Currently, we use a computer aided test system, CATS, to examine

system will be enhanced later this year due to Federal Government
contracts with MCI regarding national security. At that time Quality
Assurance will be creating another group to monitor the actual baseband
of every radio in the division at least four times each hour on a

instead of the usual practice of observing the large blocks of
channels. This function will allow us to observe the network quality
in a manner that will turn up subtle problems quickly.

ANSWER SUPERVISION & BILLING FOR UNASWERED CALLS
How are long-distance calls billed?
The conventional method of billing for calls over AT&T's network starts
with hardware answer supervision. For example, when a call is answered a signal is sent to AT&T's switch from the local telephone company serving the called party. but is not generally available to other long-distance carriers.
With the advent of Equal Access, also referred to as feature group D interconnection, this form of answer supervision for billing purposes will be available to MCI.
This service is provided routinely to AT&T
How are MCI customers billed?
Currently, MCI employs a method called "Software Answer Supervision",
which is highly accurate but not infallible. By measuring the energy levels on a line to determine when a call is answered, MCI is able to approximate the answer supervision provided to AT&T. Using "Software Answer Supervision," MCI measures energy levels created by a ringing signal, by a person speaking, by data transmission or by silence.
Because all of these emit different levels of energy, MCI is able, with a high degree of accuracy, to determine when a call actually begins.
In addition, MCI switch equipment has been designed to listen to "rinc for 90 seconds, "busy" for 72 seconds and "silence" for 72 seconds bef defaulting to the answer status and starting a billed message. Also r
software answer supervision is 9 seconds slower than hardware answer supervision in determining an answered call. Subsequently, many secor per call go unbilled.
It is not MCI's policy to bill for unaswered calls
MCI makes every effort to ensure that customers are billed only for completed calls. Our dial-up customers are advised that if they belil
they have been billed for uncompleted calls, they should call MCI cus service, which can verify the call information and issue the appropri credit. literature and in our monthly customer newsletters. Hard-wired custoi are handled through hard-wi re customer service representatives in a similar manner.
Information on this point is supplied in MCI's installation
