Appendix D Configuring NSF Codes
Configuring NSF codes
The CIC is a four-digit decimal code established by the FCC in the United States to identify each
telephone company. For example, the CIC for AT&T is 1288. If a subscriber has a variety of services
available from various carriers, this code can be used to select a carrier. This code is not always included
in an NSF code. Whether or not it is included is dictated by the specific carrier providing the connection
from MeetingPlace to the Central Office.

Note
Some carriers prefer to abbreviate their CIC to three digits (dropping the most significant digit).
Therefore, when requesting CIC information, it is important to determine if the carrier uses three or four
digits.

Modifying parameter (optional)
This section gives information about the modifying parameter. For specific information on the modifying
parameter for this installation, refer to worksheet F-1 in the MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2 Installation
Planning Guide.
parameter for this installation, refer to worksheet F-1 in the MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2 Installation
Planning Guide.
The modifying parameter, if used, is a value from 0-255. For example, Bell Canada uses this parameter
as a “Service IDentifier” (SID). For their Outwats service, the NSF code is not complete unless it has a
BFCV of 3 and a parameter (SID) of 2. Another example is that Vari-A-Bill by AT&T has a BFCV of 9
and a parameter of 6.

Configuring NSF codes
This section gives step-by-step instructions on how to configure the NSF code type. This procedure
consists of entering the information from worksheet F-1 in the MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2
Installation Planning Guide into a protocol table on the MeetingPlace server. The protocol table is used
when MeetingPlace outdials to the PSTN. The default protocol tables (0-49) do not enable NSF codes
and are read-only. Therefore, it is necessary to create a new protocol table. To create the new protocol
table, make a copy of an existing protocol table and make modifications to the new table.

Copying an existing protocol table to create a new protocol table
This section explains how to use the “protparm” command to copy an existing protocol table to create a
new protocol table. Refer to
