About this document


This document provides feature information for the DMS-100 switch.
Feature information is intended to help operating company personnel to
prepare for insertion of a new BCS load, or to understand elements of the
software. Operating company personnel involved in planning and
engineering or in maintenance activities will find this document useful.

When to use this document


Northern Telecom (NT) software releases are referred to as batch change
supplements (BCS) and are identified by a number, such as BCS34. This
document is written for DMS-100 Family offices that have BCS44.1i. This
version of the Feature Description Manual includes descriptions of both
feature packages and features that were introduced in this BCS as well as
those changed in this BCS.
More than one version of this document may exist. The version and issue
are indicated throughout the document, for example, 01.01. The first two
digits increase by one each time the document content is changed to support
new BCS-related developments. For example, the first release of a
document is 01.01, and the next release of the document in a subsequent
BCS is 02.01. The second two digits increase by one each time a document
is revised and rereleased for the same BCS. The Feature Description
Manual is issued twice in each BCS: a Preliminary issue and a Standard
issue. The Standard issue corrects and replaces all information in the
Preliminary issue for the same BCS, but it does not replace all of the content
of Standard versions from previous BCSs. When you receive the Standard
issue of the Feature Description Manual for BCS44.1i you should discard
the Preliminary issue for BCS44.1i, but do not discard other Standard
versions from previous BCSs.
To determine which version of this document applies to the BCS in your
office, check the release information in DMS-100 Family Guide to Northern
Telecom Publications, 297-1001-001.

How to identify the software in your office


The Office Feature Record (D190) identifies the current BCS level and the
NT feature packages in your switch. You can list a specific feature package

each feature, whether information exists under the following headings:
Hardware requirements, Pack diagnostic specifics, Restrictions and
limitations, Feature interactions, Datafill, Service orders, Operational
measurements, Logs, User interface, and Automatic message accounting.
This table provides an overview of the information available in this
document for each feature in the current software release and all those
documented in previous versions of the Feature Description Manual.

About this document xxiii

Feature package descriptions


Feature package descriptions are arranged in alphanumeric order according
to package number. Numbers precede letters in the alphanumeric order; for
example, package NTX901AA comes before NTXA00AB. Each feature
package originating in BCS28 or later is briefly described. The BCS in
which the package was created is given under the heading “BCS history.” A
table entitled “Feature package contents” lists the current contents of the
feature package, which may include features added in various BCSs. A
table entitled “Required feature packages” lists the feature packages that are
required for the package to function.
Each feature package description is followed by a description of each feature
added to the package in BCS44.1i. Note that a feature may occur in more
than one package. To relate a feature number to its feature package
number(s), see the cross-reference tables at the end of this document.

Feature descriptions
Each feature is briefly described. The BCS in which the feature originated is
given under the heading “BCS history.” In some cases, this section indicates
that a feature originated in a previous BCS has been changed for this BCS.
The following sections are included if they apply to the feature described:
• Hardware requirements
• Pack diagnostic specifics
• Restrictions and limitations
• Feature interactions
• Datafill
• Service orders
• Operational measurements
• Logs
• User interface
• Automatic message accounting

If one of the sections listed above is absent from an individual feature


description, the section does not apply to that feature.

Cross-reference tables
The following cross-reference tables are located at the end of the document:
• features listed by BCS
• feature number to feature package and BCS
• feature package to feature number and BCS

Feature impact summary table


This table provides an overview of the information available for each
feature, and how it affects the DMS environment. The table shows all
features in the current software release and all those documented in previous
versions of the Feature Description Manual.
The features are listed in the left column in alphanumeric order by feature
package, and Ys are placed in the various columns across the page to show
what is affected by that feature. For example, a Y in the FI column indicates
that the feature interacts with another feature, and further details are
available in the “Feature interactions” section of the feature description.
Note that the six columns on the right side of the table (D to AMA) relate
both to sections within the feature description and to other DMS-100
reference manuals. For example, a Y in the UI column indicates that the
feature modifies the user interface. Overview details are presented in the
“User interface” section of the feature description, and further details can be
found in either Nonmenu Commands Reference Manual, 297-1001-820 or
Menu Commands Reference Manual, 297-1001-821. Other DMS-100
reference manuals are listed on p. xxiv in “About this document”.

Feature name
T1–R1 Local Interworking
Description
This feature allows a DMS switch to act as an interface tandem switch
between an office that uses R1 signaling and a network that uses T1
signaling.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS37.
Restrictions and limitations
For T1 to R1 local tandeming, the terminating office must provide the
appropriate tone (ringback, busy or congestion tone).
With multifrequency shuttle (MFS) register signaling on T1 to R1 local
tandeming, when a valid route is found, the “connection set up” signal
(MF4) is returned. This renders subsequent “disconnection” (MF5) and
“congestion” (MF7) signals ineffective.
Subscriber busy or congestion is not supported in T1 to R1 local tandeming.
R1 to T1 local tandeming is not supported with R1 metering (MTR) trunks.
In R1 to T1 local tandeming, when a clearback (CLB) line signal is received
by a terminating trunk, congestion tone is not supported through the
incoming R1 trunk.
No-interval automatic number identification (ANI) is supported in R1 to T1
local tandeming only if R1 ANI trunks are used.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with feature TA0135 (CIS T1–R1 Local Interworking

TA0176
Feature name
CIS Universal Tone Receiver (UTR) Interface, Maintenance and Diagnostic
Description
This feature provides an interface between the facility processor (FP) and
the local processor (LP) of the CIS UTR card, NET6X2AA. This card
provides the out-of-service diagnostic that involves running on-board
diagnostics and performing an enhanced test to verify the capacity of
detecting the multifrequency (MF) and single tones (425, 500, 700,
1100 Hz), as well as the reports corresponding to the associated parameters.
The new UTR card supports the following CIS tone sets:
• CIS I/C MFPP
• ANI Gapless (ANIG)
• MF Shuttle (MFS)
• CIS Miscellaneous

Dual tone Multifrequency (DTMF) and Multifrequency compelled (MFC)


tone sets are also supported. This feature applies to peripheral modules with
the SDTC loads.
This UTR card is designed to be used in the XMS-based peripheral module
(XPM) in place of the NT6X92 card. The UTR card provides the same tone
detection capability for up to 32 channels as the existing NT6X92CA.
The CIS UTR is a 32-channel receiver. One or two UTRs can reside in an
XPM shelf. Any channel that requires tone detection is switched to one of
the channels of the UTR. Each UTR uses one DS30A port on the shelf. The
UTR can handle both A-law and µ-law tones. Tone samples are switched on
to the parallel speech bus by the time switch card and they are collected by
the UTR at the appropriate time slots. The UTR analyzes the samples and
identifies the tones. This card provides the ability to monitor for the CIS
signaling, including the CIS tone sets: ANI Gapless, CIS Miscellaneous, CIS
I/C MFPD, CIS MFS, and R1-MF.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS38i.
Hardware requirements
An NET6X2AA UTR card must be installed in the ninth slot of the
international digital trunk controller (IDTC) frame. This allows diagnostic
testing to be performed on this card.

NER500AA–10 297-1001-801i Standard 09.01 January 2000


NER500AA
TA0176
Restrictions and limitations
This feature depends on the capabilities of the NET6X2AA UTR card. The
UTR card is designed to support CIS tones.
This feature must be used only in the CIS market area, unless the DTMF and
the MFC signaling tone sets are supported by the NET6X2AA UTR card.
Feature interactions
This feature needs feature TA0175 (CIS Tones and Cadences) to function
properly. This feature is part of a group of features used by feature TA0177
(CIS UTR Integration Phase 1).

module (XPM) changes to provide T4 line signaling (NTLS25) on a DMS
switch.
In Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) T4 line signaling is used
between:
• toll exchanges
• toll and international exchanges

T4 line signaling works in conjunction with multifrequency pulse packet


type 4 (MFPP4) register signaling.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS40i.

NER500AA
TA0207
Feature name
T1/MFS MFPP1 (2)–T1/MFPP1 (2) Tandem
Description
This feature enables the DMS-100 switch to operate as a tandem office by
providing end-to-end tandem capability from T1/Multifrequency Shuttle
(MFS), T1/Multifrequency Pulse Packed 1 (MFPP1) or T1/Multifrequency
Pulse Packed 2 (MFPP2) trunks to T1/MFS, T1/MFPP1 or T1/MFPP2
trunks.

In the existing CIS network, a tandem exchange that serves calls from local
exchanges to a toll exchange type AMTC–KE (E) or AMTC_2,3 uses
MFPP1 or MFPP2 signaling, respectively. If the local exchange is
electronic, the register signaling on the first leg is MFS. If the toll exit code
is received by the tandem exchange via MFS, the tandem office provides a
path between the local and toll exchanges by completing the MFS register
signaling. Communication then continues between the local and toll
exchanges with MFPP1/MFPP2 register signaling.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS39i.
Feature interactions
This feature requires the following features:
• TA0131 (T1) MFS to MFS and MFS to DP End to End
Tandeming–XPM

MCT for CIS
Description
This feature enables the telephone administration to identify malicious calls
in the CIS network, using one of the following two methods:
• T1 line signaling–both sides disconnection type
• ANI Gapless (ANIG)
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS39i.
Hardware requirements
The Universal Tone Receiver (UTR) card NET6X2AA must be used.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature can only be used on international digital trunk controllers
(IDTC) with a unified processor (UP).

For the both sides disconnection method, the outgoing (OG) part and
incoming (IC) part must be datafilled with CALLED in translation table
TRKGRP.
Since a special service code is used after the switchhook flash in the CIS
network, parameter MCT_ACTIVATION_WITH_SERVICE_CODE in table
OFCVAR must be set to Y.
Since MCT can be activated any time before exiting the call in the CIS
network, parameter MCT_TIMER_TO_IGNORE_MCT field of table
OFCVAR must be set to 0.
Trunks that are held due to an MCT activation can only be released with a
force release (FRLS) process from a MAP (maintenance and administration
position) terminal.
After MCT has been activated the calling party’s line is held until the trunk
is released. Only when this is done can the calling party generate a new call.
The called party may generate a new call immediately after going on–hook
from the malicious call.
This feature does not support simultaneous MCT and destination control
request (DCR) signals.

This feature provides the following link-by-link interworking on a
DMS-100i switch:
• T1/MFS/MFPP1 to T1/MFPP1
• T1/MFS/MFPP2 to T1/MFPP2

The link-by-link interworking allows a DMS-100i tandem office to produce


CAMA billing records.
In the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) network, a tandem
exchange connecting calls from a local exchange to the toll network uses:
• multifrequency pulse packet 1 (MFPP1) signaling when connected to an
AMTC-KE(E) toll office
• multifrequency pulse packet 2 (MFPP2) signaling when connected to an
AMTC-2 or AMTC–3 toll office
Signaling between the local office and the tandem office is multifrequency
shuttle (MFS), MFPP1, or MFPP2.

If the DMS-100i tandem office receives the toll exit digit from the local
office as an MFS signal, field TRFC in table TRKGRP is checked. If the
field is set to CAMA, the tandem office implements link-by-link
interworking. If field TRFC is not set to CAMA, the tandem office
implements end-to-end working.

T101 Test Lines for T1 Trunks
Description
This feature provides the existing T101 capability over DMS100i switch T1
trunks. The 101 test line provides a two-way talking connection between a
test position and any incoming or outgoing trunk associated with the
DMS100i switch. This allows maintenance personnel to make calls to
discuss problems between offices.

Originating 101 test lines, called Communication Trunks, permit originating


of 101 calls to distant offices. Terminating 101 test lines, called 101 Test
Trunks, carry maintenance calls from distant offices. DMS100i switch is
provided with the 101 Test Line and the TTP level MAP command;
CALLTRF ( Call Transfer). This allows the maintenance functions to be
performed on 101 calls in addition to talking. CALLTRF is provided to
allow a posted incoming 101 trunk to have its linked circuit; the outgoing
trunk’s control transferred from that of call processing to the TTP. It is then
possible to perform maintenance functions on the posted circuit. The linked
circuit must not be under TTP control and must be call processing busy
(CPB) .

This feature is for T1 line signalling which is used for calls between local
exchanges and for outgoing toll calls.
The register signaling types used by this feature are:
• Decadic Pulse (NTRS05) is used for calls between local exchanges,
from/to tandem and toll calls from ARM–20 and to ARM–20.
• MF Shuttle (NTRS02) is used for both incoming and outgoing local and
tandem calls and also used for incoming toll calls.
• MF Pulse Packet Type 1 (NTRS14) is used for outgoing toll calls if toll
type is AMTC–KE(E).
• MF Pulse Packet Type 2 (NTRS03) is used for outgoing toll calls if toll
type is AMTC–2,3.
• ANIG DP (MF3) is used for outgoing toll calls if toll type is ARM20.

Feature name
T101 Test Lines for T2 Trunks
Description
This feature provides the existing T101 capability over DMS100i switch T2
trunks. The 101 Test Line provides a two–way talking connection between a
test position and any incoming or outgoing trunk associated with the
DMS100i switch. This allows maintenance personnel to make calls for
discussing problems between offices.

Originating 101 Test lines, called Communication Trunks, permit originating


of 101 calls to distant offices. Terminating 101 test lines, called 101 Test
Trunks, carry maintenance calls coming from distant offices.

DMS100i switch is provided with the 101 Test Line and the TTP level MAP
command CALLTRF ( Call Transfer). This allows the maintenance
functions to be performed on 101 calls in addition to talking.
CALLTRF is provided to allow a posted incoming 101 trunk to have its
linked circuit; the outgoing trunk’s control transferred from that of call
processing to the TTP. It is then possible to perform maintenance functions
on the posted circuit. The linked circuit must not be under TTP control and
must be call processing busy (CPB).
The register signaling types used by this feature are:
• Decadic Pulse (NTRS05) is used for calls between local exchanges,
from/to tandem and toll calls from ARM–20 and to ARM–20.
• MF Shuttle (NTRS02) is used for both incoming and outgoing local and
tandem calls and also used for incoming toll calls.

Feature name
Common Trunk Group Types for T2/T4 Trunks
Description
In the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) network, all incoming T2
and T4 trunks are datafilled as operator (OPR) trunks to enable toll break in
(TBI). However, most subscriber features are restricted to use with metered
(MTR) trunks, and do not operate with OPR trunks.
This feature permits incoming MTR trunk groups to support both regular
and OPR type calls. It adds the capability of sending and receiving category
information to and from multifrequency shuttle (MFS) trunks.
The following enhancements are made:
• Group type MTR is enhanced to support operator calls.
• MFS register signaling is enhanced to include call category and category
request signals.
• Table CONVMAP is introduced. Tables CONVCC, TRKSGRP, and
LNSIGSYS are modified. See Datafill section for details.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS43i.
Hardware requirements
Not applicable
Restrictions and limitations
The following restrictions and limitations apply:
• The three-conference circuit is not allocated until the expiration of the
OPRTMO timer. Using this timer affects the operation of TBI.
• The time required to receive clear forward (CLF) signals may exceed the
OPRTMO timer value. Conference ports are allocated when the timer
expires. and released when the CLF signals are received. This reduces
the outage of conference circuits during high traffic loads.

AD2997
Feature name
Trunk Group Expansion to 8K
Description
AD2997 increases the limit on the number of trunk groups in an office from
2047 to 8191.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature applies to all DMS-100 family product lines that support trunks,
and to SL-100.
The size of table TRKGRP cannot be larger than the size of table CLLI.
Table TRKGRP cannot be larger than 8191 tuples.
Tables that are expanded with table TRKGRP are not necessarily reduced
with table TRKGRP.
Not all tables that are keyed by trunk group are increased to 8191 tuples.
A request for an Engineering Administrative Data Acquisition System
(EADAS) trunk group list audit provides data only on the first 2048 trunk
groups datafilled on the switch.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with feature AD2796 (CLLI Table Expansion to 8K).

AD2997
Logs
Logs AMAB122, AMAB160, and AMAB180 are modified. For all three
logs, the highest possible trunk group number in fields ICTRKID and
OGTRKID is modified from 2047 to 8191. Previously, trunk group number
2047 was reserved for a NULL or NOT APPLICABLE value. This feature
changes the NULL value to 8191.
User interface
The following command interface commands are modified to allow the
expanded indexing of up to 8191 trunk group related items:
• TESTDB in directory IYTESTDB
• NEKTEST in directory MNEKTEST
• NEKTEST in directory UNEKTEST
• NEKTEST in directory NEKTEST
• DISP_MTRBLK in directory TESTMTK
• OTGDTST in directory TEST2355
• TRKCONV in directory C7TCVMAP
• CPSELECT in directory CPSEL

Automatic message accounting


This feature modifies automatic message accounting (AMA) record codes
BB, BC, and BE. The fields OG_TRUNK_ID and IC_TRUNK_ID in the
AMA records are modified to have a range of 0 to 8191. A value of 8191
indicates that the incoming or outgoing agent involved in the call is not a
trunk.

AF1749
Feature name
Realtime Input OM
Description
AF1749 provides additional information for the REAL::TIME tool on a PC
with LOTUS 1–2–3 to predict switch performance based on accurately input
data. Prior to this feature, information used by this tool was estimated.
The additional information provided by this feature is also used by LOTUS
1–2–3 tools such as PRTCALC and REAL::QUICK.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS29.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature is limited by the real time available to the OM system to print or
store the information.
Operational measurements
The following OM groups are added to display the required information:
• RTLTSUM is added to provide call origination and termination attempts
based on line or trunk type. Registers include RTOATT, RTOATT2,
RTTATT, and RTTATT.
• RTFEAT is added to contain information required by the REAL::TIME
tool that is based on call features rather than line or trunk type. This
group contains nine registers.
• RTEASUM is added to contain call attempts with a destination
corresponding to the tuple description. This group contains six keys.
Field ACBACBN is added to OM group ACB to count automatic call back
(ACB) attempts to a network. Field ARARN is added to OM group AR to
count auto recall (AR) attempts to a network.

AF1780
Feature name
DIRP Space Rotation
Description
AF1780 offers a method of managing the space taken up by device
independent recording package (DIRP) files on disk. By using the space
rotatation technique, unexpired processed files are not erased by DIRP
before they have passed a retention period and operating companies have the
capability of setting the maximum size of a disk file. A space rotatation is
initiated when DIRP senses that the system is running low on free space or a
disk file reaches the size limit specified by the user. Under normal
circumstances, a space rotatation writes transfer records to the active file
before closing it.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS29.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature only applies to disk.
When a subsystem uses a pool of devices (type TAPE or DPP), field
MAXDFSIZ in table DIRPSSYS has no effect on the subsystem files.
The old active file is always closed after space rotatations, regardless of the
setting of field ROTACLOS in table DIRPSSYS.
Datafill
The following table was modified for this feature:

Table Description

DIRPSSYS Field SPACROTE is added to specify if space rotate is enabled.

Field MAXDFSIZ is added to specify the maximum size of the


disk file (5 to 64 Mbytes).

This feature increases protected data store by less than 20 words.


Operational measurements
Rotates are counted; therefore, higher peg counts occur because of this
feature.

Feature Description Manual Volume 1 of 3 BCS44.1i NTX001AA–17


NTX001AA
AF1780
Logs
A value, “space”, is added to reasons 12, 13, 14, and 15 of log DIRP101.
This indicates when a log is generated because of space rotation.
Automatic message accounting
Although automatic message accounting is not modified by this feature,
transfer records 9013 and 9014 are observed more often.

AF2013
Feature name
Office Routes Capacity Increase
Description
AF2013 increases the office route table (OFRT) capacity from 1023 entries
to 4092 entries by adding tables OFR2, OFR3, and OFR4. Tables
OFRTMA2, OFRTMA3, and OFRTMA4 are also added and are copies of
tables OFRTMAP. (Table OFRTMAP is a pretranslation table for integrated
services digital network (ISDN) routing, which is used as a map into table
OFRT. Tables OFRTMA2, OFRTMA3, and OFRTMA4 are present only in
ISDN feature packages.) Other tables are modified to include the table
name and route ID for a call.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
Tables OFRT, OFR2, OFR3, and OFR4 are limited to a maximum of 1023
routes per table.
Tables should be datafilled sequentially, starting with index 1.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with the translation verification utility and the service
order system.

AF2470
Feature name
Special Application Patching
Description
AF2470 uses the SPECIAL APPLICATION field in the patch file to supply
warnings when checking, applying, or removing a patch.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS31.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature causes the Auto Patch process to leave files in SFDEV that
would previously have been erased. Output files are kept by this auto patch
process for any patch with SPECIAL APPLICATION set to Y.
Feature interactions
This feature requires the PATCHER in order to operate.
User interface
This feature causes the SPECIAL APPLICATION field to appear in the
INFORM LIST and adds it to the fields displayed in the DISPLAY
command. The new RESTART REQUIRED field is also displayed in the
INFORM LIST and DISPLAY commands.
The command syntax has not changed. There is a new warning from the
CHECK, APPLY, REMOVE, and PATCHEDIT commands for patches with
the SPECIAL APPLICATION field set to Y.
The INFORM LIST command header changes from AUT to ASR when the
SPECIAL APPLICATION and RESTART REQUIRED fields are added.

AF2531
Feature name
Forced Sequence Application
Description
AF2531 ensures that patches are applied in sequential order and provides the
following:
• proper sequencing of patch applications
• the highest applied in-sequence number
• forced application of patches that are out of sequence
• an output log for forced applications
• patches ordered in table PATCTRL by sequence number

This feature is enabled by an office parameter in table OFCENG.


BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature does not try to recalculate the highest sequence number or the
highest applied in-sequence number if a patch is removed. Once applied, a
patch is always considered applied for sequencing purposes.
Datafill
Table Description

PATCTRL Value OUT_OF_SEQ is added to field ACK to indicate a patch


that is required but is out of sequence.
OFCENG Office parameter APPLY_PATCHES_BY_SEQUENCE is added
to turn on forced sequence application of patches.

This feature increases protected data store by 120 words.


Logs
Log PCH103 is added by this feature. PCH103 is generated when office
parameter APPLY_PATCHES_BY_SEQUENCE is turned on and command
APPLY PATCHID FORCE is used to apply a patch that is out of sequence.
User interface
This feature adds a FORCE parameter to command APPLY. The FORCE
parameter is used to apply patches that are out of sequence.

NTX001AA–22 297-1001-801i Standard 09.01 January 2000


NTX001AA
AF2531
This feature also adds output to command INFORM MISSING, including
the system log message, the date and time, the highest applied in-sequence
number, and a list of download-checked status patches.
If command GETPAT in directory PROGDIR finds a patch that is required
but will be out of sequence, the patch is put into table PATCTRL with field
ACK set to OUT_OF_SEQ.

AF2532
Feature name
Obsolete Packaging
Description
AF2532 provides information for the application of packaged replacement
or obsolete patches to the DMS. It ensures that the proper category and
status update is recorded in the patcher inform list. This feature provides
enhancements for the attempted removal of replacement patches and for the
attempted application of an obsolete patch.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS31.
Restrictions and limitations
The package application portion of this feature can be applied to central
control patching only. Patches applied by a package must be removed
individually, not as a package.
The prompts implemented by this feature are issued only for manual patch
actions.
Feature interactions
This feature requires the PATCHER in order to operate.
User interface
Warnings and prompts are added to the REMOVE and the APPLY
commands. If users try to remove a package–applied patch, a warning and
prompt are issued. The prompt requires a YES or NO response. If users try
to apply an obsolete patch, a warning and prompt are issued.
Two new parameters, package applied (PA) and package replaced (PR), are
added to the INFORM STATUS command.

AF2705
Feature name
DIRP DPP Reload and SWACT Recovery
Description
AF2705 creates device type DPP for switches using the distributed
processing peripheral (DPP) as a storage medium for automatic message
accounting (AMA) data.
The device independent recording package (DIRP) performs three types of
recovery on the DPP volumes:
• automatic recovery on reload restart, switch of activity (SWACT), or
BCS insertion
• recovery within 5 minutes after the magnetic tape drive system is
returned to service by a device audit
• instant recovery if, at the time of writing data, the active DPP volume is
unavailable, but the device system has returned to service. A new DIRP
file is opened to continue recording.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
It is not recommended that magnetic tape volumes be mounted to a pool of
DPPs for regular recording and parallel recording. A pool of DEVTYPE
DPP cannot be used for parallel recording.
During a BCS application, if the switch office is using a DPP, the device
type of the pool housing the DPP volumes in table DIRPPOOL should be
changed manually from TAPE to DPP before a SWACT occurs.

AF2815
Feature name
Patcher Integration
Description
AF2815 provides an audit to monitor the status of XMS-based peripheral
module (XPM) and intelligent services node (ISN) patches in the central
controller and computing module (CC/CM), and the ISN and XPM. This
feature also provides:
• logs for patching sessions
• enhanced patcher error messages
• alarms for missing patches

BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
The patcher audit is not run during routine exercise (REX), dump and
restore, autoimage, or autopatcher operations. If one of these operations is
active when the audit is scheduled, the audit is cancelled and a log is
generated.
Log PCH104 is not generated during loadbuild.
Log PCH105 is generated only for actions performed through the patch
process. For example, a REMOVE action of an XPM patch does not go
through the patch process; therefore, log PCH105 is not generated if a
failure occurs.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with existing patcher code for CM nodes, ISNs, XPMs,
ISN and XPM maintenance, and the log system.
Datafill
Table Description

AG0724
Feature name
PARMCALC – Verify Office Parameters (Phase 2)
Description
AG0724 provides a number of modifications and refinements to the output
of CI command PARMCALC.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS28.
Restrictions and limitations
If batch change supplement monitoring (BCSMON) is not run prior to
command PARMCALC, an error message is displayed.
Limitations of the CI interpreter are taken into account in both table
PARMFORM and command PARMCALC output.
High water register operational measurements are applicable only to a subset
of the office parameters in table PARMFORM.
The maximum percent value usage cannot exceed 100 percent.
A stack size of 7000 is required prior to running command PARMCALC.
If a restart is required in order to change the value of an office parameter, but
it has not been performed, then the mean, peak percentage calculations, and
current value of the parameter are incorrect because the calculations are
based on the value datafilled in the specific table. For example, if a
parameter is set at 300 and changed to 500 without performing a restart, then
calculations are based on the 500 value.
User interface
Field MEMORY CHANGE (WORDS) is added to the output of CI
command PARMCALC to display the amount of memory in words that is
required if an office parameter in table OFCENG is increased in value or the
amount of memory in words that is saved if an office parameter in table
OFCENG is decreased in value. CI command PARMCALC ALL displays
an additional line at the end of the output to indicate the total amount of
memory that is required or saved. Output from command PARMCALC is
modified so that an office parameter’s name and its corresponding data are
displayed on one line. The output date is added to the output from the batch
change supplement monitoring (BCSMON) 30 day high water register.

AJ0194
Feature name
CC Warm SWACT Enhancements
Description
AJ0194 upgrades the central control (CC) Warm SWACT feature to
accommodate more switch activity (SWACT) applications of the DMS-100
family of switches. This feature supports BCS25 to BCS28 (inclusive) and
handles a larger number of SWACT applications for BCS28 and higher.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS28.
Restrictions and limitations
The restrictions and limitations that apply to the CC Warm SWACT feature
also apply to this feature.
Command SWCT is available only when the NONRES module switch
activity command interpreter (SWCTCI) is loaded in the switch for BCS
applications and central control warm switch activities.
Datafill
This feature increases data store by approximately 150 words.
Logs
Log SWCT105 is added by this feature to describe the reason for central
control (CC) warm SWACT communication failure. For example, log
SWCT105 is generated when either the mate communication register (MCR)
or the MATELINK does not allow communication between the active and
inactive central processing units (CPU).
User interface
The responses to CI commands STATUSUPDATE, STATUSCHECK, and
DISP are modified to identify a node by its external identity or location. In
addition, CI command STATUSCHECK returns a value based on the return
reason. For example, value 6 indicates that communication with the MATE
failed.

AJ0729
Feature name
Trunk Return to Service (RTS) Enhancements II
Description
AJ0729 modifies feature AL0479, Trunk RTS Enhancement, by reducing the
call processing unit (CPU) time required to return trunks on line trunk
controllers (LTC) and remote cluster controllers (RCC) to service, when the
peripheral module is returned to service. Prior to this feature, trunk return to
service (RTS) enhancements dealt with digital trunk controllers (DTC) only.
This feature also reduces the number of return to service messages when an
entire carrier is returned to service and reduces the amount of real time, to
enable the call processing unit (CPU) to perform other functions.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS29.
Hardware requirements
This feature uses the unused store on the 6X47AB card (2 M memory).
Restrictions and limitations
This feature is available only for trunks using standard trunk return to
service (RTS).
The amount of time required to send trunk data is directly proportional to the
amount of data to be sent.
The maximum amount of data is sent when all trunks on a peripheral module
use standard trunk return to service and every trunk belongs to a different
subgroup.
Trunk data is sent during office reloads and when peripheral modules are
returned to service (only when the trunk data has changed).
Datafill
This feature increases XMS-based peripheral module (XPM) data store by
11000 bytes and increases XPM program store by 7000 bytes. DSTEMP
store is increased by 1000 words for each XPM, while the static data is
being sent to the XPM. Once data has been loaded, the DSTEMP store is
released.

(CI) process. CHECKTAB operates on the inactive side of a DMS switch;
while it is running, the inactive side is not available for backup service.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS34.
Restrictions and limitations
TABAUDIT allows only one session to be active at a time, except for the
following situations:
• TABAUDIT is excuted on different tables using the TABAUDIT only
command.
• TABAUDIT is excuted on the same table using the TABAUDIT only
command and no output device is specified.
• One session is either TABAUDIT ALL or TABAUDIT FROM and
another session is TABAUDIT only.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with existing table controls and the data dictionary to
verify table data syntax.
User interface
This feature adds command TABAUDIT at a MAP terminal to initiate data
verification.
This feature modifies command CHECKTAB at a MAP terminal to indicate
replacement of the CHECKTAB tool with the TABAUDIT tool.

AL0479
Feature name
Trunk Return to Service (RTS) Enhancement
Description
AL0479 reduces the amount of central processing unit (CPU) time required
to return trunks on digital trunk controllers (DTC) to service. This feature is
achieved by reducing the number of return-to-service (RTS) messages when
an entire carrier is returned to service and reducing the amount of real time
to enable the CPU to perform other functions.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS28.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature is not supported for small load digital trunk controllers or any
Series I peripherals.
The amount of trunk data to be sent depends on the number of subgroups to
which the trunks on the digital trunk controller belong (more subgroups
equals more data and time needed).
Trunk data is sent during office reloads and when digital trunk controllers
are returned to service (only when the trunk data has changed).
All large digital trunk controllers should be loaded with digital trunk
controller (DTC) loads only, as they cannot be returned to service with other
loads.
Datafill
This feature increases digital trunk controller (DTC) data store by
10200 bytes. While digital trunk controller static data is being loaded, an
extra 1000 bytes of data store is required for each digital trunk controller.

Feature name
Clock card NT9X53AD on DMS100i
Description
This feature provides the software support for the NT9X53AD clock card on
the message switch (MS)/local message switch (LMS). The NT9X53AD
replaces clock cards NT9X53AA, NT9X53AB, and NT9X53AC.
The MS synclock software synchronizes the Master MS to the external
source. The external source can be a Stratum 3 clock or a reference T1
signal from another office. The master clock provides the clock and frame
pulse signal to the DMS100i switch.
The maintenance software solves the problems related to hardware. This
software sends card maintenance unit (CMU) messages to and from the MS.
The NT9X53AD clock card provides the following enhancements:
• This feature uses a dual frequency oscillator to generate the system and
subsystem clocks. This design provides reliability and a stable clock
relationship. This design also removes the need for a phase locked loop
(PLL) synchronization algorithm.
• The card’s fault detectors can detect excessive or missing clock and
frame pulse signals. The NT9X53AD clock card provides more fault
detectors than its predecessors.
• An analog to digital converter monitors the output of the digital to
analog (DAC) converter chip.
• The NT9X53AD has circuitry to allow the two MS clocks to
communicate through the mate clock cable. This allows operating
company personnel to make sure the system has one master MS and one
slave MS.
• The NT9X53AD clock card uses a more accurate phase detection circuit
than its predecessors. This circuit increases synchronization
performance when syncing to a reference clock or mate MS clock.
• The program memory size (SRAM) increases from 32K bytes to 64K
bytes.
• The data memory size increases from 8K bytes to 16K bytes.
• This feature provides full functionality when working in LMS.
• This feature provides a circuit and method for regulating the timing
between the system and subsystem frame pulses.
The clock card CMU allows operating company personnel to perform the
following circuit pack functions:
• message with the MS/LMS processor

Feature Description Manual Volume 1 of 3 BCS44.1i NTX001AA–75


NTX001AA

• message with the remote clock module
• control a maximum of two separate PLLs
• perform background maintenance, including fault detection
• configure a DMS office as one of the following:
— master external office
— master internal office
— slave office
— remote office (LMS)

The NT9X53AD clock card supports downloadable firmware loads. The


loads can exist in an SRAM or erasable programmable read only memory
(EPROM).
The clock card runs the EPROM version when the MS executes some
maintenance procedures. For the time of these procedures, the MS
processor runs on its firmware in the EPROM, for a short period of time.
The MS begins to run its software load, which executes the clock firmware.
The EPROM version must be compatible with the syntax of the MS
processor firmware.
The NT9X53AD clock card stores its firmware in an SRAM, which allows
faster downloading. The SRAM version must be compatible with the syntax
of the MS processor software.
BCS history
Feature 39005679 was introduced in BCS44.1i.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires NT9X53AC and NT9X53AD.
Restrictions and limitations

Description
This feature provides enhanced functions for the Toll Break-in (TBI)
capability over R2 trunks on NTLS16, NTLS15, and NTLS24 line signaling
systems. The TBI feature allows an operator or a maintenance call to be
connected to a busy subscriber.

The enhanced TBI functions this feature provides are:


• preventing TBI on toll calls
• applying background tone from a conference circuit at the terminating
office or allowing the operator position to apply it
• allowing test calls to make automatic TBIs
• TBI implementation in two-way operation
Note: This feature is not currently enabled.

BCS history
This feature was created in BCS38i.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires the NT3X67BB card (conference card) to support TBI
background tone and its parameters are not optional.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature supports TBI at terminating and tandem offices.

TBI is supported at the terminating office with NTLS15, NTLS16, NTLS24


line signaling and programmable R2 MFC register signaling protocols.
TBI is not initiated for the following cases:
• When the subscriber that the operator wishes to reach is in the dialing,
outpulsing, or feature activation state, or has already activated a feature
• When the TBI line signal parameters are not datafilled
• When the calling or called party is the operator or has the Subscriber
Premise Metering (SPM) option, or if either party is a COIN line

TBI is initiated when the subscriber that the operator wishes to reach is
involved in a:
• line-to-line call
• line-to-trunk local call

• trunk-to-line local call
TBI is initiated when treatment is applied to the line that operator wants to
reach (tone or announcement).
TBI is not allowed on the subscriber that the operator wants to reach, if
TBI_RESTRICT_ON_TOLL is set to Y, and this subscriber is involved in a:
• trunk-to-line call and incoming trunk’s traffic class is TLLC
• line-to-trunk call and translation class is not LOCAL

TBI background tone is applied from the NT3X67BB card (conference


card). Its parameters (such as frequency, level, cadence) are not optional.
Signaling bit (A or B) is datafillable only for NTLS15 and NTLS24
signaling protocols. TBI line signaling bit A is not optional for NTLS16.

This feature does not support continuous forward transfer (FOT) and
subscriber free (SSF) signals.

When the terminating office is a DMS-100 switch, it does not generate more
than two pulses for the SSF signal.
The following line options prevent TBI:
• International No Double Connect (INDC)
• International Do Not Disturb (IDND)
• Denied Toll Break-in (DTBI)

ISDN Loop Maintenance Enhancements
Description
AL0944 provides modifications to the Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) loop maintenance software. The modifications are as follows:
• extension of automatic line testing (ALT) to support ISDN loops
• extension of bit error rate performance (BERP) testing to terminate on
ISDN B-channels
• displaying of the connected party and the active logical terminal
identifier (LTID) when a call processing busy B-channel is posted
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS30.
Hardware requirements
If all lines in an ISDN line concentrating module (LCMI) are ISDN, use the
LINETYPE ISDN option of the DEFINE command to test that LCMI.
Restrictions and limitations
The LCMI requires the same test equipment to run automatic line testing as
the LCM requires. The line insulation test (LIT) cannot perform the
capacitance test on ISDN lines. LIT is not available on the ISDN Line Card
(ISLC).
BERP does not seize a B-channel that has an active special connection on it.
If both B-channels of an ISDN line are in use when BERP tries to access it,
a seize failure is recorded. SUSTATE does not work when a BIC
looparound is in effect on an ISDN line.
Feature interactions
ALT is supported on ISDN lines.
BERP is able to terminate on ISDN lines.

NWMSD Table Rewrite
Description
AF2087 rewrites table Network Management Signal Distribution (NWMSD)
and its subtable Network Management Signal Distribution Points
(NWMSDPT) using “New Table Control”. This enables dynamic allocation
of memory so that each site uses only as much data store as is necessary for
the table. This feature also enables signal distribution groups to be assigned
or removed in table NWMSDPT as required.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS29.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires the 2X55AA, 2X57AA, or 2X57AB circuit card for
network management signal distribution (SD) points.
Restrictions and limitations
Memory is allocated for table NWMSD according to the number of signal
distribution groups designated by the SIZE field in table DATASIZE, for the
entry with field DATSKEY equal to NWMSD.
The maximum size of table NWMSD is limited to 512 signal distribution
groups (0–511).
Up to seven signal distribution points can be added to table NWMSDPT for
each signal distribution group.
Feature interactions
AF2087 interacts with the following features: Network Managment
Dynamic Overload Control, Internal Dynamic Overload Control (IDOC),
and Trunk Group Busy (TGB).

The following tables were modified for this feature:

Table Description

NWMSD Table is modified to permit its size to be dynamically increased


or reduced.

Subtable NWMSDPT is deleted and rewritten in table


NWMSDPT.

NWMSDPT Field SDGROUP is renamed field SDGRPPT.

Subfield NWMSDGRP in field SDGRPPT is added to specify


the point’s SD group.

Subfield SDPOINT in field SDGRPPT is modified from a key


value to a multi–key value.

Parameter FREE in field SDPTTYP is deleted.

Data store required for each entry in table NWMSD is unchanged at 32


words, however, the size of the table is no longer set to 32 tuples. Since
most offices require fewer entries in this table, data store requirements may
decrease with this feature.
User interface
Command SUB in table NWMSD is replaced by command TABLE in table
NWMSDPT in order to access table NWMSDPT directly. Table
NWMSDPT entries are not automatically added or initialized as FREE
points; instead, signal distribution points must be added to the table as they
are assigned. Points can be assigned either as Trunk Group Busy (TGB) or
as Internal Dynamic Overload Control (IDOC) using command ADD. Two
parameters are added to command POSITION, SD group and SD point.
Command DELETE is used to delete an existing table entry. Command
CHANGE is used to modify fields in an existing table entry.

39005665
Feature name
EDTU on DMS100i
Description
This feature provides software changes to the central controller (CC) to
allow the enhanced digital test unit (EDTU). The EDTU requires the
NT4X45AA card and four-channel loading for the card.
The EDTU replaces the digital test unit bit error ratio test (DTU BERT),
transmission test trunk (TTT), and transmission test unit (TTU)
functionalities. The EDTU emulates the DTU, TTT, or TTU depending on
the type of test required. Each virtual channel on the EDTU is equal to a
DTU, TTT, or TTU channel. A DTU has two virtual test units, while a TTT
or TTU has one virtual test unit. One EDTU can replace two DTUs, four
TTTs, four TTUs, or a combination of DTUs, TTTs, and TTUs.
BCS history
Feature 39005665 was created for BCS44.1i.
Hardware requirements
The EDTU card (NT4X45AA) is a four-channel card that resides in
integrated service module (ISM) or maintenance trunk module (MTM)
shelves.
The load file for the EDTU requires a disk drive to store volume files on the
CC. The disk drive must have space for an additional four files. Operating
company personnel create these files when using the LOADFW command
for the first time.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature has the following restrictions and limitations:
• This feature does not support the off-hook balance network test (OHBT).
• Multi-channel loading is only available for the EDTU.
• DMS100i offices have TTT and TTU test environments. The EDTU
supports DTU, but the DMS100i offices do not provide the DTU
environment.
• If the loader does not have enough resources to provide four-channel
loading, the MAP display message requests the user to try later.

AR0114

Feature name
ISUP Maintenance Enhancements II
Description
AR0114 improves robustness and performance of the ISDN user part (ISUP)
maintenance timer. This feature also enhances the use of ISUP maintenance
message buffers in the computing module (CM). This is achieved by
allowing dynamic allocation of these buffers, reducing store requirements,
and increasing the rate at which messages are sent to either of the following
peripherals:
• message switch and buffer for Common Channel Signaling 7 (MSB7)
• link peripheral processor (LPP)

BCS history
This feature was created in BCS34.
Restrictions and limitations
The maintenance messaging between the CM and the LPP is increased to 50
messages per second for offices with only LPP. The messaging rate is
increased to 30 messages per second for offices with MSB7 only and offices
in the transitory MSB7/LPP state.
This feature guarantees proper provisioning when the number of ISUP
maintenance buffers is increased, providing enough memory is available.
This feature only affects the way that ISUP handles maintenance internally.
Datafill
Table Description

OFCENG Office parameter NUMCONCURRENTISUPMTCMSGS is


deleted and replaced by dynamic allocation of maintenance
buffers.

This feature changes data store depending on the size of the ISUP
component of the office.
Logs
This feature modifies log C7UP121 by adding a message to inform the user
if there is not enough data store available to update the number of buffers for
ISUP maintenance messages.

TA0194
Feature name
Maintenance Enhancement for NTC7 MTP
Description
TA0194 implements the handling of CTUP maintenance messages with the
24-bit point code telephone label structure.
The Chinese network that uses 24-bit point code is called the NTC7
network. The NTC7 requires a message transfer part (MTP) with 24-bit
point code values.
TA0194 changes the Common Channel Signaling 7 (CCS7) maintenance
capability of Chinese telephone user part (CTUP) trunks so that the trunks
can support 24-bit point code. Without this feature, the trunks support 14-bit
point code.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS38i.
Restrictions and limitations
The maintenance of test calls is not supported.
The following messages are not supported by this feature:
• Continuity (COT)
• Continuity Check Request (CCR)
• software-generated group

The following requirements must be satisfied so that the DMS-100 switch


can support maintenance-oriented group blocking and unblocking messages:
• All CCS7 trunks on the carrier must have the same external protocol.
• All CCS7 trunks on the carrier must belong to the same routeset.
• All CCS7 trunks on the carrier must have ascending circuit identification
codes (CIC). The CICs do not have to be consecutive.
• At least ten idle CCS7 trunks on the carrier must be trunks that can be
group blocked. (Offline trunks cannot be group blocked. Non-CCS7
trunks can be on the same carrier as the CCS7 trunks.)
The following requirements must be satisfied so that the DMS-100 switch
can support hardware-oriented group blocking and unblocking messages:
• All CCS7 trunks on the carrier must have the same external protocol.
• All CCS7 trunks on the carrier must belong to the same routeset.

AF1647
Feature name
LCM Takeover Takeback Enhancement
Description
AF1647 reduces the time of pulse code modulation (PCM) transmission
breaks on stable calls during central control (CC) line concentrating module
(LCM) activity switches to 100 milliseconds. This reduction ensures that a
data application call involving a modulator demodulator (MODEM) with an
interruption of 100 milliseconds or more does not drop the call.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS28.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires the expanded memory line concentrating module
(XLCM) software load which is dependent on the NT6X51AB processor
card.
Restrictions and limitations
AF1647 increases the time required for a line concentrating module (LCM)
to perform a solicited takeover or takeback.
This feature applies only to controlled LCM activity switches (activity
switches that are requested through software).

Feature Description Manual Volume 1 of 3 BCS44.1i NTX270AA–5


NTX270AA
AF1747
Feature name
Processor Occupancy OMs for XLCM
Description
AF1747 introduces operational measurements (OM) group PMSTAT, which
provides processor occupancy measurements for the expanded memory line
concentrating module (XLCM) family of peripherals equipped with the large
memory load (256 kbyte). Processor occupancy refers to the percentage of
time the NT6X51AB card (extended LCM processor) spends working.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS35.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires the following hardware:
• NT6X51AB card (extended LCM processor) in the XLCM and
international XLCM (IXLCM)
• NTBX34AB card (ISDN line module processor upgrade) in the
enhanced line concentrating module (LCME) and small remote unit
(SRU)
Restrictions and limitations
This feature does not support the ISDN LCM (LCMI).
The functionality provided by this feature is not available with the small
memory LCM.
If the XLCM goes into takeover mode, OMs continue to be collected from
the in-service (InSv) or in-service trouble (ISTb) XLCM unit. Data
collection resumes on the busy unit as soon as it returns to service.
If the XPM from which the XLCMs are connected undergoes a warm or cold
switch of activity (SWACT), data for that 15-min period is lost.
OMs are not collected if the extended remote line concentrating module
(XRLCM), the outside plant module (OPM), or the SRU go into emergency
stand-alone (ESA) mode. Data collection resumes when ESA mode is
terminated.
Feature interactions
This feature requires features AF4194 (XLCM Overload Controls) and
NC0108 (DTSR OM Enhancements).

AF2583
Feature name
XPM RTS Enhancements
Description
AF2583 reduces the return-to-service (RTS) sequence time for any
XMS-based peripheral module (XPM) found at read-only memory (ROM).
The RTS time is reduced by eliminating excess messages and initializations
when an XPM unit with a corrupted software load is returned to service, and
when an inactive XPM unit (at ROM level with out-of-service tests) is
returned to service.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS31.
Feature interactions
AF2583 interacts with REX Test, Cold SWACT, and Warm SWACT.

Description
AF2987 provides additional field failure information on the central control
(CC) and XMS-based peripheral module (XPM), including:
• static data log detail, to provide detailed information about datafill
changes that result in static data updates
• XPM routine exercise (REX) failure information, which identifies
whether the last REX passed or failed, and places the failed node and
XPM unit into the new in-service trouble (ISTb) state REX_FAILED.
REX can now be run on an ISTb peripheral if the only ISTb is
REX_FAILED.
• XPM footprint phase II, to collect data when key events occur in the
XPM so that the cause of failure can be determined
• digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) clock-failure information, to provide
information on XPM synchronization problems
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Restrictions and limitations
The dump and restore process does not generate TUPC logs.
This feature cannot be deactivated by the operating company.
This feature does not allow an audit to return an XPM unit to service if a
failure is found during a REX test. Operating company personnel must
perform one of the following actions to return an XPM unit to service:
manual return to service, manual REX, or automated REX.
During a REX, if the failure occurs during a switch of activity (SWACT),
the side to which activity is switched is set to ISTb, with the failure reason
REX_FAILED.
Feature interactions
This feature interacts with the table editor, the command DMOPRO, warm
SWACT, and feature AJ1115 (XPM Footprint).
Datafill
This feature increases permanent store by a maximum of 1.7 Kbytes.

Logs
Logs TUPC100 to TUPC103 are added for the static data log detail portion
of this feature, as follows:
• Log TUPC100 is generated when a tuple is added in one of the specified
inventory tables.
• Log TUPC101 is generated when a tuple is deleted from one of the
specified inventory tables.
• Log TUPC102 is generated when a tuple is changed in one of the
specified tables. TUPC102 identifies the old tuple (the tuple changed
from).
• Log TUPC103 is generated when a tuple is changed in one of the
specified tables. TUPC103 identifies the new tuple (the tuple changed
to).
• Log PM189 is modified for the XPM footprint phase II portion of this
feature. PM189 is generated when the XPM is returned to service if the
XPM has lost synchronization and the CC has not acknowledged the
SYNC LOST message. PM189 is also generated whenever a large
out-of-phase reading is detected.
User interface
The output of the following commands in directory LGCDIR is modified for
the XPM REX failure information portion of this feature: QUERYPM,
QUERYPM with option FLT, and TST REX QUERY.
The command QUERYPM specifies whether the last REX test for a posted
XPM passed or failed. When an XPM unit fails during REX, command
QUERYPM with option FLT includes the in-service trouble reason REX
FAILED.
The command TST REX QUERY includes the time stamp for the last REX
that PASSED or FAILED.

AF2988
Feature name
XLCM Diagnostic Enhancements
Description
AF2988 modifies expanded line concentrating module (XLCM) diagnostics
to do the following:
• prevent complete LCM takeover when drawer faults are detected or too
many unsolicited messages report the same failing drawer. This feature
prevents both units from going down due to too many unsolicited
messages.
• diagnose overload conditions of a ring generator caused by the ring
generator or a faulty line card
• provide additional user interface information, including the system busy
reason and the diagnostic test that failed
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Hardware requirements
This feature requires expanded memory card 6X51AB with an XLCM load
(256K).
Restrictions and limitations
Only BCS32 or higher loads can be used with this feature.
During a ring generator overload condition, automatic number identification
and coin functions are not allowed on the XLCM unit with the fault.
This feature does not support mixed loads in a line concentrating equipment
(LCE) frame. LCE X, LCM X 0, and LCM X 1 must each have a large
memory load (256K).
In order to isolate faults, there must be at least one faultless ringing
generator.
Logs
Log PM181 is modified to indicate faulty hardware or the results of a
ring-generator overload diagnostic.
User interface
The command QUERYPM with option FLT in directory LCMDIR is
modified. A message is added to indicate the reason for failure.

AF2989
Feature name
XPM REX/SWACT Robustness
Description
AF2989 enhances the stability, reliability, and maintainability of central
control (CC) software and XMS-based peripheral module (XPM) software.
The main functions of this feature are:
• to analyze reported field issues involving XPM routine exercise (REX)
and switch of activity (SWACT)
• to perform code inspections of CC and XPM software responsible for
XPM REX and SWACT reliability
• to improve XPM REX and SWACT software performance
• to eliminate operational measurement pegs, minor alarms, and PM128
logs caused by the REX test
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS32.
Datafill
This feature increases permanent data store by a maximum of 1 Kbyte.
Operational measurements
As a result of removing six PM128 logs, the following registers no longer
increment:
• register PM2ERR in operational measurements (OM) group PM2
• register PMERR in OM group PM
• register PMTERR in OM group PMTYP

Logs
Six PM128 logs are replaced with log PM131. Log PM131 is generated
when the XPM node status changes to in-service trouble during a REX test.
The difference between log PM128 and log PM131 is that log PM131
provides information only; it does not generate a minor alarm.
Log PM181 is modified to highlight a REX recovery attempt and the result
of the REX recovery attempt.

AF3086
Feature name
XCLM Diags Phase II—6X54 Relay, Scan Chip
Description
AF3086 implements central control and extended line concentrating module
(XLCM) software that tests the tip/ring reversal relay on each bus interface
card (BIC) of a given XLCM. This test can be performed separately for
each logical drawer, and can be invoked manually from the MAP level or
can be scheduled to run automatically by the system.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS33.
Hardware requirements
At least one NT6X17 line card per line concentrating module (LCM) drawer
is needed to perform the tests.
Restrictions and limitations
The logical drawer is made manual busy before the system BIC relay test is
run. If lines are in a call processing busy state, the drawer is skipped for this
test cycle.
The drawer must be made manual busy by operating company personnel
before the manual BIC relay test (BRT) is run.
If at least one NT6X17 line card is not datafilled in each logical drawer, the
drawer is not tested.
This feature applies to the XLCM only and does not operate in a regular
LCM.
Feature interactions
During a test, this feature takes each drawer out of service and suspends call
processing for approximately 7 seconds.
If an automatic line test runs simultaneously with a BIC relay test, both tests
can be delayed, because they are both competing for the same test
equipment.
A forced manual busy aborts the system BRT on a given LCM.
If a routine exercise test (REX) has already started on a given LCM, the
BRT is not run on that LCM.
If an in-service test is in progress, the BRT does not run.

A new log, PM132, is generated when a relay test has been completed on a
given LCM.
User interface
A new option, RELAY, is added to the TST DRWR command at the LCM
MAP level. When RELAY is entered as an option, a BRT is run on the
specified drawer.
Additional information is added to the QUERYPM FLT command. This
information is displayed only if one or more drawers have failed the BRT. It
also provides a list of all the drawers that have failed the BRT and are set to
in-service trouble.
A new command, BICRELAY, is added to allow the BIC relay test to be
enabled, disabled, reset, allowed, disallowed, or queried for the entire office.

module (LCM) peripheral and its variants (LCM, ILCM, CCMI, ELCM, and
LCME). Enhancements are made in the areas of LCM and emergency
stand-alone (ESA), independent LCM REX tests, MAP commands for
manual REX tests, fault indicators, REX test maintenance records, and MAP
commands to access REX test failure results.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS33.
Restrictions and limitations
Both units of the LCM must be either in the in-service state or in-service
state trouble before the LCM REX tests can be run.
A manual REX test performed on an LCM equipped with an ESA does not
invoke the ESA REX as part of the LCM REX.
An LCM equipped with an ESA that fails a system-scheduled REX test does
not invoke the ESA REX test.
A successful audit does not try to clear an in-service trouble flag with REX
failure as a reason.
A restart reload erases the data stored in the maintenance record while a
warm or cold restart does not alter the data.
Logs
Log PM128 is generated upon completion of the REX indicating the status
(passed, failed, aborted, or terminated) of the units.
Log PM128 is also generated if a REX subtest fails with the reason REX
FAILED.
User interface
Command TST in directory LCMDIR is modified to provide direct access to
REX testing. REX testing can be enabled, disabled, queried, or activated on
one posted LCM. The REX subcommand does not support the ALL option.

AF5007
Feature name
XPM Pre-SWACT/Post-SWACT Audit
Description
AF5007 enhances the existing audit that occurs before a switch of activity
(SWACT), creates a centralized SWACT controller, creates a post-SWACT
audit, and implements a SWACT back capability. The overall purpose of
this feature is to reduce extended multiprocessor system (XMS)-based
peripheral module (XPM) outages by preventing a SWACT (whether
initiated manually or by the system) if the inactive unit is deemed unreliable.
AF5007 also checks to see if the newly active unit can communicate with
the central control (CC) after a SWACT, and performs a SWACT back to the
previously active unit if the newly active unit cannot communicate.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS35.
BCS36—Changed
Restrictions and limitations
The warm SWACT enhancements are supported on the following XPMs:
• line trunk controller (LTC) and LTC with unified processor (UP)
(LTC+), without an ISDN signaling preprocessor (ISP)
• line group controller (LGC) and LGC with UP (LGC+), without an ISP
• digital trunk controller (DTC), DTC with UP (DTC+), without an ISP
• CCS7 digital trunk controller (DTC7)
• remote cluster controller (RCC) and RCC with UP (RCC+)
• ISDN RCC (RCCI+)
• subscriber carrier module–100 rural (SMR)
• subscriber carrier module–100S (SMS)
• subscriber carrier module–100 urban (SMU), without an ISP
• subscriber carrier module–100S remote (SMS–R)

The warm SWACT enhancements are supported on the following commands


at the PM level of the MAP terminal attempting a warm SWACT:
• SWACT <no option>
• SWACT ALL
• SWACT FORCE
• SWACT NOW
• SWACT TEST
• BSY UNIT <unit_no> (where unit_no is the active unit)

• BSY ACTIVE
• TST REX NOW (provided by feature AF5008, XPM REX Control and
Trouble Notification Improvements)
The following are also supported:
• REX initiated by the system
• warm SWACT initiated by the XPM

In the event of a SWACT back, all calls made after the SWACT and before
completion of the SWACT back are taken down.
The system cannot automatically recognize that a card has been replaced to
repair a fault on which the SWACT controller bases a SWACT decision.
If the fault is a fault used by the SWACT controller and stored in the history
database in the CC (by feature AF5006, PM Diagnostic History), the
SWACT controller continues to deny a SWACT to the unit for which the
fault was repaired until the fault counters for that unit are cleared. The
operating company personnel must cause that unit to successfully gain
activity to clear the fault counters. Option FORCE of command SWACT
can be used for this purpose.
If the fault is used by the SWACT controller and stored in the status
information in the XPM (by feature AF5006), the SWACT controller
continues to deny a SWACT to the unit for which the fault was repaired until
the fault indicators for that unit are cleared. The XPM must run the
appropriate diagnostics and these must pass for the fault indicator to be
cleared.
Operational measurements (OM) and peg counts are not reinitialized
following a SWACT back. Data will be lost for the 5-s time period that it
may take to SWACT and SWACT back.
When a SWACT back occurs, no OM counts for the two transfers of activity
(SWACT and SWACT back) are incremented. Affected counters are as
follows:
• PM2MWXFR Peripheral Module Dual-unit Manual Warm Transfer
• PM2SWXFR Peripheral Module Dual-unit System Warm Transfer
• PMMWXFR Peripheral Module Manual Warm Transfer
• PMSWXFR Peripheral Module System Warm Transfer

This feature is not functional without prior loading of the BCS35


communications module (CM) load.

The existing PM181 log that reports a SWACT is enhanced to report that a
SWACT override occurs when personnel use option FORCE of command
SWACT MAP to override the SWACT controller’s denial of a SWACT.
PM181 log is enhanced as follows:
• When users override the SWACT controller, the log indicates which user
name performed the override.
• The log that indicates whether a SWACT passed, failed, or aborted
contains an override string when appropriate.
• When a SWACT back occurs, the log indicates XPM SWACT Back.

AF5008
Feature name
XPM REX Control and Trouble Notification Improvements
Description
AF5008 creates log PM600 (REX Failed), which is produced upon routine
exercise (REX) failure. The log is a record of each maintenance action
performed during REX, the extended multiprocessor system (XMS)-based
peripheral module (XPM) unit affected, and the time each action began. The
log includes the failure reason and, if applicable, supplemental data
consisting of the failed diagnostics and card list reported by the XPM. This
feature significantly reduces the number of logs produced during REX. This
feature also allows REX to use the enhanced pre-activity switch (SWACT)
query and SWACT back created by feature AF5007 (XPM
Pre-SWACT/Post-SWACT Audit).
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS35.
BCS36—Changed
Restrictions and limitations
The system REX runs on only one XPM at a time if the office uses the NT40
processor. SuperNode supports concurrent REXs for up to ten XPMs with
the same REX test class: line group controller (LGC), remote cluster
controller (RCC), subscriber carrier module–100S remote (SMS–R), and
message switch and buffer (MSB).
A REX can be run only on a unit in one of the following states:
• in service (InSv)
• in-service trouble (ISTb) due to REX failed
• ISTb due to peripheral-side (P-side) DS-1 links of carrier type trunk
OOS (out of service)
If a warm SWACT is not possible, REX terminates rather than performing a
cold SWACT.
REX does not fail as a result of the pre-SWACT audit for the following
peripheral types that do not support the audit:
• message switch and buffer CCIS6 (MSB6)
• message switch and buffer CCIS7 (MSB7)
• subscriber module access (SMA)
• Traffic Operator Position System (TOPS) message switch (TMS)
• small-memory digital trunk controller (DTC)

Feature Description Manual Volume 1 of 3 BCS44.1i NTX270AA–29


NTX270AA
AF5008
After successful completion of the REX, the XPM has a new active unit due
to the SWACT.
Operational measurements (OM) normally generated for certain system
actions are suppressed if REX initiates these actions.
The last REX date and time stored in the maintenance record may be due to
either a system REX or manual REX, and is measured from the last system
reload restart.
The REX maintenance record does not survive BCS applications.
If a restart occurs while REX is in progress, log PM600 is not generated,
because the restart aborts the REX and deallocates the temporary data store
used to build the PM600.
The capture and MAP display of diagnostics that fail during XPM REX
applies to all XPMs.
Log PM600 and associated log reduction provided by this feature applies to
the following XPMs:
• line trunk controller (LTC) and LTC with unified processor (UP) (LTC+)
• line group controller (LGC) and LGC with UP (LGC+)
• digital trunk controller (DTC), DTC with UP (DTC+), DTC7
• remote cluster controller (RCC), RCC with UP (RCC+), and ISDN RCC
with UP (RCCI+)
• subscriber carrier module–100S (SMS) and SMS with UP (SMS+)
• subscriber carrier module–100 access (SMA)
• subscriber carrier module–100 remote (SMR)
• subscriber carrier module–100 urban (SMU) and SMU with UP (SMU+)
• enhanced subscriber carrier module–100 urban (ESMU)
• subscriber carrier module–100S remote (SMS–R) and SMS-R with UP
(SMS-R+)
No SWACT controller override is provided for REX.
Feature interactions
This feature requires feature AF5007 (XPM Pre-SWACT/Post-SWACT
Audit) for REX to use the enhanced pre-SWACT audit, post-SWACT audit,
and SWACT back capability.

Logs
Log PM600 (REX Failed) is produced if a REX fails. The log is a record of
each action performed during REX (BSY, RTS, TST, SWACT, pre-SWACT,
or SYNC), which unit the action affected, when the action was initiated, the
failure reason, and supplemental data consisting of diagnostics that failed,
applicable card list, or list of problems detected by the pre-SWACT audit.
Log PM600 allows the suppression of multiple logs during REX (a REX
pass produces 3 logs instead of 17; a REX failed produces 3 logs instead of
up to 32 logs).
User interface
REX failure reasons are updated to specify, if applicable, the unit with a
failure and the diagnostics that failed. If REX fails during the pre-SWACT
step, TST REX QUERY displays the reason for pre-SWACT failure.

AJ1039
Feature name
XPM Data Management Robustness
Description
AJ1039 provides additional audits and checks to ensure data consistency in
the XMS-based peripheral module (XPM) and central control (CC), as
follows:
• expands the non-resident tool, LTCCH, to display XPM peripheral side
(P-side) information
• provides an audit on the XPM central side (C-side) to ensure that a
terminal is not holding more than one channel
• speeds up XPM node translation table transfer when the inactive unit is
returned to service, and makes the transfer process more robust
• blocks data sync and transfer of the node translation table between the
inactive and active unit when the inactive unit is returned to service
• notifies the CC when node table mismatch is encountered between the
active and inactive unit
• controls static data audit over data changes

BCS history
This feature was created in BCS31.
Restrictions and limitations
The non-resident tool, LTCCH, applies only to line trunk controllers (LTC)

Called Party Control via Translations
Description
This feature allows the controlling party of a call (called, calling, or mutual)
to be identified by translations.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS29.
Restrictions and limitations
Changes to table CTRLTMRS are not allowed.
Universal Translation classes OPRA and IOPRA always use 0 (zero) for
reanswer and preanswer times, and this value cannot be changed.
Flash features are denied with called party control except for Malicious Call
Trace and Emergency Services Group.
With calling party control, if the reanswer timeout has a value of 0 (zero),
and the called party goes on-hook, there is no reanswer timing, and the call
is terminated.
With called party control, a call is under calling party control until the called
party answers. This process prevents a call being defined as called party
control if a call is diverted to announcement or treatment.
Line to trunk calls using signaling systems that do not support called control
features revert to calling control.
This feature is not supported for line calls under emergency stand-alone
(ESA) operation, calls from lines to treatment, or incoming trunk calls.
Feature interactions
Calls using call diversion (CDIV) are retranslated, and use call treatment
option associated with the new destination.
Calls to lines with call waiting (CWT), three-way calling (3WC), six-way
calling (6WC), and call transfer (ICT) features are under calling party
control.
Calls to lines with emergency services group (ESG) are under called party
control.
Incoming calls to lines with the Free Number Terminating (FNT) feature
will time-out after the preanswer period specified in table CTRLTMRS.

Immediate Billing
Description
This feature provides the capability to generate time and charge information
for incoming trunk calls to a DMS-200 toll office on international
centralized automatic message accounting (ICAMA) trunks and works along
with programmable R2 trunk signaling. The time and charge information is
provided as soon as the call is completed.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS38i.
Restrictions and limitations
Since there are 21 Attendant Pay Station (APS) logs in the log system, time
and charge information reports can be routed to a maximum of 21 output
devices.

Unanswered calls and calls for which no charges are incurred are logged
only if the office parameter APS_REPORT_ALL_CALLS is set to Y.

Office parameter CALL_REPORT_FORMAT in table OFCVAR must be set


to LOG for the generation of the log reports.

This feature can be applied only to incoming trunks providing ICAMA


billing.

The field ANI_SNPA in table TRKGRP must be set to Y in order to include


the Serving Number Plan Area (SNPA) in the automatic number
identification (ANI) digits. If SNPA is not prefixed to the ANI digits, then
the office is not able to identify from which line this call is originated and
cannot provide a log report through the expected route.
Feature interactions
The SNPA for the ANI digits should be prefixed to the ANI digits in order to
route the logs correctly. This is achieved by using the feature TA0166
(Flexible ANI Enhancements).

All interactions that are present for feature AG1108 (APS-I) also apply for
this feature.
Logs
The number of APS logs is increased from 13 to 21 and APS became a log
report in the range APS113 to APS120.

when the call is on trunks that use a multifrequency compelled (MFC)
register signaling system, such as CCITT R2
• the CALLCRTL option for trunk-to-trunk and trunk-to-line calls.
CALLCTRL is used to specify which party has control of the call:
CALLED, CALLING, or MUTUAL.
• a new traffic class (Tandem CAMA [TNCA]) for MTR trunk groups
• a new office parameter in table OFCVAR, to specify whether automatic
number identification (ANI) information will be sent on R2 trunks with a
traffic class other than CAMA or TNCA
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS30.
Restrictions and limitations
This feature applies only to international software.
The calling party is held in line-to-line calls.
Log MCT102 does not identify the directory number of the caller on
interoffice calls over non-MFC trunks. It shows only the common language
location identifier (CLLI) of the incoming trunk.
If a call to a line with Malicious Call Trace (MCT) is under CALLED party
control and the caller hangs up before MCT is activated, metering continues
until the trunk is force-released.
Metering of the MCT call at the originating office will not be terminated
when MCT is activated on an in-office call.
For calls terminating on an International Traffic Operator Position System
(ITOPS), option CALLCTRL must be set to CALLED in the Universal
Translations tables.
Calls to lines with the emergency service group (ESG) option must have
CALLCTRL set to CALLED to have called party control. The re-ring
capability is only available under CALLED party control
Calls terminating on CH02 trunks must have CALLCTRL set to CALLED
to have called party control.

BF0674
Feature name
Malicious Call Trace for Subscriber Lines
Description
BF0674 allows the administration to trace and identify the originators of
malicious calls. The trace is initiated by the subscriber who receives the
malicious call.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS20.
Restrictions and limitations
Malicious Call Trace (MCT) and Free Number Termination (FNT) cannot
both be assigned to the same subscriber line.
For MCT to operate, all trunks involved in the malicious call must be
capable of transmitting destination control request (DCR) and MCT signals.
NTLS09 trunks support DCR and MCT signals. If a call goes through
NTLS09 trunks, then through non-NTLS09 trunks before terminating on the
subscriber line, no office will act on a request to trace the call. If the call
first goes through non-NTLS09 trunks then through NTLS09 trunks, only
the NTLS09 trunks are held.
If a restart is applied while MCT is active, the messages are lost and the
trace is unsuccessful. If the restart is applied after MCT is activated, the
held party can be released before the call is traced.
If Toll Break-in (TBI) is applied after MCT is activated but while the parties
are still connected, the caller can hang up but does not receive any calls until
the trunk is released.
Lines or trunks held because of MCT activation are released if a switch of
activity (SWACT) is applied to either XMS-based peripheral module (XPM)
involved in the hold, with the following exceptions:
• in a line-to-line call (in different international line group controllers
(ILGC))
• in a trunk-to-line call

AC0136
Feature name
International Call Diversion Enhancements
Description
AC0136 enhances current call-diversion capabilities as follows:
• Calls to subscribers with international Call Diversion on Busy (CDB) are
diverted only if the subscriber is busy on another call.
• Subscribers who have international Call Diversion Fixed (CDF) are no
longer responsible for programming the target number (TN). TNs will
be specified by the subscriber but programmed by the administration.
This will prevent the accidental reprogramming of the TN by the
subscriber.
• While international Do Not Disturb (IDND) is active, all calls to the
subscriber’s line are diverted to treatment. This feature is available on
all standard lines and can be activated or deactivated by a subscriber.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS23.
Restrictions and limitations
CDB, CDF, or IDND cannot be activated if another call-diversion feature is
already active on the line.
Only one call will be diverted at a time. Other incoming calls will receive
busy treatment.
CDB, CDF, and IDND are not available on coin lines or dial pulse (DP)
lines.
CDB and CDF are not available on standard lines.
CDB and CDF are incompatible with Free Number Termination (FNT).
CDB and CDF are incompatible with Subscriber Premise Meter (SPM). If a
caller has the SPM option, the called party will be unable to flash and will
therefore be unable to activate CDB or CDF during the call.
When the diversion number is programmed, it is checked for restrictions but
is not validated. The operating company personnel is responsible for
ensuring that valid routing information is entered.
IDND is available on all lines and is not a charge feature.
If the RTE selector is used in call diversion for CDB or CDF, no leg of the
call is charged.

Feature Description Manual Volume 1 of 3 BCS44.1i NTX499AA–13


NTX499AA
AC0136
A maximum of five call-diversion legs are allowed within one office. If
there are more than five legs to a diverted call, the call will receive busy
treatment.
Calls originating from operator trunks will not be diverted.
All IDND activation information is lost during office reloads and cold
restarts. Consequently, IDND will become inactive on all lines until
reactivated by subscribers.

CEPT Hot and Warm Line
Description
BC2261 implements Hot Line (HTL) and Warm Line (WLN) features for a
DMS-100 switch outside North America. HTL and WLN allow a subscriber
to call a predetermined directory number (DN) without dialing any digits.
WLN also allows the subscriber to override the predetermined DN and place
a call to another DN.
HTL and WLN are assigned and programmed by the administration. WLN
can also be programmed, activated, and deactivated by the subscriber.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS22.
Restrictions and limitations
HTL is incompatible with WLN.
Abbreviated Dialing (ADL) and WLN are incompatible with HTL.
HTL cannot be assigned to coin lines.
WLN is available on standard lines only.
No routing or translation verification is done when the target number (TN) is
programmed.

Feature name
Call Diversion No Answer (CDNA)
Description
This feature implements call diversion on no answer (CDNA), call diversion
on no answer fixed (CDNAF), and call diversion on busy fixed (CDBF)
options for the DMS-100 Family of switches.
CDNA diverts incoming calls to a designated subscriber if the called
subscriber does not answer in a prescribed time. The subscriber may
activate, deactivate, query, and program CDNA.
CDNAF diverts incoming calls to a designated subscriber if the called
subscriber does not answer in a prescribed time. The subscriber may
activate, deactivate, and query CDNAF.
CDBF diverts incoming calls to a designated subscriber when the called
subscriber line is busy. The subscriber may activate, deactivate, and query
CDBF.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS39i.
Restrictions and limitations
If glare occurs on the selected trunk while CDNA or CDNAF is active, no
reattempt is made and call diversion fails.
The administration is responsible for providing routing information when
programming CDNAF and CDBF. Subscriber programming of CDNA
overrides administration programming and the subscriber is responsible for
providing routing information.
Only one call is diverted at a time. If either CDNA, CDNAF, or CDBF is
active, other incoming calls receive a busy treatment.
Calls originating on one the following types of trunks are not diverted:
• an operator trunk
• MTC_EQ category trunk

Toll Break-in (TBI) calls take precedence over call diversion; calls from
operator trunks receive a busy treatment.
A maximum of five call diversion legs within one office are allowed for
CDNA, CDNAF, and CDBF. Calls attempting more than five legs receive a
busy treatment.

CDNA, CDNAF, and CDBF legs created using the route (RTE) selector are
not metered.
On multifrequency (MF) and dial pulse (DP) trunks, a gap occurs in the
ring-back tone applied from the terminating end during the call setup time of
the second leg.
Active features on the line may impose restrictions on a subscriber’s ability
to activate, deactivate, query, or program CDNA, CDNAF, and CDBF
during a two-port call.
CDA, CDF, CDO, and CDS cannot be active simultaneously with CDB,
CDBF, CDNA, or CDNAF.
Call diversion options can be activated for only 10% of the maximum
number of subscribers in an office.
Suspension (SUS) takes precedence over call diversion.
Hunt groups can have call diversion, but only one call from each directory
number may be diverted at a time. When a call is being diverted, a busy
signal is applied to other incoming calls.
Subscribers can divert calls to, but not from, lines with the following
features activated:
• Hot Line (HTL)
• Warm Line (WLN)
• Free Number Termination (FNT) line

This feature is incompatible with subscriber premise meter (SPM) options.


When Malicious Call Trace (MCT) is performed on calls diverted by CDNA
and CDNAF over interoffice trunks, the call is traced back to the line which
diverts the call.
Feature interactions
This feature requires feature AC0136 (International Call Diversion
Enhancements).
CDB, when activated, overrides Call Waiting (CWT) on a line equipped

IESA Enhanced Recovery
Description
This feature provides automatic recovery of International Emergency Stand
Alone (IESA) static data. During maintenance, if the IESA static data
becomes corrupted, automatic recovery is called. The IESA static data is
restored and maintenance continues to recover the IESA static data.
This feature ensures that the ESA does not stay in system busy (SysB) state
if the IESA static data is corrupted. It also saves system resources by
preventing unnecessary running of the automatic system maintenance.
Automatic recovery is provided during the following maintenance actions:
• Automatic REX testing of the ESA function
• Automatic and manual REX testing of the International Remote Line
Concentrating Module (IRLCM)
• nightly update process for ESA
• Exiting from ESA mode
• return to service (RTS) process of ESA after busying
• RTS process at the IRLCM

If the IESA static data is corrupted while one of these maintenance actions is
running, the ESA Data Recovery step is added to the existing steps that
maintenance actions require before the ESA Data Build step.

While the IESA static data is being updated or recovered, it is considered as


corrupt. There is no need for automatic recovery when this type of
corruption exists because as soon as updating or recovering is accomplished,
the data is considered as correct. If a maintenance process is running during
update or recovery the maintenance fails and the ESA goes to the SysB state
at the end of each maintenance period until the IESA static data has
corrected itself.

This feature was created in BCS39i.

• other maintenance actions are taking place
• datafill combinations have been entered that do not allow automatic
recovery
Logs
This feature modifies the PM181 to provide additional messages relating to
ESA static data. Under SysB conditions the PM181 information log is
generated and explanation messages are displayed at the appropriate level of
the maintenance and administration position (MAP). The log message also
indicates whether automatic recovery is successful or not.
User interface
If a customer interface (CI) command is rejected due to IESA static data
corruption an appropriate message is displayed at the MAP. Explanatory
messages are also displayed at the appropriate MAP level if ESA goes into
the SysB state and during automatic recovery.

Feature name
CTUP original called address (OCA)
Description
This feature provides the original called address (OCA) parameter.
Operating company personnel can enter data for the OCA and the calling
line identity (CLI) in the initial address message with additional information
(IAI).
This feature applies to the following interworkings:
• line to Chinese telephone user part (CTUP)
• CTUP to CTUP
• CTUP to ISDN user part (ISUP)
• CTUP to C1
• CTUP to primary rate interface (PRI)
• CTUP to basic rate interface (BRI)

The OCA feature operates when subscriber A calls subscriber B, and


subscriber B diverts the call to subscriber C. The IAI message includes the
OCA parameter. The subsequent office receives the call with the
information about the call if table C7IAIOPT already contains the OCA
data.
For a toll-tandem office, the system originates the general request message
(GRQ) if the switch does not receive CLI.
For a toll office, the system originates GRQ if the switch does not receive
CLI or OCA. The switch sends the initial address message (IAM) on the
outgoing calls on the originating toll office. If the system receives either
CLI or OCA, a GRQ message is not necessary.
For a redirection office, if a line has option CDNA, the system originates
GRQ/general forward setup information message (GSM). For other options,
the system does not originate GRQ/GSM.
For a local office, the system sends the IAM for local diverted calls.

Feature name
Semi-permanent Connections
Description
This feature implements semi-permanent connections (SPC). An SPC is a
connection that is defined and set up or taken down by operating company
personnel. The subscriber has no control over SPC set up or take down, but
does have the use of the speech or data path provided by the SPC. An SPC
is used in situations such as the setting up of computer link connections.
Line signaling type NTLS14, that ignores signaling, is introduced.
Signaling is not required because set up and take down are controlled by the
operating company.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS24.
Restrictions and limitations
Lines datafilled as SPC do not support line features.
SPC agents are not available for any calls other than SPC calls.
SPCs cannot be hunt group members.
An SPC cannot be metered. The administration is responsible for
determining billing for an SPC.
Feature interactions
This feature relies on line and trunk audits to update the status of SPC line
and trunk agents.

Operational measurements
The operational measurements (OM) group SPC is added to measure the
number of successful and unsuccessful SPC attempts. The following events
are pegged, for each office, in the indicated OM registers (in parentheses):
• Connection attempt (SPCNTCAT). Administration has requested the
establishment of an SPC by table control.
• Successful connection (SPCNTCSU). An administration-initiated SPC
attempt has been successful.
• Administration disconnection (SPCDISCTC). An SPC has been
disconnected by an administration request.
• Audit connection recovery (SPCNAUAT). An audit has detected an
SPC that should be connected and is not, and has attempted to establish
the connection.
• Audit recovery successful (SPCNAUSU). An audit has successfully
established an SPC that should of been connected and was not.
• Audit disconnection (SPCDISCAU). An audit has detected an SPC that
should have been idle and was not, and has returned the SPC to the idle
state.
Logs
The following logs are implemented to provide information on SPCs:
• The SPC100 (SPC activation) log indicates that an SPC has been
activated.
• The SPC101 (SPC deactivation) log indicates that an SPC has been
taken down due to a datafill change.
• The SPC101 (SPC failure) log indicates that an SPC has been taken
down due to a failure. This log includes the reason for the failure.

International Network Management
Description
AC0132 implements the Group controls aspect of Network Management
(NWM). NWM allows network managers to supervise and control the flow
of traffic through an office.
The following types of controls are available to international offices:
• Cancel To (CANT), which limits calls over selected two-way and
outgoing trunk groups
• Cancel From (CANF), which limits calls overflowing from selected
two-way and outgoing trunk groups
• Directional Reservation Equipment (DRE), which reserves a number of
idle trunks in a group for incoming traffic and routes outgoing traffic to
the next trunk in the chain
• Incoming Trunk Busy (ITB), which restricts incoming traffic to a switch
by selectively removing from service a percentage of incoming trunks
that have the Remote-Make-Busy capability
• Protective Reservation Equipment (PRE), which is similar to DRE,
except that PRE can be applied to both two-way and outgoing trunks.
• Skip Control (SKIP), which limits traffic offered to selected two-way
and outgoing trunk groups
• Selective Trunk Reservation (STR), which monitors the traffic in an
outgoing trunk group and reroutes or blocks calls if the traffic level
becomes too high
The controls are applied by entering GRPCTRL commands at the NWM
level of the MAP (maintenance and administration) display.
BCS history
This feature was created in BCS23.
Restrictions and limitations
Parameter NWM_STR_CTRL in table OFCOPT must be set to Y (yes) to
