Bellcore

The above listed Bellcore documents provide a relatively complete description of Type I and Type II Caller ID functionality, including testing procedures to insure compliance with the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). Type I Caller ID functionality is comprised of documents TR-NWT-000031, TR-NWT-001188, and TR-NWT-001401. The first document covers calling number delivery, with the second covering calling name delivery, and finally the third describing the visual message waiting indictor generic requirements. For Type II Caller ID, the documents TR-NWT-000575, TR-NWT-000031, and TR-NWT-001188 contain the primary requirements. GR-30-CORE consists of the generic requirements for transmitting voiceband data to the CPE. These are generic requirements from the Stored Program Control System.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard concerning Caller ID capable terminal equipment (TE) consists of primarily three documents. The document numbers are ETS 300 659-1, ETS 300 659-2, and ETS 300 778-1. The ETSI standard is basically an amalgamation of various other standards, such as the Bellcore, BT, and CCA. Also covered in the ETSI documents is a Caller ID transmission protocol based on DTMF signaling. The documents ETS 300 659-1 and ETS 300 659-2 describe the subscriber line protocol used for Caller ID services for both on-hook and off-hook data transmission. ETS 300 659-1 explains the on-hook data transmission protocol in terms of signaling, timing, tolerances, along with descriptions of the data link message and parameter codings. For the case of off-hook data transmission, ETS 300 659-2 explains the protocol, along with any differences or extensions to relating to ETS 300 659-1. The third document in the set, ETS 300 778-1, focuses on the requirements of the terminal equipment, in the condition of on-hook data transmission. This includes the physical layer and data link layer requirements, along with testing setups and conditions.

British Telecom CLIP

The British Telecom standard consists primarily of two documents. The first document SIN 227 describes the technical aspects of the Caller Display Service (CDS). Included in this is the physical layer sequence of events along with the characteristics of the alert signals and V.23 data signals. The Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) message structure also described in SIN 227. This explains the message format, message timing, requirements for CLIP parameters, message length, and examples of the message structure. The second document SIN 242 describes the requirements of the terminal equipment (TE) that is intended to work in conjunction with the CDS. This includes the signaling requirements for both the physical and datalink layer, operation of the terminal equipment in terms of its network interface, and a series of electrical and signaling tests.

The Cable Communications Association (CCA)

The Cable Communications Association (CCA) document TW/P&E/312 describes an interface for providing Caller Display Services (CDS) that is an alternative to the British Telecom SIN 227 and SIN 242. The document includes the general requirements for the terminal equipment (TE), along with the physical layer and datalink layer signaling descriptions. Also, testing procedures and test requirements are provided to insure the compliance of the terminal equipment.
