- booth at the COMDEX show.
-
- INTRODUCTION
- Calling Number Delivery (CND), better known as Caller ID, is a
- telephone service intended for residential and small business
- customers. It allows the called Customer Premises Equipment
- (CPE) to receive a calling party's directory number and the date
- and time of the call during the first 4 second silent interval in
- the ringing cycle. The customer must contact a Bellcore Client
- Company to initiate CND service.
-
- According to Pacific Bell representatives, the following states
- and district currently support CND service: Delaware, District
- of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
- Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
- Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
-
- The following states are scheduled to support CND service by
- April, 1992: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois,
- Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New
- York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
- and South Carolina.
-
- PARAMETERS
- The data signalling interface has the following characteristics:
- Link Type: 2-wire, simplex
- Transmission Scheme: Analog, phase-coherent FSK
- Logical 1 (mark) 1200 +/- 12 Hz
- Logical 0 (space) 2200 +/- 22 Hz
- Transmission Rate: 1200 bps
- Transmission Level: 13.5 +/- dBm into 900 ohm load
-
- (I have copied this data as presented. I believe the
- transmission level is meant to be -13.5 dBm.)
-
- PROTOCOL
- The protocol uses 8-bit data words (bytes), each bounded by a
- start bit and a stop bit. The CND message uses the Single Data
- Message format shown below.
-
- Channel Carrier Message Message Data Checksum
- Seizure Signal Type Length Word(s) Word
- Signal Word Word
-
- CHANNEL SEIZURE SIGNAL
- The channel seizure is 30 continuous bytes of 55h (01010101)
- providing a detectable alternating function to the CPE (i.e. the
- modem data pump).
-
- CARRIER SIGNAL
- The carrier signal consists of 130 +/- 25 mS of mark (1200 Hz) to
- condition the receiver for data.
-
- MESSAGE TYPE WORD
- The message type word indicates the service and capability
- associated with the data message. The message type word for CND
- is 04h (00000100).
-
- MESSAGE LENGTH WORD
- The message length word specifies the total number of data words
- to follow.
-
- DATA WORDS
- The data words are encoded in ASCII and represent the following
- information:
-
- o The first two words represent the month
- o The next two words represent the day of the month
- o The next two words represent the hour in local military time
- o The next two words represent the minute after the hour
- o The calling party's directory number is represented by the
- remaining words in the data word field
-
- If the calling party's directory number is not available to the
- terminating central office, the data word field contains an ASCII
- "O". If the calling party invokes the privacy capability, the
- data word field contains an ASCII "P".
-
- CHECKSUM WORD
- The Checksum Word contains the twos complement of the modulo 256
- sum of the other words in the data message (i.e., message type,
- message length, and data words). The receiving equipment may
- calculate the modulo 256 sum of the received words and add this
- sum to the reveived checksum word. A result of zero generally
- indicates that the message was correctly received. Message
- retransmission is not supported.
-
- EXAMPLE CND SINGLE DATA MESSAGE
- An example of a received CND message, beginning with the message
- type word, follows:
-
- 04 12 30 39 33 30 31 32 32 34 36 30 39 35 35 35 31 32 31 32 51
-
- 04h= Calling number delivery information code (message type word)
- 12h= 18 decimal; Number of data words (date,time, and directory
- number words)
- ASCII 30,39= 09; September
- ASCII 33,30= 30; 30th day
- ASCII 31,32= 12; 12:00 PM
- ASCII 32,34= 24; 24 minutes (i.e., 12:24 PM)
- ASCII 36,30,39,35,35,35,31,32,31,32= (609) 555-1212; calling
- party's directory number
- 51h= Checksum Word
-
- DATA ACCESS ARRANGEMENT (DAA) REQUIREMENTS
- To receive CND information, the modem monitors the phone line
- between the first and second ring bursts without causing the DAA
- to go off hook in the conventional sense, which would inhibit the
- transmission of CND by the local central office. A simple
- modification to an existing DAA circuit easily accomplishes the
- task.
-
- (I will mail the Rockwell data sheet, which includes the
- suggested schematic diagram.)
-
- MODEM REQUIREMENTS
- Although the data signalling interface parameters match those of
- a Bell 202 modem, the receiving CPE need not be a Bell 202
- modem. A V.23 1200 bps modem receiver may be used to demodulate
- the Bell 202 signal. The ring indicate bit (RI) may be used on a
- modem to indicate when to monitor the phone line for CND
- information. After the RI bit sets, indicating the first ring
- burst, the host waits for the RI bit to reset. The host then
- configures the modem to monitor the phone line for CND
- information.
-
- (I'm skipping some Rockwell-specific information here.)
-
- According to Bellcore specifications, CND signalling starts as
- early as 300 mS after the first ring burst and ends at least 475
- mS before the second ring burst
-
- APPLICATIONS
- Modem manufacturers will soon be implementing new modem features
- based on CND information as this service becomes widely
- available.
-
- Once CND information is received the user may process the
- information in a number of ways.
-
- 1. The date, time, and calling party's directory number can be
- displayed.
-
- 2. Using a look-up table, the calling party's directory number
- can be correlated with his or her name and the name
- displayed.
-
- 3. CND information can also be used in additional ways such as
- for:
-
- a. Bulletin board applications
- b. Black-listing applications
- c. Keeping logs of system user calls, or
- d. Implementing a telemarketing data base
