Caller ID Protocol Data Frame Protocol
Caller ID Protocol Data Frame Protocol
intended for residential and small business customers. It allows the called
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to receive a calling party's directory number and
the date and time of the call during the first 4 second silent interval in the
ringing cycle.
Caller-ID Parameters
Caller-ID Protocol
The protocol uses 8-bit data words (bytes), each bounded by a start bit and a stop
bit. The CND message uses the Single Data Message format shown below.Channel
Seizure Signal Carrier Signal Message Type Word Message Length Word Data
Word(s) Checksum Word
The carrier signal consists of 130 +/- 25 mS of mark (1200 Hz) to condition the
receiver for data.
Caller-ID Message Type Word
The message type word indicates the service and capability associated with the data
message. The message type word for CND is 04h (00000100).
Caller-ID Message Length Word
The message length word specifies the total number of data words to follow.
Caller-ID Data Words
The data words are encoded in ASCII and represent the following information:
The first two words represent the month
The next two words represent the day of the month
The next two words represent the hour in local military time
The next two words represent the minute after the hour
The calling party's directory number is represented by the remaining words in the
data word field
If the calling party's directory number is not available to the terminating central
office, the data word field contains an ASCII "O". If the calling party invokes the
privacy capability, the data word field contains an ASCII "P".
Caller-ID Checksum Word
The Checksum Word contains the twos complement of the modulo 256 sum of the other
words in the data message (i.e., message type, message length, and data words). The
receiving equipment may calculate the modulo 256 sum of the received words and add
this sum to the received checksum word. A result of zero generally indicates that
the message was correctly received. Message retransmission is not supported.
Example Caller-ID Data Message
An example of a received CND message, beginning with the message type word,
follows:
04 12 30 39 33 30 31 32 32 34 36 30 39 35 35 35 31 32 31 32 51
To receive CND information, the modem monitors the phone line between the first and
second ring bursts without causing the DAA to go off hook in the conventional
sense, which would inhibit the transmission of CND by the local central office. A
simple modification to an existing DAA circuit easily accomplishes the task.
Caller-ID Modem Requirements
Although the data signaling interface parameters match those of a Bell 202 modem,
the receiving CPE need not be a Bell 202 modem. A V.23 1200 bps modem receiver may
be used to demodulate the Bell 202 signal. The ring indicate bit (RI) may be used
on a modem to indicate when to monitor the phone line for CND information. After
the RI bit sets, indicating the first ring burst, the host waits for the RI bit to
reset. The host then configures the modem to monitor the phone line for CND
information.
Caller-ID Signaling
Once CND information is received the user may process the information in a number
of ways.
The date, time, and calling party's directory number can be displayed.
Using a look-up table, the calling party's directory number can be correlated with
his or her name and the name displayed.
CND information can also be used in additional ways such as for:
