Hi Pavel,<BR>
<BR>
Thank you very much for you information!<BR>
<BR>
As we know now that an ST is appended to the end of the called party number, a further question is: why is it appended? Is it used to indicate that complete called party number has been sent? <BR>
<BR>
When overlap signaling is used, when enough digits have been collected to identify the next exchange, an IAM is sent to the next exchange along the route to the called party, the remaining digits are sent in subsequent SAM messages. I guess that the ST address signal is used specifically for an SAM message to indicate whether it is the last one of a series of SAM's preceded by an IAM. <BR>
<BR>
Do I make a right guess? I failed to find clear descriptions of the usage of ST signal address in the ITU Q series standards. I hope that you or someone else will kindly help me out with this issue and refer me to the standard that documents the usage of the ST address signal. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks again and good luck!<BR>
<BR>
Tian<BR>
