A closed user group ( ) permits the DTEs belonging to the closed user group to communicate with each other but precludes communication with other users.

Each member of the CUG identifies it with a local CUG ID (1-99).

10.15 - Subscription Option - Closed user group with Outgoing Access

Enables a DTE to belong to one or more closed user groups and to originate calls to DTEs in the open part of the network.

When the closed user group with outgoing access facility is subscribed to and the DTE has a default CUG (known as a preferential CUG) then only the closed user group selection facility is applicable for use at the interface.

When the closed user group with outgoing access facility is subscribed to and the network offers to the DTE the capability of choosing whether or not to have a preferential CUG and the DTE has no preferential CUG, then both the closed user group facility and the closed user group with outgoing access facility are applicable.

&UKa& = yUKa support

DX1: yes

DX2: yes

TP4/III: ?

UKa already support closed user groups in current release, I know of no changes for release 4.

Each member of the CUG identifies it with a local CUG ID (1-99) but internally to the network the CUG is represented by a CUG interlock code. This is a number in the range 1-32767, Public Network allocates numbers from the bottom up. 32767 is the wildcard and should not be used for security reasons.

Limitations are:

* maximum of 99 CUGs per line

* CUG subscriptions always apply to whole line (even if multiple address are defined for the line).

* CUG number 1 is always preferential CUG

The lines to which the CUG applies are specified using the 'base' NUA of the lines.

|TNDTED Q210| q98 | DTE sending interlock code fac......#(YES/NO)

default NO

This question indicates that the DTE may send Interlock Codes in call request packets.

This question is always set to NO on Public Network - on no account should it be set to YES as it could compromise network security.

TNDTED Q211(was q99 ) DTE receiving interlock code facility

default NO

This question indicates that the DTE may receive Interlock Codes in call request packets. This question is always set to NO on Public Network - on no account should it be set to YES as it could compromise network security.

CUG details are entered using the NUICUG program. The following options are set:

01 NUI: for X.25 lines this is <last 8 digits of NUA> @
03 Start date:
04 Format: internal format of tables:
Format 0 = no cugs
Format 1 = one cug
Format 2 = two cugs
Format 3 = more than two cugs
09 CUG outgoing access

11 NUA: NUA used for billing
12 Default CUG: eg preferential CUG
13 CUG names: interlock code followed by optional string in ADD mode:

14 NAP names Network Access Point for TP concerned.

the 'NUI' is crunched by the program into a unique NUC.

UKa Answers

Question: Can a CUG be specified on a particular subaddress, but not on

the whole line?

Answer : No.

UKa Answers

Question: can a CUG be specified on a Multiline/hunt group?

Answer : No, This can only be done by giving all the specific addresses in the NUI/CUG program.

Release 4 is compatible with ONA for this option.

Test plan and implementation issues

no changes.

UKa provides partial support, in that CUG with outgoing access is supported, but the user cannot have a preferential CUG with this option. Therefore the closed user group with outgoing access facility is not used. (ie the open network is the only default allowed).

10.19 - Subscription Option - Bilateral Closed User Groups

10.20 Subscription Option Bilateral Closed User Groups with outgoing Access


Description of Option

Enables pairs of DTEs to form bilateral relations allowing access between each other while excluding access to or from other DTEs with which such a relation has not been formed.

A DTE may belong to one or more BCUGs. Different combinations of access restrictions for DTEs having these facilities result in various combinations of accessibility.

When a bilateral closed user group facility is used the called DTE address is not used, because the network can identify the remote DTE from the BCUG information. This provides a form of' short code addressing'.

10.20 Subscription Option Bilateral Closed User Groups with outgoing Access

Description of Option

As for Bilateral Closed User Group but also allows access to the open part of the network.

For a given BCUG, it is permissible for one DTE to subscribe to the BCUG facility while the other subscribes to the BCUG with outgoing access facility.
