    POLICY ISSUE NOTATION VOTE August 2, 2006 SECY-06-0173 FOR: The Commissioners FROM: Luis A. Reyes Executive Director for Operations SUBJECT: HISTORY OF THE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM AND OPTIONS TO PROVIDE CONFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY/IDENTITY OF A CALLER PURPOSE: In response to the Staff Requirements Memoranda (SRM), M060117, dated February 3, 2006, this paper provides the Commission with the history of the Emergency Notification System (ENS) lines and requests Commission approval of a method to quickly confirm the authority or identity of a caller with respect to the imminent threat and physical attack procedures. SUMMARY: The Commission has identified the need to establish a method to quickly confirm the authority/ identity of a caller with respect to an imminent threat. The Emergency Notification System (ENS) provides a reliable voice communication system that allows NRC to communicate with power reactor licensees during an emergency, including an imminent threat. However, the current configuration of ENS will not support caller identification (caller ID). The staff evaluated several alternatives including the restoration of dedicated direct lines (ring downs). Additionally, the staff has provided an update of the communications evaluation (study) that is being undertaken to assess the overall status and health of emergency communications. The staff recommends the Commission approve the use of authentication codes as the method to confirm the authority/identity of a caller in an imminent threat situation. This process is described in Enclosure 2. CONTACT: Jason Kozal, NSIR/DPR (301) 415-5776 The Commissioners - 2 - BACKGROUND: In the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) to provide reliable communications between NRC and its power reactor licensees.

  • 73M2901CE Caller ID Support
    73M2901CE V.22 bis Single Chip Modem A Maxim Integrated Products Brand APPLICATION NOTE AN_2901CE_003 JULY 2005 73M2901CE Caller ID Support The Teridian 73M2901CE integrated circuit modem provides all the microprocessor control and modulation and demodulation functions required to implement a V.22 bis 2400 bps modem. In addition, the 73M2901CE provides all the support necessary to successfully receive Caller ID information sent by the local Central Office (CO). The Caller ID system is a feature of digital telephone network that allows the telephone number of the caller to be transferred to the called person. It may also transfer name, time and date information. There are two different states when the Caller ID information could be sent to the called party: when the phone line of the called party is not in use (i.e., all telecom equipment are on-hook) or when the phone line of the called party is in use (at least one device is off-hook). These two types of Caller ID are referred as Type I Caller ID or more often CID, and Type II Caller ID or “Caller ID on Call Waiting” or CIDCW, respectively. Caller ID signals (Type I and II) are transmitted from the central office on the called party’s phone line and are always preceded by an alerting signal that is either a first ring, a polarity inversion on the line, a Dual Tone alerting signal (CAS tones) or a combination of some of these events. The information itself is transmitted either through an FSK modulation (Bell202 or V.23) or through DTMF tones.

Thomas Lee: U.S. Telecommunications Privacy Policy and Caller ID CALIFORNIA WESTERN LAW REVIEW VOLUME 30 FALL 1993 NUMBER 1 U.S. TELECOMMUNICATIONS PRiVACY PoLICY AND CALLER ID LAURIE THOMAS LEE* ABSTRACT Caller ID and its use of Calling Party Identification (CPI) has raised a public outcry about possible invasions of privacy. Is calling party identifica- tion an invasion of the calling party's "right" to privacy? This article examines the debate and two states' court decisions which have reached different conclusions. The article examines the current regulatory status of Caller ID. Then it critically examines and details the existing legal framework of privacy protection. U.S. Constitutional rights are examined, with a focus on the "State Action" doctrine, Informational Privacy and the Fourth Amendment. State constitutions are also examined. Federal statutory laws, particularly the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, as well as state wiretap laws are detailed. Then, common law privacy and privacy associated with a right of property are discussed, followed by policy considerations dealing with the issues of blocking and the protection of unlisted numbers.

  • So... What Is Smart Call Blocker? Smart Call Blocker Filters Robocalls and Unwanted Calls for You, While Allowing Welcome Calls to Get Through
    So... what is smart call blocker? Smart call blocker filters robocalls and unwanted calls for you, while allowing welcome calls to get through. With this feature, you can say goodbye to unwanted calls. Smart call blocker works by automatically blocking telemarketing and robocalls on your landline before they can interrupt your day. When you receive a call—but before your phone rings—unknown numbers and callers who are not on your list of welcome callers are played a screening message and required to press a key and/or record their name. If they don’t, the call is ended. This means robocalls never ring through even once. Callers who follow the instructions are allowed through. The phone now rings for the first time. If you’ve selected to require callers to record their name, you’ll hear the recording when you pick up. You can then choose to answer, save, block or send the caller to the answering machine. Use voice guide to set smart call blocker Right after installing your phone, the voice guide will provide you a quick and easy way to configure smart call blocker. • After you install your telephone, the handset will prompt you to set the date and time. • After the date and time setting is done or skipped, the handset then prompts if you want to set up smart call blocker - “Hello! This voice guide will assist you with the basic setup of smart call blocker...”. • Scenarios (1), (2) and (3) are very easy to set up with the voice guide. Just press 1, 2 or 3 on the handset when prompted.
