bus system while signalling the ANI trunk to apply the needed 5800Hz tone to |
the Sleeve. The identifier begins a scanning process and determines the |
calling office number and the digits of the calling subscriber's number, which |
is sent by way of the outpulser in MF tones to the CAMA equipment in the |
tandem office. The call information is recorded onto AMA tapes and used to |
determine billing. |
Note that your number does show up on the AMA tape, if the circumstances |
are correct, (any toll call, whether it is from a message-rate line or from a |
flat-rate line). However, the AMA tapes do not record the calling line number |
in any separated format. They are recorded on a first-come, first-serve basis. |
Misc. Footnotes (denoted by an asterisk in the main article) |
--------------- |
* ANIF-Automatic Number Identification Failure. This is when the ANI equipment |
does not work properly, and could occur due to a wide variety of technical- |
ities. When ANIF occurs, something called ONI (Operator Number Identification) |
is used. The call is forwarded to a TSPS operator who requests the calling |
line number by saying something similar to 'What number are you calling from?' |
* CAMA-Centralized Automatic Message Accounting. CAMA is a system that records |
call details for billing purposes. CAMA is used from a centralized location, |
usually a Tandem office. CAMA is usually used to serve class 5 End Offices in |
a rural area near a large city which contains a Tandem or Toll Office. CAMA is |
similar to LAMA, except LAMA is localized in a specific CO and CAMA is not. |
* The Directory Number Network and bus system is a network involved with the |
ANI process. It is a grid of vertical and horizontal buses, grouped and class- |
ified as Primary or Secondary. There are 100 vertical and 100 horizontal buses |
in the Primary system. In the Secondary system, there are two sub-groups:Bus |
system #1 and Bus system #2, both of which have ten horizontal and vertical |
buses. These buses as a whole are linked to the Identifier in the ANI trunk |
and are responsible for identifying tens, hundreds, thousands and units digits |
of the calling number (After the Identifier begins its scanning process). |
* MDF-Main Distribution Frame. This is the area where all cable pairs of a |
certain office meet, and a third wire, the Sleeve wire, is added. The Sleeve |
wire is what is used in gathering ANI information, as well as determining a |
called lines status (off/on hook) in certain switching systems by presence of |
voltage. (voltage present on Sleeve, line is busy, no voltage, line is idle.) |
* ONI-Operator Number Identification. See ANIF footnote. |
NOTE: There are also other forms of Automatic Message Accounting, such as LAMA |
(Local Automatic Message Accounting). LAMA is used in the class 5 End Office |
as opposed to CAMA in a Toll Office. If your End Office had LAMA, then the ANI |
information would be recorded at the local level and sent from there. The LAMA |
arrangement may be computerized, in which it would denoted with a C included |
(LAMA-C or C-LAMA). |

In PWN Issue Seven/Part One, we had an article entitled "Maxfield Strikes |
Again." It was about a system known as "THE BOARD" in the Detroit 313 NPA. |
The number was 313-592-4143 and the newuser password was "HEL-N555,ELITE,3" |
(then return). It was kind of unique because it was run off of an HP2000 |
computer. On August 20, 1986 the following message was seen on "THE BOARD." |
