[VoiceOps] Test Numbers

[Mike Hammett]

A tangent off of this. 


What numbers are you using to report back to the caller the caller ID of the line they're on? I just recently found out we're using 311 for what Metaswitch calls "ANI Test Service". Clearly (https://nationalnanpa.com/number_resource_info/n11_codes.html) that's not appropriate. 


Some of our local Frontier techs are using 800-444-4444 from MCI. 


It seems like Wikipedia acknowledges that this is a mess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number_announcement_circuit

Our test equipment vendor (Exfo) has asked us about these capabilities, "milliwatt tone, quiet termination, or silent switchman." I don't know that I've seen the ability to configure those anywhere. 


How would I go about setting that up? I'm assuming that requires that my switch (Metaswitch) and endpoints (Zhone, Grandstream, Calix, Occam, and Innomedia) support them as well. I'm sure I can get platform-specific details from each of the vendors, but I'd like gain a bit of knowledge on that whole process before delving into vendor details.
