010. 
Digit manipulation must be administered (AAR digit analysis and route 
pattern) to delete the dialed extension (4010) and insert the LDN (303 XXX 
XXXX). 
nThe LDN is sent in the Called Party IE as the destination address and the 
DID extension is sent in the Calling Par ty Subaddress IE. 
nUsing the DID extension received in the Subaddress IE at DEFINITY® 
system B, the call terminates to User B1 rather than to the attendant. If 
User A wants to reach the attendant, the full ARS number must be dialed 
(for example, 8 303 XXX XXXX).Route Pattern Form

Alerting Ring Pattern
nIf the incoming trunk group, which terminates to the LDN, is administered 
as tie, the ring pattern administered on the trunk for incoming calls apply. 
— If Internal Alert? is yes, the system ring pattern administered for 
internal calls apply. 
— If Internal Alert? is no, the system ring pattern for external calls 
apply. 
— If the trunk group is not tie, the system ring pattern administered for 
external calls applies.
nWhen calls are received for LDNs and the switch is in night service, the 
calls are redirected to the administered night service extension. 
— The night service extension are ignored for Pseudo-DID calls and 
routed to the received extension regardless of night service status.
Shared Calling Party Subaddress IE Contents
nWhen a Pseudo DID extension is assigned in conjunction with calling name 
(trunk group Send Name? y), both the calling users name and the DID 
extension are transported in the Calling Par ty Subaddress IE. 
nBy default, for networks supporting less than the standard 23 octet IE, 
calling name information is discarded.
Terminating DID Subaddress
nWhen a call is received over an SSF interface for an LDN extension, the 
Calling Party Subaddress IE is checked for a DID extension. 
nIf present, the call is routed to the DID extension rather than the attendant. 
nOnce the call has been routed to the DID extension, all procedures for a 
direct incoming call apply.
nSince a DID extension received as a subaddress can be the result of AAR, 
ARS or UDP dialing on the originating side, ringing applies based on the 
administered ring pattern for external calls unless the trunk group is 
administered with Internal Alert? yes (applies only to tie trunks).
Multiple Pubnet Calling/Connect Numbers/
System (Italy)
This feature provides multiple public-network calling/connected numbers per 
system.  It provides the user with the capability to send out different “main” 
numbers for trunks associated with different network providers.
nIn Tenant Partitioning where each tenant is using specific trunks, this can 
ensure that proper calling/connected numbers are sent out based on the 
trunks used.

nPublic networks may check the accuracy of the Calling Line Identification 
number information sent by a CPE. 
nThe number is checked to make sure it is within a provisioned range. 
nIf the number is not accurate based on the trunk group used, the 
DEFINITY®-provided Calling Number would be deleted and a network-
provided “main billing” number would be used instead. 
nThis creates a situation in which the callers extension information is lost, 
adversely impacting the caller identification in both emergency and normal 
situations.
nIn outbound call management applications for third party companies, 
multiple trunks and numbers would be used and accurate Calling Number 
information is provided by DEFINITY
® system on call originations.
It also passes network Advice of Charge (AOC) information to all protocol WCBRI 
endpoints provides the user with the capability to tandem transparently network 
provided AOC information to all WCBRI endpoints. The AOC information can be 
used by WCBRI stations for local station display purposes. Network AOC 
information to be passed include: ETSI, CEPT Italy, and NTT INS-NET 1500 
Japan.
Capacity Constraints and Feature Limitations
nWhen a switch is administered for the multiple public network numbering 
enhancement, the number of administered entries in the ISDN public-
unknown number form could increase by n fold with “n” being the number 
of distinct main numbers that the switch needs to originate for outgoing 
calls. 
— The maximum form entries (8 pages of 30 entries each) was 
considered sufficient, and therefore not increased.
nMaximum number of number digits displayed including any national/
international prefix remains at 15 digits. 
— Numbers longer than 15 digits will be truncated to the first 15 digits 
of number information (this is consistent with the current DEFINITY
® 
system number/name truncation behaviors.
nMaximum national or international prefix length is 5 digits.
nNetwork provided AOC information is tandemed transparently to WCBRI 
endpoints. 
nDisplay of the AOC information at end user stations is dependent on the 
station capability. 
nDEFINITY® system does not control WCBRI station display functions.
nThere is no mapping or conversion of Network side (PRI) AOC protocol to 
Line side (WCBRI) AOC protocol.
