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

Limitations are:

UK(b) - CUGs are supported but they may not be necessary because security can be provided by giving the user a 'profile' which defines who can access their circuit. Extended format of CUG not supported.

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.
