Multiple Public Numbering
nSelect an ISDN networking option on the system-parameters customer-
options form: either ISDN or ISDN-BRI Trunks.
nAdminister two or more ISDN-type trunk groups with trunk group number 
11 and 22.
nAdminister entries in the isdn public-unknown-numbering form: for each 
Ext Len/Ext Code combination desired, one entry may be entered with 11 
as the Trk Grp(s) value, another entry may be entered with 22 as the Trk 
Grp(s) value. 
— Enter the appropriate CPN Prefix and Total CPN Length values for 
each entry. 
— For calls originated in Trunk Group 11, a CPN number will be 
generated for outgoing calls using the Ext Code/CPN Prefix/Total 
CPN length values for the Trk Grp(s) 11 entry in the numbering 
table. 
— For calls originated in Trunk Group 22, a different CPN number is 
generated by using the Ext Code/CPN Prefix/Total CPN Length 
values for the Trk Grp(s) 22 entry.
nIf trunk groups numbered from 11 to 22 should all use the same CPN Prefix 
(for the same public trunk’s main number), one entry in the isdn public-
unknown numbering form can be administered with 11-22 in the Trk Grp(s) 
field.
Call Processing
Multiple Public Network Numbers
nFor ISDN calls, if a specific Identification Number (Calling/ Connected) is 
originated by the DEFINITY® system (based on switch administration ) and 
the Trunk Group form Page 2’s Numbering Format field is administered to 
public.
nIf there is an Ext Code entry for the station and if the Trk Grp(s) field is 
administered to the Trunk Group number that the call is carried on, or if the 
Trk Grp(s) field is administered to a Trunk Group number range, the 
station’s Identification number is generated using this entry’s 
administration.
nAn entry with Ext Code that matches the station extension and with a blank 
Trk Grp(s) field is used to generate the station’s Identification number.

Originating QSIG-VALU Called/Busy Number based on Trunk Group 
Numbers
nAny prefixed Calling/Connected/QSIG-VALU Called/QSIG-VALU Busy 
number that’s longer than 15 digits is truncated from the least significant 
digits according to the current DEFINITY
® system behavior.
nThe prefixing feature does not change any DEFINITY® system display 
format and any prefixed CPN/Called/Busy numbers continues to be 
displayed.
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 can increase by n-fold. 
nThe n could be the number of distinct main numbers that the switch needs 
to originate for outgoing calls (number of public network trunks with distinct 
main numbers). 
nMaximum form entries (8 pages of 30 entries each) is  sufficient.
nMaximum number of number digits displayed including any national/
international prefix remains at 15 digits.
nNumbers longer than 15 digits are truncated to the first 15 digits of number 
information. 
nThe maximum 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. 
nThe DEFINITY® system does not control WCBRI station display functions.
nIf the network and line protocols are different (for example, ETSI PRI - 
WCBRI Australia country protocol), there is no mapping or conversion of 
Network side (PRI) AOC protocol to Line side (WCBRI) AOC protocol.
Memory Impact of Capacity Changes
nThis enhancement allows multiple attd entries to be entered into the table. 
nThis change has a moderate memory impact.
National or International Prefix
nThese prefixes are not used when a call is transferred/forwarded/ covered 
off switch. 
nThe original received Calling/Connected/ Called/Busy number is sent on 
without any national/international prefixing.

Advice of Charge
nThe WCBRI Platform supports the line-side country protocols of Bellcore 
National ISDN-1, Australia, ETSI, Japan, and Singapore. 
nNetwork provided AOC is tandemed to WCBRI regardless of the 
administered WCBRI country protocol. 
nBellcore National ISDN and Singapore networks are not known to support 
AOC ser vices.
Pass AOC to WCBRI
nIf network provided Advice of Charge information is received for a call 
connected to a WCBRI endpoint, the AOC information is tandemed 
transparently to WCBRI. 
nTandemed AOC’s 
—ETSI AOC.
nFor SS option C (etsi) trunk calls, the DEFINITY® system 
passes any FACILITY message containing Codeset 0 Facility 
IEs to WCBRI .
nThe DEFINITY® system passes any Codeset 0 Facility IE 
within the first call clearing message (DISCONNECT, 
RELEASE, or RELEASE COMPLETE) to WCBRI.
nItaly CEPT AOC.
— The DEFINITY
® system passes the Shift to Codeset 6 IE and 
codeset 6 Charging Information IE received in CONNECT, 
INFORMATION, DISCONNECT, and RELEASE messages to 
WCBRI.
nJapan AOC.
— The DEFINITY
® system passes the Shift to Codeset 6 IE and the 
INS-Net 1500 codeset 6 Advice of Charge IE received in 
DISCONNECT, RELEASE, and RELEASE COMPLETE messages 
to WCBRI .
Te r m i n a l s
nDisplay of any prefixed Identification numbers applies to all types of 
display-capable terminal equipment (DCP, BRI, ATL, and attendant). 
nWCBRI station display is under local station control and is not controlled by 
the DEFINITY® system.

Transmission Interface
nThe ISDN enhancements only affect D-channel information signaling and 
end-user displays. 
nNo impact on the B-Channel connection used for each call. 
nThe IEs include Codeset 0 Facility IE (ETSI), Codeset 0 Display IE 
(Australia), Codeset 6 (CEPT Italy) Charging Information IE, and Codeset 6 
AOC IE (Japan).
Call Coverage Remote Off-Net (CCRON)
nWhen a remote coverage call is brought back into the DEFINITY® system 
to follow the called par ty’s original coverage path, the call is subject to 
prefixing if the prefixing feature is administered.
Calling Line Identification (CLI) Prefix
nCan apply a prefixing treatment (digit deletion, digit insertion, new PI 
encoding) to outgoing tandem calls (an updated CPN IE is sent out) and to 
locally terminated calls (an updated CPN number information is displayed). 
nIf CLI Prefix is administered on a trunk group, any incoming Calling Party 
Number IE is modified first by the CLI Prefix feature, then any International/
National prefix is applied to the modified CPN IE.
Display
nIf the International/national prefix feature is administered, features that 
display any number information (Calling, Connected, QSIG-VALU Called, 
QSIG-VALU Busy) display any resulting prefix-appended national/
international number to user stations.
ISDN – Basic Rate Interface
nThe Calling Party Number IE tandemed to BRI interface remains the 
originally received CPN IE from PRI, without any prefixing applied.
ISDN – WCBRI
nThe Calling Party Number IE tandemed to WCBRI interface remains the 
originally received CPN IE from PRI, without any prefixing applied.
ISDN – DCS over ISDN PRI D-Channel (DCS+)
nDCS+ may be administered to display the ISDN Connected number 
information.
Malicious Call Trace (MCT)
nThe MCT feature displays prefixed Calling Number information for 
consistent local displays.

Message Sequence Tracer (MST)
nThe MST records the CPNs and other identification numbers as received 
on the link. 
nThe MST is enhanced to record new message types and IEs containing 
AOC information tandemed over WCBRI signaling links.
Multi-point Control Unit (MCU) Meet-Me Conference
nThe Multi-point Control Unit for videoconference provides the Meet-Me 
Conference application. 
nWhen there is a dial-out Meet-Me Conference, the DEFINITY® system 
generates an event report and determines the Calling Number information 
for the call by using the isdn public-unknown form.
nFor an individual dial out Meet-Me Conference, there can be several 
related calls carried on different trunks and they will have the same Calling 
Number regardless of the Trunk Groups used for the calls. 
nThe isdn public-unknown form needs to be properly administered with 
blank Trk Grp(s) entries for generating Calling Numbers for Meet-Me 
Conference calls.
Adjunct Switch Applications Interface (ASAI)
nFor many customers over the ASAI interface, the received Calling/
Connected Party Number IE will be sent, without any International/National 
prefix. 
nIn certain CTI applications, there could be a need to receive prefixed 
Calling/Connected Number information so the correct call-back 
applications may be launched using the prefixed number information.
Restricted Presentation
nProvides new administration options to control whether a “Presentation 
Restricted” Calling Party Number is replaced by an administrable display 
string or the number will be displayed as received. 
nIf a Calling Party Number is received encoded as “Number Not Available 
Due to Interworking” or if a Calling Party Number IE is not received, a new 
administration option controls whether an administrable display string is 
displayed. 
nCan be administered to append a special character to restricted Calling 
Numbers passed to ASAI adjuncts (to allow special handling by ASAI 
applications). 
— Will not pass Restricted numbers to AUDIX, CMS, and PMS 
adjuncts.

nThe ISDN Presentation Restriction feature corrects the pre-R8 DEFINITY’s 
specification non-conforming behavior of displaying all received Calling 
Party Numbers, regardless of the Presentation Indicator encoding as 
follows:
— Presentation restricted
nIf the ISDN trunk group is administered to replace Restricted 
Numbers, the administered replacement string is displayed in 
place of the Calling/Connected, QSIG VALU Called/Busy 
number information.
— Number not available due to interworking
nIf the ISDN trunk group is administered to replace 
Unavailable Numbers, the administered replacement string 
will be displayed in place of any Calling/Connected, QSIG 
VALU Called/Busy number information (some number digits 
may still be received).
— Number not received
nIf the ISDN trunk group is administered to replace 
Unavailable Numbers, the administered replacement string 
displayed in the number field of user station’s display.
— ASAI Interface
nASAI Station form may be administered to identify restricted 
numbers by appending an “*” to the Calling Party Number 
string sent to the host adjunct via the ASAI BRI link.
— Adjunct Interfaces
nRestricted Calling Numbers are not forwarded to AUDIX, 
CMS, and PMS.
nRestricted Calling Numbers continue to be sent to CDR.
nNumber display applies to Calling/Connected, QSIG VALU Called/Busy 
Numbers.
nDEFINITY Number Display procedures comply with FCC rulings and QSIG 
CLIP/CLIR specifications. 
— Allows Type Approvals and multi-vendor testings to proceed without 
exception.
nDoes not affect Name display procedures.
nAny received QSIG Name information that is not “Presentation allowed” is 
treated as if no name is received, and there is no replacement string for 
Name display purposes.
nAllows a per trunk group control on whether to display Restricted (or 
Number not available), or to replace the number information with an 
administrable string.

nIf no Calling/Connected, QSIG-VALU Called and/or QSIG-VALU Busy 
numbered Number IE is received at all, the same trunk group 
administration determines whether a replacement string is used as the 
number field in a display.
nAllows a special character to be appended to Restricted Calling numbers 
sent over the ASAI link. 
nRecommended that the systems-parameters features form be 
administered first, then the ISDN Trunk Group forms, then any ASAI station 
form. 
Display Enhancement
nPrior to R8.1, DEFINITY displayed maximum 15 digits for any number 
information (Calling/Connected, QSIG VALU Called/Busy), including any 
administered national or international prefix digits . 
nNow increases the Calling/Connected, QSIG VALU Called/Busy numbers 
display to 20 digits plus a prepended prefix. 
nThe maximum 17-digit number display enhancement applies to Calling and 
Connected numbers only, there is no requirement to enhance the QSIG 
VALU number display to 17 digits.
nIf Calling/Connected numbers plus any applicable prefix results in a 
number longer than 17 digits, DEFINITY will follow existing truncation 
behavior and will truncate from the rightmost digits and display the 17 
leftmost digits.
nDisplay formats will be changed to display 17-digit Calling/Connected 
numbers only if
 there are sufficient blank spaces that can be shifted to the 
number field. 
— Category includes: all direct calls to stations and attendants, 
redirected calls to stations via transfer/coverage/forward, and 
redirected calls to attendants with one-character Reason Codes.
nOn direct calls to stations or attendants, with 4-character display stations, 
the 17-digit Calling/Connected number field is position 19-35, the MISCID 
field is position 37-40.
nOn 2x24 display stations, the calling number field is 1-17 on line two.
NOTE:
On redirected calls, the Calling number is displayed only if 
there is no Calling name information, otherwise the Calling 
Name is displayed in position 3-17.
On redirected calls to stations or attendants with 1-character 
Reason Codes, with 4-character display stations, the 17-digit 
Calling number field is position 3-19, and the “to” field at 
positions 21-22. On 2x24 display stations, the calling number 
field is 1-17 on line two.
