       Many functions - in one body

Alexander Krutko


  Let's consider this curious
fact, as the emergence in the early 90-ies on the
consumer market of the European part
USSR, the so-called "Multi-functional phone
automatic number identification (hereinafter
"ANI").

  A distinctive feature is that
that AON, in all of its functions is not
with foreign counterparts, originated as
good potential of mass demand,
mysterious depths of the Slavic soul (Zelenograd, Moscow 
Region.), who wishes to translate into a new home a toy for 
adults his dream: to have something close, dear,

manageable and obedient.

  While the "West" tends to simplify the management of 
electronic gadgets wide demand, reducing everything to 
pragmatism, modern developers, the descendants of the ancient

Russia, fulfilling his abilities in the AON, the
thus develop the intellectual aspirations of our people to the 
knowledge of himself through others.


  Multifunctionality AONa helps people in the shortest time 
will automatically establish a connection to the desired caller 
without lifting the handset, to obtain information about the 
caller, recall the need dial a phone number in

some time with the ability to specify
specific day of the week - it is only in general terms, a small 
part of what allows AON.


  The first home-made automatic number detectors with analog
filters have been around since the mid 70's.

  But mass production has begun AONov
in the 80's - after appearing on the consumer market first 
processor KR580VM80 (at the time - K580IK80) and then

and more powerful - Z80, which allowed processing of signals 
from different sensors.


  AON work can be divided into two areas.

  The first is the "service":

  - Set the current time (hours, minutes, seconds, year, month, 
day); 

  - Work with the alarm (up to 10 alarms with zadavemymi tunes 
and a response time of these parameters, with the ability to 
dial a specified time for a given number);


  - Mode "cuckoo" (off) - beep every hour or voice
support (there is an electronic speech synthesizer), the 
current time - through loudspeaker;


  - Ability to set the desired speed dialing, line and 
parameters set (intermediate pauses, job code

Released on long-distance, number of digits taken for a given 
population item, etc.) - pulsed or tone dialing method - up to 
28 digits in the dialed number, redial by lying at the tube, 
and sound control carried out through the loudspeaker;


  - Sequential mode dial to
several rooms (up to ten phone numbers -
if the previous lesson);

  - Electronic notebook on the 59 rooms and an additional 41 
rooms - special purpose; 

  - E-bank reference number,
recruited from AONa or parallel phone - remembering the date 
and time of recruitment and duration of the call; 

  - Hold the line while on-
tube until until lifted
tube on a parallel machine;

  - Indication of time on the current conversation;

  - Work using traditional push-button
phone while off-hook;

  - To display on the indicator recruited
facilities;

  - Much more, than you can personally
sure, acquiring AON.

  The second area involves functions AONa
a so-called Service-defined parameters:

  - Automatic number identification zvonyashego subscriber - 
without lifting the handset or when it is off-hook on AONe or 
parallel device; 

  - Fixing in the memory of the 100 rooms Caller - with time, 
date and category, as well as voice; numbers and time of call, 
with the possibility of plays this information with other 
phones, specifically referred to the electronic notebook; 

  - The possibility of reprogramming various settings from 
another phone; 

  - Selection of callers - desirable / undesirable;

  - Mode of redirection - where to call and
at what time;

  - Much, much more.

  When purchasing AONa you can slightly
disappoint departmental requirements peculiar monopoly - "... 
Telecom, offering to pay the increased 1,5 - 2 times the rate 
for the right to use ANI - on that we can go, or ignore with 
dignity - as the inner "I" will tell. 

  A special law-abiding citizens who do not want to pay still 
higher tariff, should know that the function of determining the 
numbers AONom can programmatically disable (if determining the 
number ANI special pulses produces a request for ATC to issue 
number from which the call - which is the main argument "... 
the telecom" financial pressure on owners

AONa) - and enjoy the variety of outstanding features that are 
in scope in 1,5 - 2 times higher than the service provided by 
telephone "Panasonic" with LCD indicator without the automatic 
number identification and no less than 20% higher price - in 
comparison with AONom in a similar case.


  Caller ID connects to the telephone network and
equipped with an external power supply.



           Commercial side

           production and marketing


  As already mentioned, Caller ID is going to
commercially available body of the phone
push-button device tsifronabora with discarding the excess and 
maintaining the required ", which is inserted into specially 
designed for this scheme with a tight installation electronic 
components. The acquisition immediately most of the telephone 
is the first item of expenditure, then follows a number of 
components produced on the radio factory in Ukraine, Russia and 
the West manufacturers.


  For technological convenience and the relative availability 
of the first automatic number detectors was started in the 
casing of the telephone plant "WEF".


  After the collapse of the USSR and the Baltic branch of the 
purchase prices on vehicles, "WEF" have increased, inflation 
has added its contribution, that led to the gradual 
displacement of these housing more affordable Korean

production of a flat housing (so-called
"Soap").

  It should be noted that automatic number detectors in the 
housing "WEF" continue to compete with the apparatus of the 
South Korean and Chinese production due to good reliability of 
the metal contact groups when recruiting figures - in contrast 
to the upgraded contacts of conductive rubber, used 
"dalnezarubezhnymi" producers. 

  Building "WEF" also has sufficient
degree of reliability, including the weight and do not
"Take off" for the tube when it is removed from the
lever - that in some degree typical
for easier "Soap", which, in
turn differs neat and comfortable appearance.

  Consider one of the last options - in the case "Technica" 
(South Korean or Chinese origin), which in appearance is analog 
phone "Panasonic" (Japanese production).


  The application of this body, which has, besides the basic 
12-button tsifronabora, 11 additional specialized buttons

greatly simplifies the work with your phone
accelerating access to a range of functions. Inclined
front of the phone (with the possibility
its vertical fixed to the wall) and
available dimensions allow you to enter additional circuit 
innovations in fee and the appearance at this great lensless 
LED portends this body a bright future.


  The only alternative may be
hope to release the phone otechetsvennymi producers, especially
for the manufacture of their base AONov - for the CIS market 
(including the tape transport mechanism - for implementation in 
one package AONom mode answering machine recording messages, 
the regime provided for in the software service AONa), as well 
as Export - yes! - Our Caller ID is already quietly

penetrate the markets of Bulgaria, Poland, Czech Republic, 
Slovakia - limited until these countries due to language 
barrier software (voice and a description of the functions AONa 
- in Russian). 

  Currently, the market price in AONa
case "Technica" is $ 55-75 - in
Depending on the professionalism of the manufacturer, place of 
purchase, warranty, an additional service to install and learn 
the basics of using your phone and others.


  On a par with the circuit solutions
software such majoring microcomputer as Caller ID, is an 
integral part of the phone. And if 5-6 years ago, the software 
places a chip ROM capacity of 8 Kbytes, then the modern 
programs require capacity not less than 64 Kbytes.


  Software development versions of the Moscow
a series of "Rus" to this day are essential for AONov 
distributed in Russia. 

  However, the technical parameters of the dial
and determining the numbers proved to be unsatisfactory for use 
on the PBX Ukraine. 

  This led to the emergence
Alternatively - Kharkov
versions of the series "Julia."

  Competition in the market between the developers version of 
the software makes the last cut style of the handling 
instructions AONom. 

  Build time AONov "on hands and knees" by individual craftsmen 
for mass sale passes. Survive only businesses

existing human, economic and industrial potential for production
AONov bulk.

  But the output is limited to marketing problems: the 
functionality AONa can be fully realized only

where the serving exchanges themselves have so-called
"A system of automatic number identification", ie which do not 
require a set of rates when calling long distance, that while

implemented, mainly in large cities.

  However, "... Telecom has threatened the very
