FCC Compliance for DID Answer Supervision Page 1479 of 3156
Features and Services
• Meridian 1: For DID calls terminating at the Meridian 1, the system
returns answer supervision based on the terminating condition. For DID
calls forwarded to Public Switched Networks (PSN) or private networks,
the system returns answer supervision based on the condition of the
outgoing trunk (whether answered or timed out).
• CO: The Meridian 1 provides the pseudo-answer for DID calls because
the Meridian 1 cannot return answer supervision.
DID calls terminating at the Meridian 1
The requirements for a DID call terminating at the Meridian 1 to return
answer supervision to the incoming DID trunk are shown in the following
table. The ASUP prompt in LD 16 is kept for other types of calls, but the
Meridian 1 software enforces the correct settings to return answer supervision
if a Recorded Announcement (RAN) is used for DID calls, regardless of the
value originally specified in the service change.
