Malicious Call Trace
Malicious Call Trace (MCT) allows you to trace malicious calls. MCT allows you
to define a group of telephone users who can notify others in the group when they
receive a malicious call. These users then can retrieve information related to the
call. Using this information, you can identify the malicious call source or provide
information to personnel at an adjacent switch to complete the trace. MCT also
allows you to record the malicious call.
