[comp.dcom.telecom] Technical Question About Caller ID

kent@uunet.uu.net (Kent Hauser) (10/06/89)

How is the calling number transmitted under Caller ID?  All I can find
in my `Notes' is a comment that says it's on the subscriber pair.  Any
help (and the appropriate bellcore pub number) would be appreciated.

The calling number delivery specification is found in Bellcore
TR-TSY-000030, "SPCS Customer Premises Equipment Data Interface",
issue 1, November 1988.  This technical reference describes the data
signaling used from the central office.  The receiving side is
basically a simplex FSK modem operating at 1200 bps (like a Bell 202)
during the silent interval following the first ring.

For a generic description of the service, see TR-TSY-000031, "CLASS
Feature: Calling Number Delivery", issue 2, June 1988.  There's also
another memo, TR-TSY-000391, "CLASS Feature: Calling Number Delivery
Blocking", issue 2, June 1988, if you're interested.  These documents
can be ordered from:
