CAMA Numbering Format

Last Updated : Oct 29, 2012 |

Administers the Centralized Automatic Message Accounting (CAMA) trunks and provides Caller’s Emergency Service Identification (CESID) information to the local community’s Enhanced 911 system through the local tandem office.

Provides the CESID format by extension number or number blocks. Multiple CESID formats can be sent over multiple CAMA trunk groups allowing for mixed station numbering plans and some limited conversion from non-DID to DID numbers typically required by the Private Switch/Automatic Location Interface (PS/ALI) database.

Example command: change cama-numbering

CESID

The number used to identify the calling terminal within an emergency service system. This field can represent a prefix to an extension or the entire CESID. Accepts up to 16 digits. The maximum number of allowed digits depends on the equipment.

Ext Code

The leading digits or all of the digits in the extension for the specified CESID. If the extension length is greater than the number of digits in the extension code, the extension code is interpreted as a block of digits.

Example If the extension length is 4 and the extension code is 11, the CESID serves extensions 1100 through 1199.

Ext Len

The number of digits in the extension. Accepts up to 16 digits.

System CESID Default

The number sent over the CAMA trunk if the Extension Code for the CESID is unspecified. Accepts up to 16 digits.

Total Length

The total number of sent digits. Accepts up to 16 digits.
