The TN2313 DS1 interface can be configured for domestic (24-channel, 1.544 
Mbps) or international (32-channel, 2.048 Mbps) use. The TN2313 can supply two 
8-Khz reference signals to the switch backplane for optional use by the tone/clock 
board in synchronizing the system clock to the received line clock.
24 Port Analog Line with Caller ID: TN793B 
& TN2793B
The TN793/TN793B is a d ual c od ed , analog  line 24-p ort, that p erforms all the func tions of

Remote SAC Activation/Deactivation Form
nAdded New “Remote Send All Calls Activation:” and “Deactivation:” Fields 
on the FEATURE ACCESS CODE (FAC) Form
— FACs allow a remote user to activate or deactivate the Send All Calls 
feature.
— Feature access codes may be 1 to 4 digits; * and # may be used as 
the first digit only. The defaults are blank.
‘#’ as Abbreviation for Extension of Currently 
Active Appearance
nFor either of the new feature access codes, a ‘#’ dialed directly after the 
feature access code will signify that the extension of the appearance being 
dialed from is the extension being administered, and the extension need 
not be dialed; i.e., the initial ‘#’ is followed by the Station Security Code, ‘#’.
Remote User
nAccess this feature by dialing the telecommuting access extension 
telephone number directly or by being transferred to it. 
— Alternatively, the remote user can dial the remote access extension. 
nOn receipt of system dial tone the user would enter the appropriate FAC 
(either activate or deactivate SAC).  Feature Access Code (FAC) Form (page 3 of x)

nThe user then dials the station extension number, followed by a “#” and 
station security code (SSC), followed by a “#.” 
Local User
nThe Remote SAC Activation/Deactivation feature can also be activated by 
a local user from any local extension. 
nThe local user would access this feature on receipt of dial tone by entering 
the appropriate FAC (either activate or deactivate SAC) and receive recall 
dial tone. 
nThe user then dials the station extension number, followed by a “#” and 
station security code, followed by a “#.” 
nIf the user is dialing from the extension which is to be administered, the 
user may enter just the ‘#’ followed by the SSC, followed by “#,” this will 
signify to the system that the extension number of the appearance being 
dialed from is the extension number being administered. 
nThen either confirmation or intercept tone is returned if any of the following 
conditions exist:
— The extension number entered is invalid (logged as an invalid 
attempt).
— The extension number is not accessible from the user’s partition.
— The SSC is invalid for the extension entered (logged as an invalid 
attempt).
— Interdigit time out has occurred.
nIf activation/deactivation is successful, then confirmation tone is returned 
and SAC is either activated or deactivated at this point.
ISDN Renewal (Interworking Assumption)
When CCRON calls are extended over ISDN facilities, two scenarios are possible. 
1. ISDN end-to-end facilities are established
 Or 
2. ISDN end-to-end facilities are not available; a portion of the connection is 
not ISDN and ISDN facilities interworking is required for some link between 
endpoints.
nISDN end-to-end was assumed for a period of time, after which 
interworking was assumed unless a positive indication from the ISDN 
network signaled otherwise.

Off-Net Coverage Points
nAny point in a principal’s coverage path can be administered as an off-net 
destination.
NOTE:
Time-of-Day Coverage feature increases the number of coverage 
points from 3 to 6.
Increase Number of Remote Coverage Points
nNumber of Remote Coverage Points available (on all platforms) increased 
from 225 to 999.
Increase Number of Coverage Paths
nNumber of coverage paths increased from 600 to 999 on the small mips 
and from to 7500 to 9999 on the large mips.

Threshold Activated Call Forward Timer
nActivates “Threshold for Blocking Off-Net Redirection of Incoming Trunk 
Calls” field for Release 8.
nField has a range of 1-7 and “n”.
— “n” will mean that call processing never activates the Call Forward 
timer
nAn infinite number of calls to a principal may be redirected 
off-net. 
— The default is 1, which provides the current operation.
— When a customer is upgraded from a release prior to R8, this field is 
set to 1. 
nAll incoming trunk calls to a particular station are blocked from redirecting 
offnet during the call forward timer interval. 
nThe R8.1 user can change this value.
Coverage After Forward (Station Option)
nAdds a new field entitled “Coverage After Forwarding (station specific)?” to 
page 2 of the Station form for all stations.
nThe field may contain any of three different values:
— y - indicates, that for this station, coverage treatment should be 
applied after forwarding, regardless of the value of the “Coverage 
After Forwarding?” field on the SYSTEM PARAMETERS - CALL 
COVERAGE / CALL FORWARDING form
— n - indicates, that for this station, coverage treatment should not be 
applied after forwarding., regardless of the value of the “Coverage 
After Forwarding?” field on the SYSTEM PARAMETERS - CALL 
COVERAGE / CALL FORWARDING form.
— default - indicates, that for this station, use the value of the 
“Coverage After Forwarding?” field on the SYSTEM PARAMETERS 
- CALL COVERAGE / CALL FORWARDING form. New System Parameters--Call Coverage / Call Forwarding Form, Page 2 CCRON

NOTE:
Application of coverage treatment does not guarantee that the call will 
definitely redirect to a coverage point, since the coverage criteria as 
applied at the forwarded-to destination may not be satisfied.
nWhen a DEFINITY® system with CCRON activated is upgraded to R8, the 
value “s” (for ‘system’) set in the “Coverage After Forwarding ?” field on the 
Station form for all stations
nWhen a customer is upgraded from a release prior to R8, this field is set to 
“s” for all stations, indicating that call processing uses the value on the 
Coverage After Forwarding field on the SYSTEM PARAMETERS--CALL 
COVERAGE / CALL FORWARDING form. 
nTo override the system-wide parameter for a given station, the system 
administrator must set the field on the Station form.
Maintain SBA at Principal
nAllows customers to prevent the appropriation of a call appearance button 
on the principal’s phone by the simulated bridge appearance by a coverage 
call. 
— The ability to take phone calls may be more important than the 
capability of the principal to retrieve calls that have already 
redirected to coverage. Station Form (Page 2 of X)

nThis is a y/n field.

13-Digit Authorization Codes
nThe system now supports authorization codes from a minimum of 4 digits 
to a maximum of 13 digits in length.
— The number of authorization codes allowed (90,000 in a G3r, 5,000 
in a G3i)  (not changed).
nThe user may have to dial up to 13 digits to enter an authorization code. 
nThe use of the authorization code information for ARS, AAR, incoming 
trunk authorization, remote access, or any other feature that may require 
the collection of an authorization code has not changed.
nIf a standard CDR format is used and there are more than 7 digits in an 
authorization code, the authorization code is truncated to the high 7 digits 
to fit the format.
nThe customized format supports 13-digit authorization codes, and is 
encouraged for those with larger authorization codes.
Feature Administration
nFeature Administration allows the length of the authorization code assigned 
on the system - parameters features form to be from 4 to 13 digits.
nThe security violations status form has changed to allow 13-digit 
authorization codes.
nThe Authorization Code form shows 4 columns of 16 authorization codes 
instead of 6 columns.
