I'm a central office person trying to assist a vendor with outbound CLID. The customer wants to send the CLID as private (so the CLID is not displayed at the terminating end). This is an NI-2 PRI and per TELCORDIA, the LEC is not allowed to alter the presentation indicator (on NI-2) sent by the customer. If no CLID is sent, then the default in the central office (DMS-100) is to send the pilot number (main billing telephone number). We have reviewed all the setting on the BCM, but there does not appear to be a setting in the BCM to mark the presentation indicator to "restricted". I know they can send 000-000-0000 (via OLI) or any other fake number, but this is not really a solution. Shown below is a solution from the Nortel website, but it relates of a PRI in the European market. Is there something similar in the North American market?

How to block CLI on the BCM/Norstar?

Problem Resolution

Fix:
Use the feature code F819 or Press F819, but what does this do? That
depends. Below is for ETSI ISDN only.

1. For PRI, the BCM uses "suppression bit". This means that an ISDN
information element is sent down the D-channel during the call set-up,
this tells the exchange to withhold the CLI. There is no programming to
change this.

2. For BRI there are 2 options:
A. Under Loop programming set the "ONN blocking state" to Suppression
bit - then the same as above will happen
B. Under Loop programming set the "ONN blocking state"Service code"
with this set, the BCM sends extra digits in front of the dialling
string to the exchange. But what digits? Those set in Telco features >
ONN blocking. The exchange then reacts to the numbers. For example, 141
in the UK
Suppression bit conforms to the ETSI standard Service code is not part
of ETSI standard but is used by BT. The set you are dialling from must
have a valid OLI number for this to work, otherwise the exchange may
send the "main" number.
Note: To un-block that is to undo F819 do a F#819.
