Multifrequency Signaling Incoming Intercept 
Treatment
Overlap Sending on Link-to-Link Tandem Calls
A DEFINITY ECS with this field set to 
y,  when tandeming calls between switches 
will send ANI for PBX to the terminating switch if that switch requests ANI 
before the DEFINITY ECS receives it from the originating switch. The 
terminating switch may request ANI before the receipt of the last address digit if it 
is not a DEFINITY ECS or it is a DEFINITY ECS with the Request Call Category 
at Start of Call field set to 
y.
Valid entries Usage
1
 to 255Enter the maximum number of seconds to elapse between signals 
on a call. This timer runs when MFC tones are being sent or 
received on an outgoing call. The timer starts (and restarts) when 
the switch begins sending a forward signal and stops when the 
switch receives the backward signal. 
Valid entries Usage
11
 to 255Enter the maximum number of seconds to elapse between 
forward signals on outgoing calls. The timer starts (and restarts) 
when a forward tone is taken off the link and it stops when the 
next forward tone is applied to the link.
Valid entries Usage
y
  Send the group B signal for the intercept to the CO and play 
intercept tone on the trunk. 
n  Use normal DID/TIE/ISDN intercept treatment.
Valid entries Usage
y/n
If y, DEFINITY ECS sends and receives digits one digit at a 
time instead of enbloc. (With enbloc, digits are not sent until 
the entire group of digits is received).

This field appears only when Outgoing Call Type is 
group-ii-mfc or mfe.
Request Incoming ANI (non-AAR/ARS)
This field only applies if the incoming call via the R2-MFC trunk is terminating to

Valid entries Usage
y/n
If y, DEFINITY ECS:
— Sends the category for MFC ANI for the COR of the 
originating party for non-private-MFC-trunk to 
MFC-private-trunk calls.
— Sends the Group II category received over the incoming 
private trunk as the outgoing Group II category on tandem 
private MFC calls.
— Applies MFC group II-CPC termination restrictions on 
incoming MFC private trunk calls.
— Checks station permissions if you call forward off-net.
Valid entries Usage
0
 to 9  Enter the digit used when the incoming initial end-of-ani or 
end-of-dial MF signal is converted on a per-switch basis.
Valid entries Usage
y
The system collects all the digits before seizing the trunk and 
the ANI Req field on the AAR and ARS Digit Conversion 
Table does not apply.
n Enter n to control ANI collection via the ARS screens.
Valid entries Usage
y/n
 If y, ANI should be requested on incoming R2-MFC calls.

The fields on Page 2 define call category and ANI information. For India, the ANI 
can be requested without the call category information.
Valid entries Usage
user-type
The type of phone making the call determines the type of group 
II signal that the PBX sends (normal = ordinary phone set, 
attendant = attendant console, data-call = data modules and 
similar data endpoints).
call-typeThe dialed digits determine the type of group II signal that the 
PBX sends.
Valid entries Usage
y
Use the calling facility’s COR to determine category.
n  Use the calling party’s user-type COR to determine category.
Valid entries Usage
1
 to 25Enter the number of seconds to time an exchange cycle (starts 
when the far end requests a digit until DEFINITY ECS sends the 
requested digit).

Request Call Category at Start of Call
Indicates that the Send-ANI backward signal requesting for the caller-category 
information will be sequenced differently in the MFC signaling flow. The 
Caller-category Request backward signal is disjointed from the ANI request.
Restart ANI from Caller Category
Valid entries Usage
y/n
If y, the Send-ANI backward signal corresponds exclusively to 
the caller-category request. In response to this signal, 
DEFINITY ECS sends a forward signal containing the 
caller-category information on outgoing calls. On incoming 
calls, DEFINITY ECS sends the Send-ANI backward signal 
upon receipt of the first address signal.
Valid entries Usage
y/n
If y, DEFINITY ECS sends the caller-category signal later again 
when the signals for Caller-Category and ANI requests are the 
same and this signal is received after the Next-Digit forward 
signals have been received.

 to 15Enter the number of ANI digits for outgoing MFC calls. 
In India or any country where end-of-ani and end-of-digits are 
not defined for Tones to CO on Outgoing Forward Calls – Group 
I, DEFINITY ECS appends ANI-Not-Available digits to ANI 
digits if the actual ANI length is less than the number entered in 
this field. 
If end-of-ani or end-of-digits are defined, this field is used in 
conjunction with Truncate Station Number in ANI as a 
maximum ANI length.
For India, even if the length of ANI is defined, if the timeout 
occurs during the ANI collection, the call is routed with the ANI 
digits already collected.

This field defines the side of the extension number from which 
to truncate when station ANI is sent to the CO and the 
combined length of the ANI prefix and extension number is

(either MFC or COR) is not truncated. There is no effect if 
ANI for PBX is sent.
