| Introduction | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Welcome to the world of the 5ESS. In this file I will be covering | |
| the switch topology, hardware, software, and how to program the switch. I | |
| am sure this file will make a few people pissed off <grin> over at BellCORE. | |
| Anyways, the 5ESS switch is the best (I think) all around switch. Far | |
| better then an NT. NT has spent too much time with SONET and their S/DMS | |
| TransportNode OC48. Not enough time with ISDN, like AT$T has done. Not only | |
| that, but DMS 100s are slow, slow, slow! Though I must hand it to NT, their | |
| DMS-1 is far better then AT$T's SLC-96. | |
| What is the 5ESS | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The 5ESS is a switch. The first No. 5ESS in service was cut over in Seneca, | |
| Illinois (815) in the early 1982. This test ran into a few problem, but all | |
| and all was a success. The 5ESS is a digital switching system, this | |
| advantage was realized in No. 4 ESS in 1976. The 5ESS network is a TST | |
| (Time Space Time) topology, the TSIs (Time Slot Interchangers) each | |
| have their own processor, this makes the 5ESS one of the faster switches. | |
| Though I hear some ATM switches are getting up there. | |

| intermodule calls). | |
| - Switches time slots from one Interface Unit to another within the SM | |
| (for intramodule calls). | |
| Digital Service Unit (DSU) | |
| - Local DSU provides high usage service circuits, such as tone decoders | |
| and generators, for lines and trunks terminated on the SM. | |
| - Global DSU provides low usage service circuits, such as 3-port | |
| conference circuits and the Transmission Test Facility, for all lines | |
| and trunks in the office (requires 64 time slots). | |
| The SM may be equipped with four types of Interface Units: | |
| Line Unit (LU) | |
| - For terminating analog lines. | |
| - Contains a solid-state two-stage analog concentrator that provides | |
| access to 64 output channels. The concentrator can be fully equipped to | |
| provide 8:1 concentration or can be fully equipped to provide 6:1 or 4:1 | |
| concentration. | |
| - Each TU requires 64 time slots. | |
| Trunk Unit (TU) | |
| - For terminating analog trunks. | |
| - Each TU requires 64 time slots. | |
| Digital Line Trunk Unit (DLTU) | |
| - For terminating digital trunks and RSM's. | |
| - Each fully equipped DLTU requires 256 time slots. | |
| - A maximum of 10 DSls maybe terminated on one DLTU. | |
| The SM may be equipped with any combination of LU's, TU's, DCLU's and DLTU's | |
| totaling 512 time slots. | |
| 5ESS System Software | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The 5ESS is a UNIX based switch. UNIX has played a large part in | |
| switching systems since 1973 when UNIX was use in the Switching Control Center | |
| System (SCCS). The first SCCS was a 16 bit microcomputer. The use of | |
| UNIX for SCCS allowed development in C code, pseudo code, load test, | |
| structure and thought. This led the development of the other switching systems | |
| which AT$T produces today (such at System 75, 85, 1AESS AP, and 5ESS). | |
| NOTE: You may hear SCCS called the "mini" sometimes | |
| The 5ESS's /etc/getty is not set up for the normal login that one would | |
| expect to see on a UNIX System. This is due to the different channels that | |
| the 5ESS has. The some channels are the TEST Channel, Maintenance Channel, | |
| and RC Channel (which will be the point of focus). Once you are on one | |
| channel you can not change the channel, as someone has said " it is | |
| not a TV!" You are physically on the channel you are on. | |
| Test Channel | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The TEST channel is where one can test lines, and test the switch itself. | |
| This is where operating support systems (such as LMOS) operate from. | |
| This channel allows one to monitor lines via the number test trunk aka | |
| adding a third trunk), voltage test and line seizure. | |
| Here is a list of OSSs which access the test channels on the 5ESS. | |
| Group Operating Support Systems | |
| Special Service Center | |

| ADTS | |
| TIRKS | |
| TFTP | |
| TRCO | |
| DAMT | |
| ATICS | |
| etc... | |
| SCC Channel | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The SCC channel is where the SCC looks and watches the switch 24 hours a day, | |
| seven days a week! From this channel one can input RC messages if necessary. | |
| A lot of people have scanned these out, and though they were AMATs. Well this | |
| is in short, WRONG! Here is a sample buffering of what they are finding. | |

| This has nothing to do with AMA, this is switch output on say the SCC | |
| channel. This is used by the SCCS for logging, and monitoring of alarms. | |
| The whole point of this channel is to make sure the switch is doing what it | |
| should do, and to log all activity on the switch. NOTHING MORE! | |
| To go into these messages and say what they are would take far too long, | |
| order the OM manuals for the 5ESS, watch out, they are about 5 times the size of | |
| the IM (input manual) set. On average it takes someone three years of training | |
| to be able to understand all this stuff, there is no way anyone can write a | |
| little file in Phrack and hope all who read it understand everything about the | |
| 5ESS. RTFM! | |
| RC Channel | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The RC/V (Recent Change/Verify) Channel is where new features can be added or taken | |
| away from phone lines. This is the main channel you may come in contact with, | |
| if you come in contact with any at all. When one connects to a 5ESS RC/V channel | |
| one may be dumped to a CRAFT | |
| shell if the login has not been activated. Access to the switch when the | |
| login is active is controlled by lognames and passwords to restrict | |
| unwanted entry to the system. In addition, the SCC (Switching Control | |
| Center) sets permission modes in the 5ESS switch which control the RC | |
| (recent change) security function. | |
| The RC security function determines whether recent changes may be made | |
| and what types of changes are allowed. If a situation arises where the RC | |
| security function denies the user access to recent change via RMAS or RC | |
| channels, the SCC must be contacted so that the permission modes can be | |
| modified. (Hint Hint) | |
| The RC security function enables the operating telephone company | |
| to decide which of its terminals are to be allowed access to which | |
| set of RC abilities. NOTE that all verify input messages are always | |
| allowed and cannot be restricted, which does not help too much. | |
| The RC security data is not part of the ODD (office dependent data). | |
| Instead, the RC security data is stored in relatively safe DMERT operating | |
| system files which are only modifiable using the following message: | |
| SET:RCACCESS,TTY="aaaaa",ACCESS=H'bbbbb; | |
| where: aaaaa = Symbolic name of terminal in double quotes | |
| H' = Hexadecimal number indicator in MML | |
| bbbbb = 5-character hexadecimal field in 5E4 constructed | |
| from binary bits corresponding to RC ability. | |
| The field range in hexadecimal is from 00000 to | |
| FFFFF. | |
| This message must be entered for each type terminal (i.e. | |
| "aaaaa"="rmas1", "rmas2", etc., as noted above in | |
| TTY explanations). | |
| NOTE: Order IM-5D000-01 (5ESS input manual) or OM-5D000-01 (5ESS output manual) | |
| for more information on this and other messages from the CIC at 1-800-432-6600. | |
| You have the money, they have the manuals, do not ask, just order. I | |
| think they take AMEX! | |
| When the message is typed in, a DMERT operating system file is created | |
| for a particular terminal. The content of these files, one for each terminal, | |
| is a binary field with each bit position representing a unique set of RC | |
| abilities. Conversion of this hexadecimal field to binary is accomplished | |
| by converting each hexadecimal character to its equivalent | |
| 4-bit binary string. | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | |
| HEX BINARY | HEX BINARY | HEX BINARY | HEX BINARY | |
| -------------|--------------|--------------|-------------- | |
| 0 0000 | 4 0100 | 8 1000 | C 1100 | |
| -------------|--------------|--------------|-------------- | |
| 1 0001 | 5 0101 | 9 1001 | D 1101 | |
| -------------|--------------|--------------|-------------- | |
| 2 0010 | 6 0110 | A 1010 | E 1110 | |
| -------------|--------------|--------------|-------------- | |
| 3 0011 | 7 0111 | B 1011 | F 1111 | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Each bit position corresponds to a recent change functional area. | |
| A hexadecimal value of FFFFF indicates that all bit positions are | |
| set to 1 indicating that a particular terminal has total RC access. Also, | |
| verify operations as well as lettered classes are not included in the | |
| terminals security scheme since all terminals have access to verify views | |
| and lettered classes. | |
| In addition, maintenance personnel are able to verify the security | |
| code for any terminal by typing the following message from either | |
| the MCC (Master Control Center) or SCCS (Switching Control Center System) | |
| Mini terminal: | |
| OP:RCACCESS,TTY="xxxxx"; | |
| where: xxxxx = symbolic name of terminal in double quotes. | |
| Each bit position corresponds to a recent change functional area. | |
| To ensure redundancy, DMERT operating system files are backed up | |
| immediately on disk by the SCC. | |
| The input message that defines the password and CLERK-ID (another name for | |
| username) is in the Global RC feature. This input message defines a clerk-id | |
| and associated password or deletes an existing one. (Recall that CLERK-ID and | |
| PASSWORD are required fields on the Global RC Schedule view 28.1 in | |
| RCV:MENU:APPRC, but more on this later) | |
| This new input message is as follows: | |
| GRC:PASSWORD,CLERKID=xxxxxxxxxx,[PASSWD=xxxxxxxx|DELETE] | |
| Note: CLERKID can be from 1 to 10 alphanumeric characters and | |
| PASSWORD from 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters. | |
| This input message can only be executed from the MCC or SCCS | |
| terminals, and only one password is allowed per CLERK-ID. To | |
| change a clerk-id's password, this message is used with the same | |
| CLERK-ID but with a different password. | |

| When the security is set up on the RC/V channel, one will see: | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 5ESS login | |
| 15 WCDS0 5E6(1) ttsn-cdN TTYW | |
| Account name: | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| There are no defaults, since the CLERK-ID and the password are set by craft, | |
| but common password would be the name of the town, CLLI, MANAGER, SYSTEM, | |
| 5ESS, SCCS1, SCC, RCMAC, RCMAxx, etc,... | |
| If one sees just a " < " prompt you are at the 'craft' shell | |
| of the RC/V channel, the 5E login has not been set. The Craft shell is | |
| running on the DMERT (which is a UNIX environment development operating system, | |
| a System V hack). The Craft shell prompt is a "<". From this shell one | |
| will see several error messages. Here is a list and what they mean: | |
| Error Message Meaning | |
| ?A Action field contains an error | |
| ?D Data field contains an error | |
| ?E Error exists in the message but can not be resolved to | |
| the proper field (this is the "you have no idea" message) | |
| ?I Identification field contains an error | |
| ?T Time-out has occurred on channel | |
| ?W Warning exists in input line | |
| Other output message meanings, from the RC/V craft menu. | |
| OK Good | |
| PF Printout follows | |
| RL Retry later | |
| NG No good, typically hardware failure | |
| (ie: SM does not exist) | |
| IP In progress | |
| NA The message was not received by the backup control | |
| process | |
| When inputing RC messages it is best to do it in the middle of the day | |
| since RC messages are sent to each channel! The SCC is watching and if | |
| there are RC messages running across at 3 in the morning, the SCC is going | |
| to wonder what the hell RCMAC (Recent Change Memory Administration Center) | |
| is doing at three in the morning! However, one may be hidden by MARCH's | |
| soaking, and the night shift at the SCC are overloaded and may miss | |
| what is going on while correcting other major problems. So it is up to | |
| you. | |
| DMERT | |
| ~~~~~ | |
| The DMERT (Duplex Multiple Environment Real Time) uses the Western | |
| Electric (another name for AT$T!) 3B20D Duplex processor (or 2 3B20S | |
| Simplex processors). The DMERT software totals nearly nine thousand | |
| source files, one million lines of non-blank source code, | |
| and was developed by approximately 200 programers. There are eight main | |
| releases of this software, they are referred to as generics (like 5E4.1, | |
| 5E4.2, to 5E8.1 also seen as 5E4(1), 5E4(2) to 5E8(1), this can be though | |
| of as DOS version). DMERT is similar to regular UNIX but can be best described | |
| as a custom UNIX system based on the 3B20D, the DMERT OS can be ported to | |
| PDP-11/70s or a large IBM Mainframe. The DMERT operating system is split both | |
| logically and physically. Physically, the software is evenly divided across | |
| the five (there were seven Software Development systems all running a 3B20S | |
| where the DMERT code was written) Software Development systems. Logical, the | |
| software is divided into twenty-four different subsystems. To access this | |
| from the "craft" shell of the RC/V channel, type: | |
| RCV:MENU:SH! | |
| NOTE: | |
| This will dump one to a root shell, from which VaxBuster's (Who knows nothing | |
| about VAXen, always wondered about him) file on how to redirect a TTY may | |
| come in useful. | |
| Programing the 5ESS | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| When programing the 5ESS there are things one should know, the first is that | |
| one has a lot of power (just keep 911 in mind, it would be foolish to even | |
| think of disrupting anyones service. 911 is there for a reason, it should STAY | |
| that way). And anything one does is logged, and can be watched from the | |
| SCC. Note that the night SCC crew is a lot more lax on how things are done | |
| then the day shift, so it would be best to do this at night. I could tell you | |
| how to crash the switch in two seconds, but that is not the point here. | |
| Destroying something is easy, anyone can do that, there is no point to it. | |
| All that taking down a switch will do is get one into jail, and get sued if | |
| someone needed 911 etc,... (I think SRI is wishing they had talked to me | |
| now). | |
| RC from Craft Shell on RC/V Channel | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| RC and VFY is complex from the craft shell on the RC/V channel. | |
| This is called the input text option. It is accessed by using the | |
| RCV:APPTEXT: | |
| This gets a little complex to follow, but the best thing to do | |
| is to order the Manual 235-118-215 Recent Change Procedures Text Interface | |
| [5E4] it is $346.87, another good one to get is 235-118-242, for $413 even | |
| and last, but the best is 235-118-243, this beast is only $1344.63 what a | |
| deal. When calling the CIC they will transfer you to a rep. from your area. | |
| Gets to be kind of a pain in the ass, but.. Anyways, back on track: | |

| DATA - This is for more then one RC operation in the same command | |
| FORM - The format that is to be used | |
| SUMMARY - Turns on one line summaries on the read only printer (ROP) (DEFULT) | |
| NSUMMARY - Turns off one line summary logging by the ROP | |
| VFYIMMED - Prints out verifies (VFYs) immediately, does not wait for | |
| session end. | |
| VFYEND - Prints out all VFYs at session end, this is the DEFULT. | |
| VFYNMVAL - Print verify output in name-value pair format, this must be | |
| directed into a file (see DEVICE). | |
| VFYSCIMG - Makes output into screen size image (DEFULT). | |
| DEVICE - Redirect verify output to a device other than ones screen. | |
| ROP/ROP0 - Send verify output to the ROP | |
| STDOUT - Send verify output to ones screen (DEFULT) | |
| TTYx - Send verify output to any valid tty (such as | |
| ttya and ttyv) that exists in "/dev." You | |
| must use the tty name, not tty number. | |
| FILE - Send verify output to a file in "/rclog". The | |
| file will be prefixed with "RCTX", and the user | |
| will be given the name of the file at the | |
| beginning and end of the APPTEXT session. | |
| END - END of message. | |
| If the parameter is not entered on the command line, it may be | |
| entered after the APPTEXT process begins, but must be entered prior to the | |
| first "FORM=" statement. Here is a example of a MML RCV:APPTEXT. | |
| rcv:apptext:data,form=2v1&vfy,set="oe.entype"&lset="oe.len"&xxxxxxxx,pty=i,vfy! | |
| The 2V1 may look strange at first, it may help getting use to the basics | |
| first. To just VFY telephone numbers, just do a: | |
| RCV:APPTEXT:DATA,FORM=1V6-VFY,TN=5551212,VFY,END! | |
| Though I can not really explain this any more then I have just due to | |
| time and space. These input messages may look complex at first, but are | |
| really simple, and much better then dealing with the menu system, but | |
| you will need to learn RC yourself! No one can explain it to you. | |
| Pulling AMA from the RC/V channel Craft Shell | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Pulling AMA up is done with one command. The command is: | |
| OP:AMA:SESSION[,ST1|,ST2]; | |
| This command will request a report of the current or most recent automatic | |
| message accounting (AMA) tape. ST1 and ST2 are the data streams. | |
| Pulling up out of Service Lines, Trunks or Trunk Groups | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| One may want to pull up all the out of service lines, trunks, or | |
| trunk groups for many reasons. These reasons i will not go into, but | |
| from which lines can be set up. The command to do this from the craft | |
| shell is a PDS command, this command is with a 'ball bat' (a `` ! ''). | |
| OP:LIST,LINES[,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]! | |
| OP:LIST,TRUNKS[,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]! | |
| OP:LIST,TG [,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]! | |
| FULL - All (primary and pending) are printed. Note FULL is not the | |
| default when inputing this command. | |
| PRINT - Print to the ROP in the CO. (Not a good idea) | |
| a-e - This is port status to match against the subset of trunks, lines | |
| or trunk groups that are specified. (This is required input | |
| for FULL) | |
| The 5ESS RC/V Menu Shell | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| To access this shell from the RC/V channel craft shell, type: | |
| RCV:MENU:APPRC | |
| at the `` < '' prompt. | |
| To access the 5ESS RC/V menu system from the MCC, STLWS, and TLWS | |
| channel/terminals, one uses what are called pokes. The poke that | |
| is used here to access the RC/V Menu system on the 5ESS is 196. | |
| Type 196 at the `` CMD< '' prompt, and you are on the RC/V menu system | |
| of the 5ESS switch. This will cause ``RC/V 196 STARTING'' and | |
| ``RC/V 196 COMPLETED'' to be printed out on the ROP. | |
| Either way, this will toss you into a menu system. The main menu looks like | |
| this: | |

| When using the RC/V menu system of the 5ESS, you may go and just keep going into | |
| sub-menus, and fall off the end of the Earth. Here are the navigational | |
| commands that are used to move around the menu system. As seen from the | |
| RC/V menu system help, you see "SCREEN X out of X." This means that there are | |
| so many screens to go and to move between the screens you use the `` < '' to | |
| move back (toward main menu) and `` > '' to move to the last menu. I know it | |
| is shown in the help menu, but it is not explained like it needs to be. | |
| Batch Input | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| The Batch Input feature for the 5ESS switch allows recent changes (RC) | |
| to be entered at any date and time when the RC update would be | |
| performed. This allows RC input to be entered quickly, and for a large | |
| number of inputs. The large numbers of RC input can be released | |
| quickly in batch mode. The RC input can then be entered at any time, | |
| stored until needed, and then released for use by the system | |
| whenever needed, at any specific date and/or time. | |
| First and second level error correction is done during batch input. | |
| There are several different modes of batch input. These are: | |
| BMI - batch mode input - TIMEREL and DEMAND | |
| BMD - batch mode display | |
| BMR - batch mode release | |
| BMI - Batch Mode Input - TIMEREL and DEMAND | |
| Entering BMI (Batch Mode Input), one types `` BMI '' at the RC/V | |
| menu prompt. Once entering, you will be prompted with whether | |
| the input is DEMAND (demand) or TIMEREL (Time Release). DEMAND | |
| input allows one to manual have the batch update the database, | |
| TIMEREL is automatic. TIMEREL has one enter a time and date. | |
| When using DEMAND, you will be prompted for the file name. The | |
| file will be in `` /rclog '' in the DMERT OS. | |
| In TIMEREL, you will be prompted with the CLERK-ID, which in this | |
| case is the file name for the file in the `` /rclog ''. Then | |
| for VERBOSE options, the RC SRVOR (Recent Change Service Order) | |
| is displayed on the screen. | |
| -RC SRVOR View in the BMI TIMEREL Batch Option- | |

| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| ORDNO = Service Order Number | |
| ITNO = Item Number | |
| MSGNO = Message Number | |
| RDATE = Release Date (Update database Date) | |
| RTIME = Release Time (Update database Time) | |
| BMD - batch mode display | |
| BMD is a "mask" of RC/V done from the RC/V channel craft shell, by using the | |
| REPT:RCHIST or a pseudo menu system. All transactions are displayed on the ROP, | |
| though the data could also be sent to a file in the `` /rclog '' in DMERT. | |
| The Pseudo menu system looks like: | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1. Summary of clerk activity | |
| 2. Activity by service order number | |
| 3. Activity by clerk ID | |
| 4. Return to view or class menu. | |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1 allows one to view the "DELAYED RELEASE SUMMARY REPORT." | |
| 2 produces a "DELAYED RELEASE REPORT BY SERVICE ORDER." | |
| 3 produces the "DELAYED RELEASE REPORT BY CLERK ID." | |
| 4 Return to view or class menu, self-explanatory. | |
| REPT:RCHIST - BMD | |
| The REPT:RCHIST BMD (Text) command is done from the RC/V channel craft | |
| shell. The command synopsis is: | |
| 5E2 - 5E5 (Generics) | |
| REPT:RCHIST,CLERK=[,FORMAT={SUMMARY|DETAIL}]{[,ALL]|[,PENDING][,COMPLETE] | |
| [,ERROR][,DEMAND]}[,DEST=FILENAME][,TIME=XXXXXXXXXX]; | |
| 5E6 - 5E8 (Generics) | |
| REPT:RCHIST,CLERK=a[,FORMAT={SUMMARY|DETAIL}] {,ALL|,b}[,DEST={c|FILE}] | |
| [,TIME=XXXXXXXXXX]; | |
| SUMMARY - Report selection, format by key. | |
| DETAIL - Report selection for Recent Change entire. | |
| ALL - Report all recent changes. | |
| PENDING - Report pending recent change input. | |
| COMPLETE - Report released recent changes that was successful | |
| when completed. | |
| FILE - Name for file in /rclog | |
| ERROR - Report recent changes released with error. | |
| DEMAND - Report demand recent changes. | |
| TIME=XXXXXXXXXX - XX - mounth, XX - day, XX - hour, XX minute, XX - Second | |
| BMR - batch mode release | |
| This is the manual release (updating) of the 5ESS database. This is done | |
| from the RC/V channel craft shell. The command that is used is the EXC:RCRLS | |
| input message. There is no real need to go into this message. | |
| Adding RCF (Remote Call Forward) on a 5ESS | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 1. At the "MENU COMMANDS" commands prompt of the 5ESS main menu in the | |
| RC/V APPRC menu system of the 5ESS, enter '12' for the "BRCS FEATURE | |
| DEFINITION". Then access screen '1.11', this is the BRCS screen. When it | |
| asks you to 'ENTER DATABASE OPERATION' enter "U" for Update and hit | |
| return. | |
| NOTE: When at menu '12,' you will NOT see '1.11' listed in the menu | |
| options. By just accessing menu '1' you will not be able to add features. | |
| This is a problem with the 5ESS menu system. | |
| 2. Type in the Telephone Number. It should look like this: | |

| P - to print the current screen | |
| U - to update the form | |
| Enter `` C '' to change, access filed 11 and row 1 (goto the /CFV | |
| wherever it may be) or add /CFR if it is not there. If it does though, | |
| leave the "A" (Active) field "N" (Yes or No). Change the P (Presentation) | |
| column to "U" (Update). Then Hit Return. | |
| NOTE: Different Generics have other fields, one of them being a AC (Access | |
| Code) field. This field is a logical field, that mean only accepts a | |
| "Y" for yes and "N" for no. Also when adding the feature to the switch, | |
| the row and field numbers may not be shown, but will always follow this | |
| pattern. Also note that the /CFV (Call forwarding variable) feature may not | |
| be there, there maybe no features on the line. These examples are from | |
| Generic 4 (2). Here is a example of 5E8 (which is not used too many places, | |

| number already on LINE1. If not retype the telephone number you want | |
| forwarded. The bottom of the screen will say "ENTER UPDATE, CHANGE, VALIDATE | |
| OR PRINT:", type "C" for change and hit return. | |
| 5. When it says CHANGE FIELD type "9" and enter your forward to DN (Destination | |
| Number) including NPA if necessary. This will put you back to the "CHANGE | |

| Adding other features | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| To add other features onto a line, follow the same format for adding the | |
| /CFR, but you may not need to access 1.22. Some other features are: | |
| Feature Code: Feature Name: | |
| /LIDLXA - CLID | |
| /CFR - Remote Call Forward | |
| /CWC1 - Call Waiting | |
| /CFBLIO - call forward busy line i/o | |
| /CFDAIO - call forward don't answer i/o | |
| /CFV - call forwarding variable | |
| /CPUO - call pick up o !used in the selq1 field! | |
| /CPUT - call pick up t !used in the tpredq field! | |
| /CWC1D - Premiere call waiting | |
| /DRIC - Dist. ring | |
| /IDCT10 - Inter room ID | |
| /IDCTX2 - 1digit SC | |
| /IDCTX2 - Interoom ID 2 | |
| /IDCTX2 - Premiere 7/30, convenience dialing | |
| /IDCTX3 - Premiere 7/30, no cd | |
| /IDMVP1 - Premiere 2/6, no convenience dialing | |
| /IDMVP2 - Premiere 2/6, CD, not control sta. | |
| /IDMVP3 - Premiere 2/6, CD, control station | |
| /MWCH1 - Call hold | |
| /MWCTIA2 - Call transfer 2 | |
| /TGUUT - Terminal group ID number with TG view (1.29). | |
| ANI/F the whole switch | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Automatic Number Identification failure (also called "dark calls") are | |
| caused by variety of different things. To understand this better, here are | |
| the technical names and causes, note this is not in stone and the causes | |
| are not the only causes for a ANI-F to occur. | |
| ANF -- Failure to receive automatic number identification | |
| (ANI) digits on incoming local access and transport | |
| area (LATA) trunk. | |
| ANF2 -- Automatic number identification (ANI) collected by | |
| an operator following a failure to receive ANI | |
| digits on an incoming centralized automatic | |
| message accounting (CAMA) trunk from the DTMF decoder. | |
| ANI -- Time-out waiting for far off-hook from Traffic | |
| Service Position System (TSPS) before sending ANI | |
| digits. | |
| Though, I have always wondered how to set one up myself in a safe way. | |
| One way nice way to get ANI/F through a 5ESS to use a inhibit command. | |
| INH:CAMAONI; | |
| The command will inhibits centralized automatic message accounting (CAMA) | |
| operator number identification (ONI) processing. This is done from the DTMF | |
| decoder (going over later). This message will cause a minor alarm too occur. | |
| If in the CO when the alarm occurs, you will here this bell all the time, | |
| because something is always going out. In this case, this alarm is a level 1 | |
| (max to five) and the bell will ring once. | |
| Once this message is inputed, all calls through CAMA operator will be | |
| free of change. So just dial the operator and you will have free calls. | |
| To place this back on the switch, just type: | |
| ALW:CAMAONI; | |
| and the minor alarm will stop, and things will go back to normal. | |
| Setting up your own BLV on the 5ESS from the Craft shell RC/V Channel | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| Well, we have come to the fun part, how to access the No-Test trunk on | |
| the 5ESS (this is also called adding the third trunk). I will not be too | |
| specific on how to do this. You will need to figure out just how to do this. | |
| The first thing you want to do is to request a seizure of a line for | |
| interactive trunk and line testing. One must assign a test position (TP). | |
| SET:WSPHONE,TP=a,DN=b | |
| SET:WSPOS,TP=a,DN=b | |
| a = A number between 1 and 8 | |
| b = The number you wish assigned to the test position | |
| This will chose a number to be the test number on the switch. Now using | |
| the CONN:WSLINE one can set up a BLV. | |
| CONN:WSLINE,TP=a,DN=b; | |
| a = TP that you set from the SET:WSPOS | |
| b = The number you want to BLV | |
| To set this up on a MLHG (can come in real useful for those peksy | |
| public packet switched networks), do a: | |
| CONN:WSLINE,TP=a,MLHG=x-y; | |
| x = MLHG number, y = MLHG member number | |
| To take set things back to normal and disconnect the BLV do a: | |
| DISC:WSPHONE,TP=z | |
| z = TP 1 through 8 | |
| NOTE: | |
| One may need to do a ALW:CALLMON before entering the CONN commands | |
| BIG NOTE: | |
| If you set your home telephone number as the test position, and you | |
| have only one phone line, you are stupid. | |
| Comments about the Underground | |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| There are a few people out there who have no idea what they are doing, and | |
| go on thinking they know it all (i.e. No Name Brand). It pisses me off when | |
| these people just go off and make shit up about things they have no idea | |
