ANSI National Operations The ANSI Operation Codes are divided into an Operation Family and an Operation Specifier. Each specifier belongs to a family and must be interpreted in the context of that family | ANSI National Operations The ANSI Operation Codes are divided into an Operation Family and an Operation Specifier. Each specifier belongs to a family and must be interpreted in the context of that family. ANSI defines a base set of national operation codes and parameters. At the time of this writing these codes and parameters continue to be used for IN services such as toll-free and LNP however specifications now exist to provide the AIN-equivalent functionality for these services. Table 10-21 lists the operation families with their associated specifiers and definitions. Table 10-20.
