line/trunk equipped with this service, a dial tone or Company recorded announcement will
be heard by the caller.
17) TOLL RESTRICTION WITH PIN OVERRIDE 2
This service enables customers to restrict all or a combination of O+ and 1 + toll calls from
being placed over their exchange lines/trunks. In addition, the customer will have the
ability to override the restriction on a per call basis by using a Personal Identification
Number (PIN). To activate the override, the customer dials a code, the PIN, waits for a dial
tone and then dials the toll number. When a restricted call is attempted without the PIN,
from a line/trunk equipped with this service, a dial tone or Company recorded
announcement will be heard by the caller.
18) CALL TRANSFER ENHANCED
This feature enables a customer to transfer multiple incoming or outbound calls to a third
party with either a Screened Transfer or a Blind Transfer. A Screened Transfer enables
the transferring party to announce a call to the third party prior to completing the transfer. If
the third party chooses not to take the call, the transferring party may disconnect the third
party and return to the caller. Otherwise, the transferring party may disconnect, completing
the transfer and returning the line to an idle state. A Blind Transfer enables the transferring
party to immediately disconnect after dialing the third party, prior to the third party
answering the call. After disconnecting, the transferring party may either originate or
receive a new call, even though the transferred call is still in progress. In addition, this
feature enables a customer to establish a 3-way conference call while enabling any party
(including the originator of the call) to drop out of the conference while leaving the other
two parties connected. The customer is responsible for all applicable long distance
charges for originating or terminating calls that will apply for the duration of the call, even if
the customer drops off the call.

A. GENERAL
Section 8
Original Sheet 9
Advanced Calling Services (ACS) are optional services, offered in addition to regular
exchange service, which allow customers to efficiently manage the call flow generated
over their Exchange Access Line(s). Customers will be able to screen, redirect, or
return selected calls. These services offer Customers convenience, time savings, and
a greater degree of control over the use of their telephones. Advanced Calling
Services are available to residence and business customers where facilities are
available. Individual feature availability may differ by exchange.
B. SERVICE DESCRIPTION
1. ANONYMOUS CALL REJECTION
This service enables a Customer to reject incoming calls from which a privacy
indicator is received. The service is activated by dialing a unique code. When
the service is active, the Telephone Company ("Company") will not complete
calls to its customer when the calling party has activated Caller ID blocking
services. Such calls will be routed to a Company recorded announcement.
Anonymous Call Rejection is included with Caller ID at no charge.
2. CALL REJECTION
This service enables a Customer to reject up to a maximum of six (6)
preselected incoming telephone numbers from which he/she does not wish to
receive calls. To select a telephone number, the Customer dials a unique
code and then constructs or modifies a telephone number screening list. To
add an unknown telephone number to the list, a Customer can activate a code
immediately after receiving an unwanted incoming call. The Company's
equipment will screen incoming calls against the Customer's list and reject
those on the list. Callers whose numbers are rejected are directed to a
Company recorded announcement. If facilities are unavailable to provide
incoming call screening via the Customer's list, standard call completion will
occur.

3. CALL RETURN
Section 8
Original Sheet 10
This service enables the Customer to automatically redial the telephone
number of the most recent incoming call. The Company's equipment will make
repeated attempts to establish the call for approximately a thirty (30) minute
period, beginning with the Customer's activation of Call Return if the most
recent incoming call is busy. If the most recent incoming call is blocked, the
Customer will get a Company recorded announcement indicating the number
is a private number and the call can not be returned. The service cannot be
activated for calls originating from a line that is forwarded or from a line not
associated with a telephone number, e.g., multiline hunting groups.
Call Return is available on a per usage or flat rate basis. This service will have
a per activation rate and a specified number of chargeable activations. After
the specified number of chargeable activations, each activation thereafter will
be at no charge.
4. PREFERRED CALL FORWARDING
This service enables the Customer to forward up to a maximum of six (6)
preselected incoming telephone numbers to another telephone number. To
forward a telephone number, the Customer dials an activation code and then
constructs or modifies a telephone number screening list. The Company's
equipment will screen incoming calls against the Customer's list and forward
only those telephone numbers on the list. Calls forwarded by this service are
subject to all applicable local and long distance charges. These calls are also
subject to transmission limitations.
5. PRIORITY RINGING
This service allows the subscriber to provide up to a maximum of six (6)
preselected incoming telephone numbers with a distinctive alerting signal or
ring (or a distinctive Call Waiting tone if the Customer has subscribed to Call
Waiting), when the Customer receives calls from them. To program a
telephone number, the subscriber dials a unique code and then constructs or
modifies a telephone number screening list. The Company's equipment will
screen incoming calls against the Customer's list and provide the Priority
Ringing service for the preselected telephone numbers on the Customer's list.

Section 8
Original Sheet 14
This service enables the customer to initiate a trace of the last incoming call
completed by dialing an activation code immediately after terminating the call.
A Call Trace is considered successful when the Company's equipment is able
to record the incoming call detail (not the conversation). Incoming call detail

locations, the time the traced call was received. Upon completion of a
successful trace, the customer will be assessed a Call Trace fee that will
appear on the customer's next bill. The results of the trace are never provided
to the customer directly. Call Trace information will only be given to appropriate
law enforcement agencies. For further action to be taken, the customer is
required to contact the Telephone Company Business Office during normal
business hours, which will refer the customer to appropriate law enforcement
agencies, or contact the law enforcement agency directly. Call Trace detail will
be retained by the company and made available to the local law enforcement
for ten business days after the trace has been initiated.
Call Trace may not capture incoming telephone numbers marked "private" or
"out of area".
Only calls from locations with compatible signaling services are traceable using
Call Trace.

SPECIALIZED ACCESS/TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENT
INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN)
PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) 111
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(C)
1. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a public network-based set of communications
services that make it possible to send, receive, and modify information using regular
telephone facilities. ISDN provides end-to-end digital communications and gives the ability
to transmit data and voice over the same telephone line simultaneously. This functionality is
provided via channelized transport facilities. The ISDN architecture provides for Primary
Rate Interface (PRI) which is typically used when a customer wants to connect large
quantities of digital lines to the network.
2. ISDN-PRI uses the ISDN architecture to provide the customer with the capability to transmit
voice and data simultaneously over the same digital facility. Under various optional
arrangements, PRI provides the customer with access to Circuit-Switched Voice Services
and Circuit-Switched Data Services.
B. PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) SERVICE ARRANGEMENT
1. An ISDN-PR! arrangement connects an ISDN-capable Telephone Company central office
switch to ISDN-capable customer premise equipment (CPE). Depending on the application,
that CPE might be a PBX, a router, a multiplexer, etc. The PRI ISDN arrangement provides
a total of twenty-four digital communications channels within a single physical facility.
Twenty-three of these channels are called Bearer, or B Channels and they carry the actual
voice or data. Another channel, called the Delta or D Channel, is used to transport signaling
for the other 23 channels. This configuration is known as 23B+D.
a. B Channel -The B Channel is a bi-directional synchronous channel capable of
supporting digital transmission speeds of 64 kilobits per second (kbps). Each 8
Channel of a PRI may carry:
(1) Circuit-Switched Voice
(2) Circuit-Switched Data
b. D Channel -The D Channel is a 64 kbps digital signaling channel that carries
signaling and control for the B Channels.
(1) This service is only available where facilities are available. As the Company upgrades its
network to fiber and VoIP, this service will only be available to existing customers as of January
1, 2021 and to customers that do not have access to fiber-based services.

B. PRIMARY RATE INTERFACE (PRI) SERVICE ARRANGEMENT (Continued)
2. Primary Rate Access Facility -The Primary Rate Access Facility provides a high capacity
digital link over which the Primary Rate services are delivered. This facility is based on a
1.544 mbps DS1 carrier (T1 facility).
3. Multiple PRI Arrangement -There may be situations where more than 23 8 Channels are
needed at a particular customer premise. In those situations, multiple PRI facilities can be
assigned to a PRI arrangement. With the multiple PRI arrangement, the D Channel in the
first PRI facility is used to transport signaling for additional PRI facilities. The first PRI would
be configured as 238+0 and the other PRls would be configured as 248. This use of Non
Facility Associated Signaling (NFAS) allows the overhead of the D Channel to be distributed
over multiple PRI facilities, thereby increasing channel efficiency.
4. D Channel Backup -In Multiple PRI Arrangements, a second D Channel can be assigned
(where available) as an automatic backup to the primary D Channel. This can be offered
when more than one PRI is provided to the same customer in order to provide redundancy
of the signaling channel.
5. ISDN-PRI Failover Solution -Allows a customer's incoming ISDN-PRI traffic to overflow to
a predetermined alternate route in an out of service situation. The incoming traffic is
forwarded to a remote call forward number and then forwarded to one or more basic access
lines in a hunt group.
C. CIRCUIT SWITCHED SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS
Circuit Switching is a switching arrangement in which an entire circuit or B Channel is dedicated to
a given call. The circuit is connected on a per call basis and can carry circuit-switched voice or
circuit-switched data. Circuit switched related services include:
1. Clear Channel Capability -A characteristic of the transmission paths on the "8" channel
that allows the full bandwidth on the "8" channel, 64 kbps, to be available to the customer.
However, ISDN interconnection to non-ISDN equipped central offices will be potentially
subjected to analog transmission or sub-rated to 56 kbps.
2. Dedicated Trunk Groups -The 8 Channels of a PRI can be dedicated for calls to and from
the public network: Incoming, Outgoing, 2-way, Direct Outward Dialing (DOD) or Direct
Inward Dialing (DID).
(2) This service is only available where facilities are available. As the Company upgrades its
network to fiber and VoIP, this service will only be available to existing customers as of January
1, 2021 and to customers that do not have access to fiber-based services.

C. REGULATIONS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
8. Termination Llabllltles shall be treated as follows:
a. If the service is canceled by the customer after installation of the service, but prior to the
completion of the service period, the customer shall be obligated to pay a termination
liability charge. The charge is calculated by multiplying the monthly rate by the remaining
months in the contract period times fifty percent.1
b. If a customer terminates service prior to the expiration of the term, the customer shall pay
an early termination fee equal to the difference between the amount billed had the
customer been billed at the rate applicable under the contract and the amount which
would've been billed under a shorter term contract. That difference in monthly contracted
amounts would apply to each month that the customer received the service prior to the
termination.
Example: Customer signs a 36 Mo. Contract and terminates after 28 Months
24 Mo. Rate ($21.00) -36 Mo. Rate ($20.50) = $.50 x 28 months= $14.00 ETC
c. A customer who reduces the quantity of Centrex lines under contract has the following
options for the duration of the contract period:
1. Continue to pay an amount equal to the monthly rate for the number of Centrex
station lines that are disconnected under contract, or
2. Pay termination charges as described in a. above on the number of Centrex station
lines disconnected.
9. All exchange lines in a Centrex Group must have the same billing arrangement, either flat-rate or
measured service (where offered).

11. When used with Call Forwarding or Call Transfer, the Centrex customer is responsible for the
payment of the applicable toll charge for each billable call connected over the public network
between the Centrex station and the station at which the call is answered. The charge is
applicable to each call answered, including the Call Forwarding set-up call. It also applies to
collect and person-to-person calls, which may be refused at the answering station.
12. This tariffed Centrex service does not include terminal equipment on the customer's premises.
Terminal equipment may be covered under a separate tariff, contract, or may be provided by the

applicable to the provision of service by the telephone company as stated in the general tariff.
14. It is at the Company's discretion to offer temporary suspension of Centrex Service.

CENTREX 1
D. DEFINITIONS (Continued)
The following are optional, chargeable hunting features which may be provisioned with Centrex
Service at established tariff rates:
49. Hunting Arrangements:
a. Circle Hunting
Circle Hunting allows calls directed to busy stations in the middle of the hunt group to
search through to the end of the hunt group and then return to the beginning of the
hunt list in search of an idle station. The caller is connected to the first idle station
encountered.
b. Preferential Hunting
Preferential Hunting allows any station in a Hunt Group to have its own (preferential)
hunting list. If a call is made to a station with a Preferential Hunting list assigned to it,
and that station is busy, the preferential list is first hunted until an idle station is found.
If an idle station is not found on the preferential list, the hunt will proceed to the entire
hunt group.
c. Regular Hunting
Regular Hunting or Linear Hunting is performed in a sequential fashion across all
members of a Multiline Hunt Group. The search for an idle station starts with the pilot
number. If the first station is busy, the group is sequentially hunted until an idle
station is found. If there are no idle stations available, the caller receives a busy
signal.
d. Series Completion
Series Completion is a hunting arrangement in which individual stations always have
their own directory numbers and classes of service. Two different hunting
arrangements can be selected with Series Completion: linear or circle.
e. Uniform Call Distribution
Uniform Call Distribution is intended to distribute calls evenly among the stations in a
Hunt Group. When a caller is connected to an idle station, the location of the next
station is marked as the starting point for hunting when the next incoming call is
received. Once hunting begins, it proceeds in a circular manner until an idle station is
found.
This service is only available where facilities are available. As the Company upgrades its network to
fiber and VoIP, this service will only be available to existing customers as of January 1, 2021 and to
customers that do not have access to fiber-based services.

50. Delay Announcements for Queued Calls
Delay Announcements can optionally be used to inform a caller that his or her call
has been placed in a queue. The delay announcement can be repeated at regular
intervals until an idle station becomes available.
51. Make Busy Features:
a. Make Busy
Make Busy can be used to temporarily make a particular station in a Hunt
Group appear busy to incoming callers. Make Busy causes the hunt to skip
over a station during the search for an idle station.
b. Group Make Busy
Make Busy can be used to temporarily make a group of stations or an entire
Hunt Group appear busy to incoming callers. Make Busy causes the hunt to
skip over a group of stations during the search for an idle station and is
operated via a physical switch.
52. Queuing for Hunt Groups
Queuing may optionally be used when all stations in a Hunt Group are busy. When
this occurs, a call is placed into a queue. The call remains in the queue until an idle
station is located. Up to ten calls can be in queue for a Multiline Hunt Group.
Queuing cannot be provided for Preferential Hunt Groups or Series Completion
Groups.
53. Stop Hunt
Stop Hunt allows a station user to stop the normal hunting process at a
predetermined point. Activating this feature at a particular station in a Hunt Group
will cause the search for an idle line to stop there.
