My understanding is that the software changes put in a back channel allowing the first and last hosts in the cascade to communicate. The final hop, on seeing that it was connecting through to the site of interest, would send a note back to the first hop, which would then connect the access with the originating host, and send the whole thing on to the authorities.

As to whether they were required to do this, my understanding is that they were.
