Circuit Card Description and Installation
MFC signaling involves two or more levels of forward signals and two or
more levels of backward signals. Separate sets of frequencies are used for
forward and backward signals:
• Forward signals. Level I forward signals are dialed address digits that
identify the called party. Subsequent levels of forward signals describe
the category (Class of Service) of the calling party, and may include the
calling party status and identity.
• Backward signals. Level I backward signals (designated “A”) respond
to Level I forward signals. Subsequent levels of backward signals (B, C,
and so on) describe the status of the called party.
Table 141 lists the frequency values used for forward and backward signals.
