The H-line input is the SO number, where n can be alphabetic and x can be
numeric. TN is the affected telephone number, JR is the Jeopardy Reason,
which is a one alpha/one numeric code, RMK is a ReMarK, in this case, a tie
pair is needed. The section that starts and ends with two asterisks is the
COSMOS output, and the rest of the information should be self-explanatory.
LFACS
-----
The LFACS system keeps an inventory of outside loop plant facilities, such
as cables (CA), cable pairs (CP), serving terminals, interconnecting points,
cross-connecting terminals, and things of that nature which should be known to
the serious phreak. By the way, if you want to get some very good information
about the outside loop plant, look for Phucked Agent 04's article in the LOD/H
Technical Journal issue number 1. These are excellent files and I recommend
that every phreak read them if they haven't already. Anyway, LFACS also
assigns the outside loop plant facilities to ARs received from SOAC as a
result of customer SO activity. The assignment process is automatic on 95% of
the service requests.
LFACS provides a computerized version of DPAC and ECCR (Dedicated Plant
Assignment Cards and Exchange Cable Conductor Records respectively) which were
previously physical records that were stored at the LAC. The information
stored in DPAC is information such as data about a Living Unit Serving
Terminal, and Living Unit Dedicated Loop Facilities, and ECCR contains
information such as Pair Selection, Add/Break count, Line and Station
Transfer, as well as Work Order (WO) information. Some of this information
may be used by the LAC Field Assistance Bureau to assist the outside plant
craft in obtaining necessary information.
When conditions necessary for LFACSS to automatically respond to a SOAC AR
are not met, a RMA noticed is generated in the LAC. Appropriate people in the
LAC will interact with LFACS, and maybe SOAC and WM/COSMOS to complete the
process of assignment.
COSMOS
------
COSMOS has been written about many times, so I will not go into deep
detail about this system as many people are already familiar with it.
COSMOS keeps a database inventory of CO facilities (such as TN, CP, OE,
CS, BL - telephone number, cable pair, office equipment, class of service,
bridge lifter respectively) and assigns these facilities to ARs received from
SOAC as a result of customer SO activity.
COSMOS assists the Network Administration Center (NAC) and Frame Control
Center (FCC) in managing, controlling, and utilizing the MDF and COE, as well
as CO facilities and circuits. COSMOS does assignment of TNs, line equipment,
jumper use/reuse, TP management, frame work management, and other things of
that nature.
When the conditions are not met for COSMOS to respond to a SOAC AR, a RMA
is generated in the LAC (as with the other systems mentioned in this article).
The LAC can then use WM/COSMOS, SOAC, and LFACS to complete assignment.
WM
--
The WM is what links one set of SOAC/LFACS systems with one or more COSMOS
systems. All input to COSMOS from the LAC is directed through the WM. The WM
provides message switching, load control, and other functions to the LAC.

I hope the information presented in this article has been of interest to
all who read it. I have not included as much information as I could have,
some sensitive information has not been included because it could cause
problems. My personal thanks goes out to the fine people who designed the
FACS system, as well as to all the telephone companies in existence, for
without you, phone phreaks would not exist. Thank you for allowing us access
to your networks, although this access is taken rather than given. Try hiring
a phreak sometime, it might be beneficial.
A note to telecom/computer enthusiasts who read this article: DO NOT
SCREW ANYTHING UP! IF YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO USE THIS DATA IN A
WISE AND NON-ABUSIVE WAY THEN DISCARD THIS ARTICLE NOW AND PRETEND LIKE YOU
NEVER READ IT.

I was toying with the idea of writing a history of the Microcomputer

some recollections of a Telecommunications Hobbyist thrown in for spice.
