\fIGeneral operational requirements\fR
.LP
If diverting a call lengthens the
post\(hydialling
delay
experienced by a caller, it may be necessary to advise the caller
that his call is being diverted.
.LP
If
diverting a call
would result in the caller
having to pay additional charges, a warning should be given to the caller
before the call is diverted.
.LP
To minimize complaints from called subscribers and callers for wrongly
programmed call transfers, some check should be provided.
.LP
Difficulties may arise if a subscriber receiving diverted
calls diverts them again to yet another number.
.bp
.LP
Some subscribers may, instead of using an absent subscriber service, use
answering machines
on their own premises. Some
Administrations may also decide to provide such facilities at
the exchange. The degree of sophistication provided may vary
considerably. Some may only give a fixed announcement common to
all customers using the service, others may allow messages to
be recorded. Which type is used and to what extent may vary from
one country to another according to the technological or social
situation.
.LP
A large majority of customers will accept a reply by a
recorded announcement as a satisfactory alternative to an operator.
.LP
Certain categories of subscribers (e.g.\ doctors) have
special requirements and prefer a service especially adapted to
their professional field. This may be a manual answering service
provided by the Administration, or by a private agency or
special arrangements for diversion to other numbers.
.LP
Calls should only be diverted if the resulting standards of transmission
are adequate.
.LP
When the service is activated the special dial tone may be given to the
controlling subscriber.

\fIDescription\fR
.LP
Do not disturb services are used by subscribers that do not wish to be
disturbed by incoming calls for a certain period of
time. They can request that incoming calls are diverted to an

\fIGeneral operational requirements\fR
.LP
It is in the interest of the Administration if calling
subscribers can leave messages and be informed:
.LP
\(em
of the reason for
call diversion
.LP
\(em
when the number can be reached again
.LP
\(em
where more information can be obtained.
.LP
In this way incoming calls are answered and can be charged and ineffective
new attempts are avoided.
.LP
Automatic deactivation
is desirable because no
indication is given to the called subscriber when incoming calls arrive.
.LP
Administrations should provide an attractive form of do not disturb service
in order to avoid undesirable subscriber forms of
the service.
.LP
The time during which a do not disturb service can be
activated should be limited.
.LP
The automatic forms of the service are preferred.
.LP
Outgoing calls should normally be possible.
.bp
.LP
When the service is activated a
special dial tone
may be given for outgoing calls reminding the service holder of the special
condition of his line.
.LP
If during a period when the facility is in operation, the
renter requires to know whether a message has been left, a special
code may be allocated for this purpose, or a
password
agreed with
the exchange may be used.

A subscriber who does not wish incoming calls to his number to be unsuccessful
because he is busy speaking, can instruct the

\fIGeneral operational requirements\fR
.LP
As services permit the completion of calls which would
otherwise have met busy conditions, increased revenue and a better
use of the available equipment may result.
.LP
Services may be of value for a subscriber whose line or
lines are occasionally overloaded.
.LP
In conventional switching systems it is not possible to
change the routing of a call in the switching network itself. It
is therefore necessary in those circumstances to divert it from the
diverting number. If limitations of transmission or charging
justify it, it may be necessary to refuse a diversion request to a
nominated number too far from the diverting exchange, and possibly
divert the call to the operator, or a recorded announcement.
.LP
While a service is activated under subscriber's control it may be desirable
to return a warning indication to the diverting
termination.
.LP
The number to which the incoming call is diverted need not belong to
the controlling subscriber.
.LP
It may be necessary to advise the caller that his call is
being diverted if the post\(hydialling delay is lengthened by diversion.
.LP
From the Administration's point of view use of a service
should not be allowed to perpetuate the unsatisfactory situation
where a subscriber has basically an inadequate incoming traffic
capacity.
.LP
An appropriate indication should be returned to the caller if diversion
causes call charges greater than those that would have
applied if the call had been connected normally to the diverting
number.

\fIDefinition\fR
.LP
A subscriber can be allocated a special (freephone) number and the charge
for all calls to this number are paid by him
instead of by the callers.
\v'3p'
.LP
2)
\fIDescription\fR
.LP
Subscribers who wish to pay for calls made to them can rent a special
freephone number. Calls made to this freephone number are
routed either to the subscriber's existing telephone number or on
to access lines specifically provided for the purpose of receiving
freephone calls.
\v'3p'
.LP
3)
\fIRemarks\fR
.LP
A freephone service can be provided across international
boundaries. CCITT recommendations regarding
billing and accounting
arrangements
may be required.
.LP
Where an international freephone service is provided
i.e.\ where callers in one country can, by dialling a freephone
number in that country, gain access to a destination address
(service provider) in another country, international requirements
dictate that the called number must return an answer signal over
the international network to the freephone network of the
originating country.
.LP
Many networks are protected by a \*Qtime\(hyout\*U where calls
are cleared if the answer signal is not received within a
pre\(hydetermined time. Depending on the arrangements by which
freephone service is provided the \*Qtime\(hyout\*U condition may need
to be removed from the part of the network between the caller
and the equipment offering the basic freephone facility in
his country. Basic freephone facilities can be provided by a freephone
exchange or network of exchanges to provide freephone number
translation and call routing, absorption of answer
billing/accounting information and network management statistics.
These facilities may be provided as an integral part of modern
digital networks.
.LP
Freephone subscribers may place particular value on numbers which are
easy to remember. However, this may entail the
allocation of
hypothetical numbers
and the provision of
translation facilities
which may only prove economic when
sited at
nodal centres
.

\fIGeneral operational requirements\fR
.LP
The
freephone number format
should be consistent
with the national number format of the country. The
freephone code
should be standard for the whole of the country (e.g.\ 800 in USA) and
where possible the same code should be used to provide national
and international freephone service.
.LP
Network management arrangements should pay particular
attention to the need to prevent congestion in the network,
particularly in relation to applications involving response to
television quiz games or advertising campaigns, etc.
.LP
Subscribers should be required to rent adequate access lines to meet
demand and minimize ineffective attempts. The freephone
service is liable to misuse and subscribers should be warned of
this liability and expect to bear any resulting call charges.
Regards should be made to the limitation of
payphones
in the
various systems.
\v'3p'
.LP
6)
\fICharging principles\fR
.LP
6.1)
National charging arrangements will depend on the
limitations of the arrangements used to provide the freephone
facilities. A single freephone centre may for example use path
of entry to determine the area from which the call originated and
charge accordingly.
.LP
A freephone network may determine charging on the basis of
distance between the node at which the freephone call enters
the network and the node in which the freephone service is
connected. There are other alternatives.
.LP
6.2)
International charging arrangements require a method of
billing a service provider in another country and may also require
special accounting arrangements. There are 3 basic methods:
.LP
a)
The originating Administration provides the
destination Administration with the billing information
relating to freephone calls to service providers in the
destination country. The destination Administration would
then bill the service provider for call charges and account
the calls as if they were originated in the destination
country, (a procedure similar to the billing and accounting
.LP
of collect calls). A
special accounting rate
might be
required to reimburse the country of origin for the cost of
providing the freephone facility.
.LP
b)
The originating Administration would require the
service provider in the destination country to provide a
legal representative in the country of origin to which the
bill for call charges could be sent. The calls would be
accounted as ordinary outgoing international direct dialling (IDD) calls.
.LP
c)
The originating Administration would send the bill
directly to the service provider's address in the destination
country. The calls will be accounted as ordinary IDD calls.

According to the manner of realization of the services,
consideration should be given to:
.LP
\(em
the length of the time during which the system attempts to set up a call,
.LP
\(em
the frequency of the
attempts to complete a
call
in order to avoid congesting the network unnecessarily,
.LP
\(em
the recall sequence to ensure that the calling
subscriber has answered the recall before the called subscriber is
rung.
.LP
Special measures may be necessary to ensure that the
operation of the service does not interfere with normal outgoing
and incoming service on both lines.
.LP
Special consideration should be given to the requirements
when one or both subscribers are involved in diversion
arrangements.
.LP
Special consideration should be given to the provision of
the services to special categories of subscriber lines,
e.g.\ payphones, PBX lines with DDI, etc.
.LP
It appears more convenient to adopt a realization of the
service based on a continuous check of the called subscriber's
state in order to set up the connection as soon as possible
(called party free). This realization is only feasible for
subscribers belonging to the same exchange or different exchanges
of an SPC type and connected by advanced signalling systems. This
condition is not, at present, the general case.
.LP
Though provision of the service is likely to be advantageous both from
the Administration and the subscriber's point of view,
the numerous operational and technical problems associated with the
automatic services will make them very difficult to provide in the
near future.
.LP
When the service is activated the line of the called party is continuously
tested. When this line becomes free the calling
party is rung and when he answers the called party is rung.
.LP
It may be necessary to advise the calling party which call completion
is being offered (if, for example, the service has been
activated on more than one call).
.LP
The number of call completions activated at the same time to the line
of a called busy party may be limited, e.g.\ to one.

\fIGeneral Description\fR
.LP
Recent advances in technology have allowed the voice mailbox to evolve
and market research has indicated a potential for this type
of service.
.LP
The
renter of a mailbox
(subscriber) is provided
with a
mailbox telephone number
which he can publicize to customers,
clients, business associates, friends,\ etc.
.LP
Callers are answered by a personalized announcement which
can either invite the caller to leave a message or impart information.
.LP
As an optional feature of VMS, the mailbox may
be programmed to alert a
radiopager
each time a message is left in
the mailbox or to call certain telephone numbers and deliver messages.
.LP
The subscriber may retrieve his messages either from a
push button
phone by dialling the same number as callers and then
entering a security code and system command or, by dialling an
alternative number (known only to him) from a rotary dial phone.
.LP
Retrieval from
push button phones
allows
sophisticated control of message playback and mailbox facilities, e.g.\
repeat message, retain message, switch pager on/off, switch recording
service on/off, change personalized announcement, etc. These
facilities can be provided from rotary dial phones if the subscriber
has a hand\(hyheld tone generator. Otherwise retrieval from
rotary dial
phones
may be limited to simple one\(hytime playback of all messages
in the mailbox.
.LP
Systems may allow tailoring of individual mailboxes to
meet subscribers' needs regarding message length, number of messages
stored at any one time, retention period, etc.
.LP
The number of simultaneous calls to a subscriber's mailbox is limited
only by the capacity of the VMS equipment, e.g.\ a 32 port
system could theoretically be handling 32 simultaneous calls to the
same mailbox number.
\v'3p'
.LP

\fIRemarks\fR
.LP
VMS offers the following benefits:
.LP
\(em
elimination of successive reciprocal call attempts in order to establish
a single communication;

\(em
elimination of time\(hyzone constraints;
.LP
\(em
optional indication on a radiopager whenever a message is left;

\(em
access to people on the move;

usage sensitive billing may be introduced to account for variations
in message length, message holding time, overcalls and computer
resource usage.

serving a subscriber
, on receipt of a call to that subscriber's general
directory number.
\v'3p'
.LP
2)
\fIDescription\fR
.LP
Line hunting may take the following two main forms:
.LP
a)
sequential search where the search for a free line always
starts with the same line and then follows a fixed order;
.LP
b)
random search where the search for a free line does not
start with the same line each time. This covers a range of search
procedures,\ e.g.:
.LP
\(em
random start point and then fixed order;
.LP
\(em
start point is the last seized line plus one and then
fixed order,\ etc.
.LP
The hunting procedures are only initiated when the general directory
number\ (GDN) is called. One line in the group is directly associated with
the\ GDN, the other individual lines in the group may also be allocated
normal individual telephone numbers and when these other individual numbers
are
called, the calls are processed in the normal way, without hunting.
.LP
The subscriber may, under certain conditions, have the ability to reduce
the number of lines forming the group or, alternatively, inhibit the
automatic selection, or switch from random to sequential hunting.

Modern exchange and signalling systems make it possible to
provide automatic services with extended possibilities regarding
identification of the caller's number.
.LP
The services shall be provided and withdrawn after prearrangement
between the subscriber and the Administration in accordance with
national legal requirements.
.LP
Provision of the service on an international basis requires
agreement between the Administrations concerned.

Table 1 is a description of the
audible tone
plan in operation in the North American network to:
.sp 1P
.RT
.LP
1)
achieve uniformity in the quality of audible tones;
.LP
2)
minimize customer and operator confusion as to meaning of
audible tones;
.LP
3)
enable machine recognition of audible tones for purposes of service observing,\
etc.
.PP
Basically, the plan provides four frequencies that are used,
singly or in combination with particular cadences, to form the audible tone
signals shown in Table\ 1 as well as some other special purpose, limited use
signals.

During the Study Periods 1973\(hy1977 and 1978\(hy1980, a method was developed
for identifying the most important difficulties encountered by
inexperienced subscribers in dialing their own international calls. The same
method was then shown to be a good way to compare the effectiveness of
different sets of instructions.

Considering that some Administrations have found it desirable to
provide information, usually in the form of a pamphlet, for the guidance of
their customers who are planning to travel abroad, it is suggested that such
information should include:
.sp 1P
.RT
.LP
i)
information enabling the visitor to identify suitable
payphones
from which international telephone calls may be made in those countries
where not all payphones afford international call facilities;
.LP
ii)
operating procedure for payphones in the country visited
including dialling instructions for automatic calls, with an example of the
composition of the digits to be dialled, i.e.\
international prefix
,
country code
,
trunk code
(if necessary) and
subscriber's
number
. Special reference should be made to unfamiliar procedures and
particularly to the need to omit the
trunk prefix
used in the
destination country;
.LP
iii)
reference to the possibility that unfamiliar tones and
recorded announcements
may be encountered (see Annex\ A to
Recommendation\ E.121 which gives guidance in identifying such tones);
.LP
iv)
an indication when an
additional dialling tone
may
be encountered and definition of the point in the dialling sequence at
which it must be awaited;
.LP
v)
description of the paid\(hytime expiration warning signal.
.PP
Other useful information that may be considered desirable
for inclusion is the following:
.LP
a)
time differences between home country and the country to be visited;
.LP
b)
the advantage of writing down the required international
telephone number before starting the call to minimize the risk
of a dialling error;
.LP
c)
information on how the traveller may be called from his home country.
.PP
Methods by which pamphlets may be distributed include provision of supplies
at airport departure lounges, through telecommunications publicity,
information points and travel agencies.
.PP
It should be noted that no evidence is yet available to indicate
whether the production of pamphlets does or does not contribute to the
successful completion of international telephone calls

The Standard C communications system has been designed allowing the operation
of the smallest ship earth station in the INMARSAT system and
thus enabling the smallest vessels to avail themselves with satellite
communications. Its primary communications function is text and data
transmission to and from ships. It has been designed to interface with the
International Telex Network on a store\(hyand\(hyforward basis as well
as a range of terrestrial data networks. It is also able to carry an oceanwide
broadcast only service known as the Enhanced Call group (EGC).

coast earth station (CES); and
.LP
c)
ship earth station (SES).

3.2.2
Each coast earth station serves as a gateway to and from the
terrestrial network to ship earth stations within the coverage area of the
satellite. The types of terrestrial network interfaces at a coast earth
station are a national matter.
.PP
3.2.3
The ship earth station consists of a DTE which provides the user interface
and a DCE which provides the interface to the satellite network. In the
ship\(hyto\(hyshore direction, a message is formatted in the DTE and then
transferred to the DCE for transmission. In the shore\(hyto\(hyship direction,
the
DCE receives the complete message from the radio channel before passing
it to the DTE. The mobile ship earth station may be equipped for access
to marine
safety information carried by the enhanced group call service, or a separate
receive\(hyonly terminal for EGC calls may be used. Using the
distress
priority message
, a ship operator may transmit a ship\(hyto\(hyshore distress
alert. Upon receipt of this message, the addressed coast earth station will
.LP
immediately provide confirmation of the message being received. This
distress alert message
provides the ability to include the position of the vessel. A ship earth
station wishing to operate in a particular ocean
region must log in to the NCS in that region.
.PP

The Standard C system consists of 5 main channel types which are described
below.
.PP
3.3.1
The \fINCS common channel\fR | is transmitted continuously by the NCS.
All mobile ship earth stations registered as operational in a particular
ocean region must tune to this channel when not engaged in message transfer.
This
channel provides the following functions: message announcements, message
confirmations, frequency reference for all ship earth stations and EGC
message transmission.
.PP
3.3.2
\fINCS\(hyCES signalling links\fR | pass information between the NCS and
CESs concerning the operational status of the network. This link is used
to
transfer EGC messages from a CES to the NCS for subsequent transmission
on the NCS common channel. It also relays signalling information to ship
earth
stations and CESs.
.PP

\fIMessage channels\fR | are used by SESs to transfer their message
traffic to a CES. The message channel is assigned by the CES.

\fISignalling channels\fR | are used by SESs to transmit signalling
information to a CES. Each CES has one or more of these channels assigned to
it.

The INMARSAT aeronautical satellite communications system will provide
two\(hyway voice and data communications for aircraft operating within
the coverage area of a set of geostationary satellites. Since the system
capabilities will evolve with time, the initial set of capabilities and
functions are designated \*QInitial system\*U. The additional capabilities and
functions which may be added due to traffic demand and technological evolution
will form the \*QEnhanced system\*U.

c)
the mobile aircraft earth station (AES).
.PP
4.2.1
Network coordination stations will be provided as part of the \*QEnhanced

Aircraft Communications Addressing and Report System (ACARS) and other data
equipment and with aircraft crew and passenger voice equipment.
.PP
4.3
An AES wishing to operate in a particular ocean region must
register with a GES in the Initial system. The procedure known as the
log\(hyon/log\(hyoff of an AES provides the GES with the ability to manage
the number of AESs receiving one forward P\(hyChannel (Pd) and transmitting
on each R\(hyChannel (Rd), thus controlling the queueing delays and burst
collision probabilities. Provision exists in the Initial system for the
log\(hyon handover of a
particular AES to another GES which may work to a different satellite ocean
region. The handover can be initiated on an automatic or manual basis depending
on the type of AES and the specific requirements of the aircraft at that
time.

.PP
The P\(hychannel is a TDM channel which is used to provide system
management and medium speed data services in the ground\(hyto\(hyair direction.
Once the AES has logged on, it is directed to tune to this P\(hychannel
over which both system management information and other data can be passed.
In the Initial
