I heard the guys over at A-S mag, (Anti-Social magazine) are going to do a 'review' of our zine. As we've always said before, go for it, we welcome any input/crititism. In this issue we've made a few updates and changes to the usuall blabber we stick in the zine. For starters, we have cut down on codes, and increased the amount of technical information available in the zine. We are also going to start a new column, run by bodie called SUIDside, and also new sections dedicated to the exploration of UK and US switching/signaling mechanisms and structures. Please take the time to read f41th, as it takes a long time to put together. I would like to apologise to anyone that has visited the darkcyde.8m.com site and noticed the fucked up html (my fault) I just finished making the new site, with frames etc, uploaded it, but guess what-- freeservers lame ass java scripts and banners messed all the up, and now the site is even worse. If there is anyone out there that could kick us down a nice subnet server, that would be cool. We also need distro sites/servers for f41th mag, any offers? (webmaster@darkcyde.8m.com) I'd like to say word to all the darkcyde members that have helped out in keeping the grewp alive, and word to all writters in this zine. Hopefully f41th will keep on going, even though we are a bunch of lazy pimps, we'll always keep the info flowing :] Word to 9x, b4b0, and all the peeps in #darkcyde #telkore #legions #2600-uk #9x EFNET.

I thought i would just write up something kind unusual but powerful if you keep studing it. This is just a gateway to learning switch. Tandems: Switches that consolidate traffic, reduce trunk group requirements, and switch interoffice traffic. They allow U S WEST to manage the network more economically. Also referred to as "local" and "access" tandems. CLLI codes: Stand for Competetive Local Exchange Carrier and are 11 digit codes that RBOC's assign to the C.O's location. Reading CLLI codes: PHNXAZMA01T Yes these 11 digit codez actually mean something. The Letters 5and6 represent the state, 7and8 are the C.O's name and 9 thru 11 is the specific equiptment name.

The first satellite to ever orbit the earth on october 4, 1957 was the Russians Sputnik. Next was "SCORE" which was the first communications satellite in 1958, able to broadcast only a single voice taped messege from President Eisenhower "Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men". Thus begun an everlasting race to see who could build the most sophisticated satellite. Sometime In the 60's Americans jumped in to the race with Telstar which was far more sophisticated than Sputnik. Today there are more than 3,000 satellites in orbit. Each and everyone of those sends signals down to earth and recieves signals from earth to the satellite. These are called an Uplink and a Downlink. The Uplink is when the base reciever uploads information to the satellite such as its coordinates ans programing for the satallites viewers. Just think how many signals that is if every satellite can produce over 25,000 signals. These signals are in groups of frequencys I have made a list of what bands control what frequencys (The ones with * next to them are based around just satellite signaling): VHF 30 to 300 mhz UHF 300 to 3000 mhz L-Band 0.5 to 1.5 ghz *C band 4 to 8 ghz *Ku band 10.9 to 17 ghz *Ka band 18 to 31 ghz Satellites are used for many different things such as: Satellite TV Radio GPS Weather Telephone Calls over Seas In this text I will try to cover most of these. There are 3 different kinds of Satellites that I am formilliar with: GEOS LEOS and MEOS: GEOS (Geosynchronous earth orbiting satellites) are the most common of all satellites. These satellites orbit the earth in Geosynchronous Orbit which is 22,300 miles above earth. GEOS are slowly becoming obsolite because of there distance from earth. This effects the speed of data that the satellite is transfering to earth. This is why most companys now a days are purchasing LEOS (Low Earth Orbiting Satellites) these satellites cruise around 2,000-4,000 feet these satellites are alot closer to earth hence making the data flow faster than GEOS do. Many pager and cellphone companys are starting to use LEOS as there main satellite just because the reception is alot better and can provide world wide connections (check out www.iridium.com). A good thing about GEOS is that basically they can cover more geographical area than LEOS cause they are higher and can cover more land. Now MEOS (Medium Earth Orbiting Satellites) are basically just a weather satellite they orbit around 10,000 feet. TVRO/Television Signals Satellite TV is a system such as "Direct TV" or the "Dish Network" These are what are called TVRO (Tele Vision Recieve Only) and are becoming very popular among people these days. There are about 5.1 million installations of TVRO's today in North America and are becomeing popular in forign contries as we speak. The Satellite TV bands are: S)Band 1700)3000 MHz C)Band 3700)4200 MHz Ku1)Band 10.9)11.75 GHz Ku2)Band 11.75)12.5 GHz (DBS) Ku3)Band 12.5)12.75 GHz Ka)Band 18.0)20.0 GHz Now to Reach these Signals you will need a C/Ku Band Reciever and a C/Ku band Dish these can be ordered on the interenet I have included some sites where you can purchase these. Here is a list of the Downlink Freq's for C/Ku band: Channel 1 = 3720/11730 MHz Channel 13 = 3960/12096 MHz Channel 2 = 3740/11743 Channel 14 = 3980/12109 Channel 3 = 3760/11791 Channel 15 = 4000/12157 Channel 4 = 3780/11804 Channel 16 = 4020/12170 Channel 5 = 3800/11852 Channel 17 = 4040 Channel 6 = 3820/11865 Channel 18 = 4060 Channel 7 = 3840/11913 Channel 19 = 4080 Channel 8 = 3860/11926 Channel 20 = 4100 Channel 9 = 3880/11974 Channel 21 = 4120 Channel 10 = 3900/11987 Channel 22 = 4140 Channel 11 = 3920/12035 Channel 23 = 4160 Channel 12 = 3940/12048 Channel 24 = 4180 Many of these channels are Scrambled then again you can find many open channels that have sporting events or public broadcasting channels. For the Scrambled Channels there are usually decoders in the newer Recievers, most likely you will be able to watch some of the scrambed frequency's. The most popular of the channels are usually scrambled with VC II and VIII systems, now sometimes you will get lucky and actually be able to find a V II and V III decoder and then you can watch it without having to pay or subsribe to the channels. Audio Channels/Radio Signals: Audio channels are usually a higher frequency than TV channels, also there are more than 70 audio only channels avalible from each North American Satellites. The audio frequency's are usually in the 6.2 to 6.8 mhz but audio can go through 5 to 8 mhz. There are Radio Shows daily for other satellite hobbiests to listen to including "Lets talk Radio" is a computer/radio/shortwave listening/ satellite navagationing show/ which used to be daily at 6p.m. that anyone could listen to who had a C/Ku band dish and reciever. GPS Satellites: GPS stands for Global Positioning System, these satellites are fairly new they provide navegation for ships, tanks, Hummers, airplanes, space stations, satellites,and many other devices. They provide navagation, position and velocity by the second. They were first introduced to the world from the US Department of Defence (what a supprise), and are widely used today in many aspects of communication and traveling. This system of satellites are controled by a main base all the GPS satellites are operated at what is called "GPS Master Control and Monitor Network" which is located in Colorado at the Schriever Air Force Base. Today you can walk out to your local Radio Shack and pick up a GPS reciever for traveling and it will tell you where you are most anywhere on earth. Now tell me that is not amazing. Today I was doing some Research on GPS and this was amazing to me I found a company that provides GPS recievers that you strap on to your kid and it tells you where they are anywhere in the world. That made me kind of sick but it is a good example of how GPS is growing and how accessible it is to the public (also how weird are society is with technology of this kind). Satellite Internet Connections: Many Networks Today reside on Satellite's, and the amount is growing every day. More and More people decide they need more bandwidth for there networks or for personal use alone. Satellites have been offering personal interenet services for about 3 years now and the users are expanding as we speak. The reason for such wide expansion is satellite's high bandwidth. Today you can subscrube to a satellite ISP which data transfers 5 times the speed of DUAL ISDN Channels, of course this has its downfalls which include a $490 dollar a month bill and also the weather somtimes effects satellite reception, so in other words during a /rain/thunder/hail/snow storm you would ether have a terrible connection to the internet or no connection at all. I have hered of some companys fixing the problem but have no other information about it. Also have found an Example of what one of these systems may cost: *********The Satellite Internet System includes the following hardware ************specifications as well as unlimited access for 10-150 Users. **************Intel Pentium PII 266MMX ****************16 bay server case ******************4.0 gig IDE drive ********************3.5" floppy **********************64 megs SD RAM ************************512K cache **************************20X CD-Rom Multi Media kit ****************************2 meg PCI Video Card *****************************104 keyboard - MS Mouse *******************************WIN95 OEM *********************************3COM 10/100 Base-T Network card ***********************************56 Kbps Fax Modem *************************************14" .28 NI SVGA Monitor ***************************************32 Bit Satellite software license *****************************************20" Satellite Dish w/uni mount ********************************************LAN user access software license **********************************************Activation prior to delivery 36 months free on site next day warranty. Price $4,900 (Includes Server, Dish, and Installation) Monthly Price $490 per month (36 Month lease) This means that after you pay your $4,900 dollar bill you have to continue paying your monthly bill which is $490 dollars. For a large company this is no bill at all but you can see how one person who wants fast internet access might struggle financially. Many huge Companys are starting to connect there networks to ATM networks via Satellites one of the many of those companys is COMSAT which is ahead of the other competitors with there ATM Link Enhancer (ALE). COMSAT wins first ATM via satellite contract which makes them elegable to start building massive ATM networks. The reson for this being so great is that companys can start connecting all forms of communication devices, such as, video confrencing, real-time logistics, and medical expertise to deployed field units (Telemedicine) all in real time, Anywhere in the world. -==Weather Satellites:==- Weather satellites have helped the human race tons. Without these satellites there would be no hurican warnings or storm warnings or how about you wouldnt even be able to tell when it is supposed to snow. With your C/Ku band reciever and dish you can somtimes find an occasional public weather station when scanning thru the C/Ku band it probelly wont be local but you get to see what kind of weather france is getting. Here i have included a list of weather satellites that are Operational and some of there frequency's: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NORAD ID# Common name Source Frequency =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 10061 GOES 2 US 10489 METEOSAT 1 ESA 12472 GOES 5 US 12544 METEOSAT 2 ESA 14050 GOES 6 US 15427 NOAA 9 US 16969 NOAA 10 US 17561 GOES 7 US 18820 METEOR 2-17 CIS 19215 METEOSAT 3 ESA 19336 METEOR 3-2 CIS 19531 NOAA 11 US 19851 METEOR 2-18 CIS 19876 METEOSAT 4 ESA 20305 METEOR 3-3 CIS 20670 METEOR 2-19 CIS 20788 FY-1B PRC 20826 METEOR 2-20 CIS 21140 METEOSAT 5 ESA 21232 METEOR 3-4 CIS 21263 NOAA 12 US 137.5000 21655 METEOR 3-5 CIS 137.8500 22739 NOAA 13 US 22782 METEOR 2-21 CIS 22912 METEOSAT 6 ESA 22969 METEOR 3-6 CIS 23051 GOES 8 US 23455 NOAA 14 US 137.6200 23581 GOES 9 US ** FAILED ** 24786 GOES 10 US 24932 METEOSAT 7 ESA 25338 NOAA 15 US This is just a small list I am sorry I couldnt provide more frequencys. You can download programs off the internet that connect to satellite's and you can view stunning images of live weather around the globe. There are even sometimes live camera's via the internet that broadcast live weather to some satellites. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Satellite and Telephone Intergration:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Satellites have greatly helped our communication in various ways but the telephone has by far been the greatest. I will give an example of how satellites are used with a common telephone call from the U.S. to Australia. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is one of the most important parts of this text because it kind of puts everything together into one big example. So please read this part carefully. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Fist the call would be releyed to Roaring Creek, Pennsyvania International Earth Station via microwave signals, then from Roaring Creek up into the main Anteanna on a 6ghz uplink. Then processed to an Earth Station in Australia via the downlink then shipped into the local switch and ran to the subscribers house. From there it would do exactly the revearse of what it did in the U.S. So this time it will be ran thru the local switch up to the earth station in australia and then uplinked at 6ghz and then downlinked to Roaring Creek, Pennsylvania once again. So every time one person talks it has to ush to the earth station and be uplinked and downlinked then run through the local switch (wow what a fast ride). Now you know why these calls cost so much. Please Examine the Ascii at the first part of this text. You will see that the signal could represent a telephone call across the world which is uplinked by Earth Station B and traveled on signal D and then Processed in satellite A and then downlinked on signal E to Earth Station C. )()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() written by lowt3k aka upl1nk Conclusion This completes my text on satellite communications Introduction, although expect many more texts from me about satellites this is just an opening of understanding for my other texts which will take this knowledge and combine it into othermore technical aspects of satellites.

Just did a little research, and found a little more out about sateleites and the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). The majour players in the satelite industry are INTELSAT (International Telecommunications Satelite Organisation), and EUTELSAT (European Telecommunications Satelite service)- part of the European Space Agency (ESA) and PASAT (Pan American Satelite Inc) These organisations lease space on there satelites for other companys such as telcos, private sector operations, etc, etc. These systems are often interconnected to the PSTN and ISDN nets on the ground, and implement dishes with diameters ranging from 3.5 to 13m. An interesting development I discovered is called 'Briefcase satelite newsgathering (SNG) terminal'.. It is a small, lightweight system developed by a co-operation between Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Teleglobe Canada, and Skywave Electronics Ltd. The system weighs only 14.5 kg, and is capable of providing good quality speech, still pictures, plus data packets. Again, this system is readily being intergrated into our PSTN. The system operates over INMARSAT-C links of 1.5 to 1.6 GHz to a hub earth station which operates in the 4 and 6 GHz band. Basically, I would imagine that satelite systems are connected to the PSTN in the following way: ___ _________|______ _______ | | ____ | | | | |::x:::| | SAT 1 | a) |:::::::::::| PSTN | |>-------|_______|::y:::| | |____| |_________|______| Base station |___| | A //// (customer A, in //// the UK) ____|__ //// <-- signal PSTN: Intra-lata exchange | | |//// carriers, operating over | | |// different switching and | | || Mid-way base signaling systems, such as | | |\\ station. the CO, 2 4ESS switches, |____|__|\\\\ DMS25O international gates. | \\\\ <-- signal \\\\ \\\\ _________|______ _______ | | ____ | | | | |::x:::| | | b) |:::::::::::| PSTN | |>-------|_______|::y:::| | SAT 2 |____| |_________|______| Base station |___| | B (customer B, in x= uplink Australia) y= downlink I will be honest here and say that I don't really know exactly how Earth to Satelite PSTN networking actually works, but if I was to guess it would be similar to my above diagram, and involve the following routing proccess over the PSTN... Say I was customer (A) and I wanted to call customer (B) over in Austrailia, here is what I believe would happen: I pick up the phone and begin to dial the international country code for Austrailia.. My local exchange recognises that conventional routing over the network will not terminate the call, so then forwards my number query over to a DMS international exchange unit, where the best route for my call is decided by call allocation software. Beacuse the distance of the call is not conviniant for land lines, or sub mersive transmission, I am then forwarded to a special telco satelite base station, where a channel is selected and researved for my call. An uplink and downlink channel is then setup betwwen Base station A and Base station B in Australia. Conventional Signaling protocols in Australia then setup the call acrross the many switches over there until an incoming call trunk transmission is detected by customer B's local office, which then routes a call translation and set's up a channel via it's PSTN back to the PSTN in the UK... B then picks up the phone and the data link is complete. Because Australia is the opposite side of the world to the UK, a base station in the middle would have to rebound the signal, and data transmission back upto the geo-stationary satelite over Australia. When the call is terminated, all channels, circuits, switches, contacts, are reset and are ready for another call. I would imagine there are litteraly 1OO's of geo- stationary satelites that are used by the telcos for international calling, note: for those of you who have not been paying attention! - geo-stationary means the satelite is in syncronous orbit with the earth, and would appear to be still if seen from the earths surface. The orbit at which these satelites reside is called 'the clarke belt' named after Authur C Clarkes vision of a place orbiting the earth that remains syncronous with the earths rotation. Anyways, this could go on forever, so I'm gonna conclude this short file. For more info on this subject, just do a web portal search for things like intelsat, eutelsat, pstn routing, geo-syncronous.. blah blah blah. Hope you enjoyed... --> British Telecom WB9OO ]---------------------------------[ hybrid ]------- --> A guide to the digital ]--------------------[ th0rn@coldmail.com ]------- --> exchange unit. ]--------------------------------------------------------- WB9OO is a system designed by BT to split a line into two carriers. This way two seperate BT customers can use the same line with privacy, in other words two seperate incoming/outgoing calls can be made on 1 subscriber loop similtaniously. Basicaly, the hardware BT have devoloped to allow this kind of loop is called _WB9OO 1+1 Carrier System, and consists of 1 exchange unit, 1 customer unit and a filter, all of which I will explain later. The exchange unit is designed to be attached to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). The idea is that the standard line pair is attached to the filter at the Destination Point (DP). The filter and the DP WB9OO equipment is installed on the customers premisis, usually hidden away somewhere. In order for two people to use the same line, the two subscribers are split into differnet catigories, one of them being the _Audio Customer_ the other being the _Carrier Customer_. The audio customer will use normal speech and carrier freqencys, wile the carrier customer would use a higher carrier freqency, operating well above the standard audio freqency range. Lets take a look at this setup a little closser... Remember: * The audio customer and carrier customer use the SAME line * (SIMILTANIOUSLY with SEPERATE call setups and routes) ****************** The Audio Customer ****************** The audio customers part of the line is basicaly the same as a standard phone line, implementing DC signals with the normal 25 Hz which makes the phone ring. The customers voice patterns will use the audio freqency band, hence the name. Here a filter is implemented which is designed to stop the audio freqncys interfering with the carrier customers freqencys and equipment. As said before, this filter is fitted at the Destination Point of the subscribers line. ******************** The Carrier Customer ******************** Listen up, heres the whole emphasis of this file, the carrier customer. Basicaly, as I said before, the audio and carrier customers are on the same line or cable pair, but the carrier customer is on a higher freqency. Here, simple science is implemented and Amplitude Modulation (AM) is deployed to provide the line split. Here the signals and speech from the customer to the exchange (TXD) are modulated on a 40 kHz carrier. From the exchange to the subsciber, the carrier is modulated at a steady 64 kHz. Lets take another look at this subsciber line setup...

This 40 kHz will be detected by the WB9OO unit at the exchange, and will then create a DC loop for the call to procede. Similtaniously a 64 kHz tone is transmitted to the customers line from the exchange itself (modualted dialtone). ************************************** Incoming calls to the carrier customer ************************************** If the carrier customer is called by someone, the WB9OO exchange unit detects the ringing current, and the 64 kHz carrier is activated and then modualted to the normal 25 Hz ringing current. ************ Interfernece ************ As on most freqency dependant electrical equipment, the WB9OO exchange units can be 'interfered with'. The customer, and exchange units are suseptable to freqnecys in the following bands: 36-44 kHz - 60-68 kHz. ****************** System componments ****************** exchange unit WB9OO/1-/7 [obsolete] exchagen unit WB9OO/8 [for anolouge and TXD exchanges made by Telespec] exchange unit WB9OO/9 [for analouge and TXD exchanges made by STC] mounting unit WB9OO/9 [for 10 exchange units] exchange unit WB9OO adapter1 [for exchange unit types 1/7 when connected to TXD suitable for mountings with green PCB runners] exchange unit WB9OO adapter2 [TXD suitable for mountings with black or no runners] power units [for 50 V / 12 V] subscribers unit WB9OO/a/6 [obsolete] -------------- filter unit [security filter] *********************************** Underground filter unit connections *********************************** ____________________________ | | | | | | | | | Filter Unit | | | | | |____________________________| |||||| |||||| |||||| orange wire ||||||_______________________| |_____________ ||||| white wire Audio Customer |||||________________________| |_____________ |||| |||| green wire ||||______________________| |________________ ||| white wire Carrier Customer |||_______________________| |________________ blue || ___________| |_________|| white | <----------The customer loop/cable pair ___________| |__________| ******************************************************** Testing this kind of loop setup at the exchange and line ******************************************************** Any UK phreak worth his/her weight in pbx's should have resonable knowledge of BT line testing techn1que. In this setup the audio and carrier customers are tested in differnt ways, these tests are performed from the local exchange using a technique called test selecting. Also from the Main Distrobution Frame and remote equipment located away from the exchange itself. The usuall BT testing facilitys are deployed in this scenario, SALT (for the audio customer) FRB (ringback for both audio and carrier customers) and howler tests. ************** Vulnerablittys ************** As far as I can tell the only real obvious security issue with this type of customer loop setup is via physical phreaking, ie- the use of a beige box or interception of carrier loop from local distrobution points. The customers equipment comes in many flavours, ranging from drop wires on poles, wall mountings and underground filters. If a WB9OO distrobution box is located and riged up, it would be possible to have the use of two lines instead of one. I'm lazy, so you won't find me climbing any telegraph poles with my beige box although one of the most common instalations for this type of equipment is in well built up areas such as apartment buildings, where the WB9OO units would all be coupled to together (knowing BT thrown together), here it's just a case of pic'n'mix. Anyway, I'm not encouraging you to participate in such fraudualant activitys :p Just wait until telephony over the national grid comes into play, try beige boxing then.... Hope you enjoyed this article, and play saftly kids. ********************************************************** ********** PUBLIC KEY [ hybrid ] ************ ********** Created 27 April 1999 ************ ********** 1024 DSS 4096 DH ************ ********************************************************** -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Comment: I Encrypt, Therefore I Am mQGiBDcmQEIRBADLSAfM5KwPJKl6pjNLhB5PGyehHssAxao11b9P9pA7WbIoEdlT 0/tqCnwhIZie27Z8VPai/mOe7Ges6KVW111DTmdvYGMzomoz1Tb/XPWyF57FD07m slCNI/gjcg4VJLmPasNAAoFCyJLu0+gM/tEu3JgmTWwM8nFFEWMoXhIuVwCg/37z iBOJuwozilmVdqlpULL+DZEEAKHDxv9crox12xpVJSPokmfrpXKOnDp/xRYB826u D4FiXloyrW3ass2ui03DX8oICUucDSz1l8kzxeJkKuPgliHNqsyRi1BEtkvDr2c9 MTG6BaNlV0saAIu93/mhBZI6opdCtRmxOTdN903dyguGMIM8/Hmo6YHKc6lrXtSH 7DQBBAC+enBy9fAn+DvUW+3139YMnrU/Z1Buw9o702NaKBO5jUd0ZCq9xXQ2wU0/ mZFOgpcYaHsYAFuQ2UGFDMCE221dpAA3QxkqgnE2aePBme7UJyIMILVHH22wk1mP F2GIChpUx5kccWKSS2tR4b8xQxWgKcil0YPxRyNa810MJucjGbQbaHlicmlkIDx0 aDBybkBjb2xkbWFpbC5jb20+iQBLBBARAgALBQI3JkBCBAsDAQIACgkQDiWdSLnM lmm4gQCg7OgBUmDMYyixphbmV+nWAUsGQh4An2kjLIGFEBfNafuIwBFTWYp1jEiK uQQNBDcmQHIQEAD5GKB+WgZhekOQldwFbIeG7GHszUUfDtjgo3nGydx6C6zkP+NG lLYwSlPXfAIWSIC1FeUpmamfB3TT/+OhxZYgTphluNgN7hBdq7YXHFHYUMoiV0Mp vpXoVis4eFwL2/hMTdXjqkbM+84X6CqdFGHjhKlP0YOEqHm274+nQ0YIxswdd1ck OErixPDojhNnl06SE2H22+slDhf99pj3yHx5sHIdOHX79sFzxIMRJitDYMPj6NYK /aEoJguuqa6zZQ+iAFMBoHzWq6MSHvoPKs4fdIRPyvMX86RA6dfSd7ZCLQI2wSbL aF6dfJgJCo1+Le3kXXn11JJPmxiO/CqnS3wy9kJXtwh/CBdyorrWqULzBej5UxE5 T7bxbrlLOCDaAadWoxTpj0BV89AHxstDqZSt90xkhkn4DIO9ZekX1KHTUPj1WV/c dlJPPT2N286Z4VeSWc39uK50T8X8dryDxUcwYc58yWb/Ffm7/ZFexwGq01uejaCl cjrUGvC/RgBYK+X0iP1YTknbzSC0neSRBzZrM2w4DUUdD3yIsxx8Wy2O9vPJI8BD 8KVbGI2Ou1WMuF040zT9fBdXQ6MdGGzeMyEstSr/POGxKUAYEY18hKcKctaGxAMZ yAcpesqVDNmWn6vQClCbAkbTCD1mpF1Bn5x8vYlLIhkmuquiXsNV6z3WFwACAhAA 3IzDKaB+m0crl53scR4x7BIvwxmd5RuEPQxtxUdRi3KvSCeVlT+jVNi6alTgLRPX 8h9Q5YURP055kr8giNqJohk4j5yyNczzjdOfODRj4ewCiQ7imekh9XTeSUbzdJ84 hH1tcp8FmP/fNftBhatRx0UaM83RBB7V/2Dp3iCcFJWgDWB/I839G1s4KbTSORXd mYb6J1JLV/MXGD0iqLkzoxgEOPn/w97DQTP/AsgbZJiL9kaXVvWRWrJ7MUvldx9e 98kAdAIUeN7rdUSU93PXSMdFccP7Aw+BMib9j65y40q1y5NYowt32Xbcc4hUMAXe aew1jhL/nz+tforS/FwnNsd2NhJ80xHM0kQHoyta3ALBWZyCujjlLtfv+ifkqTP7 6sBlHRbt/50CNZwefYjhA7KQMSVmDCxxXW7LgHngLsGMo+UvI6PMIBWwcfkXmwmy vmXJtlAWMRBRGvFR2mokjbdlo0p0aJBXe8LhXEM5URsgybRObhVSX6HlkP1wUjBW HR7GEVbWwPb1d2SpfYcPJjV3XJH1eYmnlTaNlrxGiG9MLaabz11GNRhRQvfmVcQj xFV/Ed452lIyLAPQkla4gbUg8IekKRU9EUWBPiPjbWzPlRyogaZXbhwfUuVlDabC yACdX+eIjlS3/LI6tbxtewdBjJXQsDwawpC5wMaum1aJAD8DBRg3JkBzDiWdSLnM lmkRAihxAKDCvgy46FH8VWZloqKREL21hLLqFQCgjjvBTLL2I36EaySUzFjEZ4PY Oy4= =Netg -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- --> AT&T 5ESS-2OOO ]----------------------------------------[ hybrid ]------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------[ D4RKCYDE Present (1999) ]--------------- --------------[ AT&T 5ESS-2OOO Switching Technology ]--------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- The 5ESS Switch is a most flexible digital exchange for use in the global switching network. Digital switches replaced earlier electromechanical and analog switching systems. The 5ESS equipment switches ISDN voice and data, local voice calls, long distance calls, Internet access, wireless PCS, Advanced Intelligent Network services, interactive video and multimedia services...moving any media on the public switched network. This means the 5ESS Switch provides the system, services and software to transform current networks into multi-functional networks that meet the needs of todays home, business and community. By 1992, the next generation 2000 Switch was created at Bell Laboratories and added to networks worldwide. A digital switch is a single system with multiple applications such as local, toll, operator services. The switch architecture is a modular, distributed architecture with an administrative module, a communications module, and a varying number of switching modules that provide the major processing power in the total communication system. This switch design will allow network providers to offer their customers voice, computer, fax, data, and visual services. FCC (Federal Communication Commission) required quality monitoring process has shown the 5ESS Switch is highly reliable, in fact the 5ESS-2000 switch is four times more reliable than its nearest competitor. Today the 5ESS switch is considered the workhorse of the public telecommunications network in the United States with its lower life cycle costs and its proven record of reliability. Modular Design Advantage ************************ An advantage, when deploying the 5ESS Switch, continues to be its modular design. This modularity allows for ease of implementing ongoing enhancements and allows service providers the ability to change their communication network quickly. The value of the current 5ESS Switch modular architecture and the ease with which is adapts to new technologies has been repeatedly demonstrated. Administrations can deploy new 5ESS Switches in their network, only to find their business requires additional hardware modules and the associated software releases. The new hardware can easily be added to the network's standard growth and modernization plans. The result is an easy, effective, and economical upgrade to a 5ESS-2000 Switch without service disruption. Telephone administrations are often concerned with: Increasing busy hour call completion capacity Minimizing floor space requirements Enabling growth in small increments Integrating multiple applications in one exchange Reducing power consumption and operational costs The 5ESS-2000 Switch architecture and software addresses each of these concerns. Economical access to advanced services via the 5ESS-2000 Switch can be provided to all subscribers no matter where they are located; in metropolitan, suburban or rural areas. A Distributed Architecture ************************** The 5ESS-2000 Switch also features a distributed architecture that employs modular components in all systems and subsystems. This readily accommodates a broad array of growth and configuration options that allow you to easily and economically evolve your network as subscriber demand grows. This flexibility enables you to maintain your competitive edge while saving on sparing, training and documentation. Internet Capacity ***************** Reliability and customer satisfaction are especially important with respect to internet services, since the extensive growth of the Internet has caused an increase in network blockages on existing central offices. However, a new capability, which Lucent refers to as Project Renaissance, helps service providers avoid this problem in a least costly fashion. Today the 5ESS-2000 Switch is the first switch to handle both wireline and wireless traffic. Project Renaissance will modernize and consolidate central offices and networks by using the SM2000 with Digital Network Unit -- SONET-- and the Access Interface Unit to provide increased trunk and line capacity for the service providers network. Project Renaissance also reuses some existing central office equipment. This increased capacity affords opportunities not only for a lower cost structure and simplified network operations, but also a better grade of service with less probability of internet and voice calls being blocked as a result of high internet hold times. Access Interface Unit (AIU) - A new cost-effective non-blocking line unit for the 5ESS Switch that was generally available in 1996. This line unit initially supports enhanced performance and reduced operational costs for analog connections, but will also support ISDN and ADSL in the future. ISDN PRI Expansion - The 5ESS Switch SM-2000 was expanded to handle more PRI terminations in 1996. This capability will lower service provider operational and first-time costs. Provisioning Solutions - The Switch Element Manager Operations Systems will shadow a switch's translation/feature database, making it easier and faster to provision ISDN lines without placing strain on the embedded switch call processors. In early 1997, additional Applications Software will be made available to further enhance the ISDN provisioning process. Provisioning audit services are available to pinpoint trouble spots. Small Exchanges and Remote Capabilities *************************************** Remote line units can support basic and supplementary services and ISDN capabilities. Remote switching systems provide all the duplex switch services of the host exchange and can sustain complete stand alone functionality if remote-to-host facilities are out of service. Small autonomous exchanges, like CDX and VCDX, are configured to support exchange sites where deployment of remotes may be unsuitable. In addition to typical host exchange configurations, the 5ESS Switch offers full service remote switch solutions and interchangeable models to configure the smallest to the largest exchange sites. This simplifies training, documentation, and spare parts while increasing flexibility and services. No longer must network providers procure differing systems for small sites versus large metropolitan exchanges. Over the past seven years the switch has increased busy hour call capacity more than fivefold. The architecture lets the switch add processing power as needed to add extra call capacity. A network service provider need buy only as much capacity as needed to start, then expand later to meet business demands or to bring more features to customers in their market. Thus as business expands, the service provider need only upgrade the modules directly involved, rather than add whole new switches. ---------------{ EOF }-------------| ---------------{ typed up by hybrid }-------------| ---------------{ th0rn@coldmail.com }-------------| ---------------{ darkcyde.8m.com }-------------| ---------------{ #darkcyde EfNet }-------------| --> UK hand scan ]---------------------------------------[ _[O0]_ ]---------- --> O8OO 731 11XX ]---------------------------------------------------------- 0800 731 1100 (bluespring water coolers, pbx system) 0800 731 1101 (diverted, live) 0800 731 1102 (rings once, then nothing) 0800 731 1103 (modem/fax) 0800 731 1104 (RAC customer care center recording) 0800 731 1105 (RAC customer care center recording) 0800 731 1106 (US number, XS inc, 3-did extension numbers. # vmb) 0800 731 1107 (dead) 0800 731 1108 (foreign number, 69410. # vmb, 50000) 0800 731 1109 (bloodtest helpline, answerphone) 0800 731 1110 (answerphone) 0800 731 1111 (save and prosper, recording) 0800 731 1112 (US number, japanese meridian mail system) 0800 731 1113 (dead) 0800 731 1114 (live) 0800 731 1115 (no answer) 0800 731 1116 (modem/fax) 0800 731 1117 (live) 0800 731 1118 (live) 0800 731 1119 (dead) 0800 731 1120 (no answer) 0800 731 1121 (abbey national, recording) 0800 731 1122 (no ring, click.

You can set your own event thresholds for system alarms, modify standard severity defaults and define alarm escalation parameters to meet your individual needs. With Alarm Management, it is easy to obtain on-screen descriptions of all system events and quickly sort them as action or non-action items, according to degree of severity. Event severity thresholds can than be changed when necessary. The Alarm Management System Event Monitor provides an on-going log of all Meridian 1 events. An integrated on-screen Alarm Banner provides an additional convenient summary window of new "critical"," major" and "minor" alarms. Each time a new event triggers an alarm, the appropriate alert box in the Alarm Banner window will flash to alert you. ********************************* A Brief History of the Meridian 1 ********************************* Historical Overview ******************* In the early seventies, Northern Telecom recognized the need for a versatile state-of-the-art product that could adapt readily and quickly to changing conditions, a product that would give it an edge in a very competitive marketplace. The SL-1 PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange) emerged, featuring a digital switching matrix under computer control. The foresight of the original development team continues to pay dividends. The challenge was to design a system that would meet current needs while retaining the ability to evolve without obsolescence. The key aspect of the system design is a modular, highly flexible architecture in which the primary system elements can be independently changed in whole or in part to address changing market requirements. The system met an immediate demand for a full range of voice and data processing features in a cost-effective package. Besides functioning as a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), it also included key telephone and custom calling features. These advances were achieved by incorporating several notable industry firsts. A high-level software language provided significant advantages over assembler language in terms of simplicity and implementation. It also permitted improved, simpler ways for users to communicate with the system. To complement the advanced PBX features, a custom LSI chip was incorporated into a proprietary electronic telephone and its associated peripheral interface. From a human factors point of view, replacing the conventional telephone with a new electronic set was a prerequisite for more effective business communications services. The SL-1 electronic telephone provided simple, direct selection of features, and unambiguous system responses to indicate the progress of calls. The main objective to reduce the size of interconnectiong cable, as compared to those used for existing key telephone sets, was achieved by using a form of distributed control in the SL-1 set. The six conductor line cord in the SL-1 sets permitted systems to be pre-cabled irrespective of the eventual use of either SL-1 or conventional 500/2500-type single line telephones at a terminal location. Another industry first was the utilization of the codec on a per port basis to take full advantage of digital technology. Ongoing silicon enhancements could be introduced without affecting more centralized equipment in the system. Peripheral equipment was packaged in increments of four line circuits an two trunk circuits on associated individual cards. The first system shipment was in 1975, and the product has continued to evolve, incorporating new technologies as they become available. As a result, a continuous stream of enhancements has introduced a series of system models, each building on its predecessor with improvements in performance and capabilities. The Digital World ***************** In 1976, Northern Telecom became the first corporation to commit publicly, with the Digital World announcement, to producing a complete line of digital switching, business communications, and transmission systems. Every major telecommunications manufacturer has since followed this lead. Today, Nortel is the principal supplier of fully digital systems in the world. Its family of digital business communications systems is among the world's most advanced multi-function integrated voice and data switching systems. The Intelligent Universe ************************ In 1979, Northern Telecom unfolded the Intelligent Universe to announce the threshold of a new era for its product capabilities. Envisioned were new applications of digital technology to create efficient, harmonious global networks of simultaneous voice and data transmission that allow major office communication functions to be undertaken in a single integrated system. In addition, the formation of sophisticated networks would evolve to provide comprehensive communications through intelligent terminals in which information can be organized, stored, accessed, and received from any source in the world. OPEN World ********** In 1982, Northern Telecom announced the OPEN World for information management systems. The OPEN (Open Protocol Enhanced Networks) World was an extension of Northern Telecom's proven expertise in the key areas of digital technology, semiconductors, software, and integrated communications capability. It presented a commitment to providing a planning framework, new products, features, and services for the OPEN World. Northern Telecom's announcement of OPEN World promised to create integrated communication networks that open the technological barriers to user-controlled systems. The SL-1 would act as the hub for such systems, giving the user the opportunity to install whatever equipment is most cost-effective for the application. The OPEN World concept encompasses the following five key criteria: continuity, compatibility, congeniality, control, and cost-effectiveness. Meridian ******** On February 14, 1985, Northern Telecom, in keeping with the OPEN World promise, announced major enhancement capabilities to its SL family of digital switching systems. Under the banner of Meridian SL-1 Integrated Services N etwork, a new range of sophisticated information management services would evolve including: Unique, high speed 2.56 Mbps pipeline to the desktop using conventional twisted pair wiring distribution Range of fully digital telephones to increase the existing terminal portfolio using a new 512 Kbps digital distribution scheme The foregoing enhancements were accomplished through architectural extensions that built on the existing system foundation. As such, they reemphasized Northern Telecom's commitment to a continuity program that guards against product obsolescence. Meridian 1 ********** On January 30, 1990, Northern Telecom unveiled Meridian 1, a modular communication system encompassing the industry's first truly global private branch exchange (PBX) product line. Meridian 1 represents a merger of the functionality of Meridian SL-1 and Meridian SL-100, Meridian SuperNode, and Northern Telecom's remaining PBX products, into a single, modular communications product portfolio. Meridian 1 capabilities extend from voice and data features for very small organizations to high-capacity advanced tandem networking, very large Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) centers (up to 4,000 agents), multi-function military agency support, campus communication systems, intelligent network node capabilities, and the bridge to the FiberWorld of the future. Meridian 1 provides common hardware and adaptive software for existing systems. This means that customers can upgrade to the latest voice features, data connectivity, and sophisticated information services for PBX applications ranging in size from 30 to 60,000 ports, the widest range in the industry, while retaining 80 to 90 percent of their equipment. Noteworthy for multi-national corporations, Meridian 1 uses globally adaptive technology that enables it to be sold and used in virtually any country without major hardware modifications. Meridian 1 software is compatible with recognized international communications transmission standards. Additionally, Meridian 1 Digital Telephone Sets can be programmed to give instructions in multiple languages. Meridian 1 provides a platform for future growth and is compatible with communications networks of the next century. Underscoring Northern Telecom's leadership in ISDN, Meridian 1 delivers ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI). In the future, the system will use fiber optic technology to provide broadband capability, bandwidth on demand, and services such as high-speed data and full motion video. The Meridian 1 introduced a product design consisting of stackable modules that contain the various system elements. Peripheral Equipment Modules contain line and trunk cards that connect a wide variety of telephone and central office interface circuits. The modular design offers the ability to grow from a single module through a column of up to four modules into an array of columns that connect with existing equipment to extend and serve application with up to 60,000 ports. The modular packaging takes up to 50 percent less floor space than SL-1 systems and allows customers to add lines and features in a simpler, more cost-effective manner than ever before. The core of the product line is an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Module that works with both the Meridian 1 and SL-100 and has distributed processing, high-density line cards, universal trunks, improved self-diagnostics, and an enhanced network architecture. System Options provide the ability to select the configuration best suited to meet the required business communication application within the 30- to 60,000- port range. For applications up to 10,000 ports, Option 11C, 51C, 61C, and 81C, are available. Meridian 1 in Cyberspace ************************ By 1996, the Meridian 1 once again led the enterprise communications industry into the future with the introduction of Release 22. With the introduction of this software release, all Meridian 1 products including the Option 11C, 51C, 61C, 81, and 81C were standardized on commercial based Motorola 680X0 processors and were equipped with ethernet connectivity as a standard option. With the power and connectivity now in place, the Meridian 1 opened its Ethernet doors to the world of system management with the introduction of Meridian Administration Tools (MAT Release 5) and SNMP Alarm Agent. MAT Release 5 supports communication to the Meridian 1 through the use of TCP/IP over Ethernet or the use of PPP for serial connections. Graphical user interfaces (GUI) are offered for maintenance activities in conjunction with application protocol interfaces (API) instead of overlays. Context sensitive help screens bring detailed technical information to users through number of application modules such as: Station Administration, Traffic Analysis, Call Accounting, Call Tracking, Alarm Management, Maintenance Windows, ESN Analysis and Reporting, and on-line NTPs. Additionally, Release 22 also brought Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to the Meridian 1 to integrate system management functions across enterprise networks. Joint development efforts between Nortel and Cabletron, a leading provider of computer networking hardware and software, provide SNMP compatibility to Cabletron's SPECTRUM product line. Meridian 1 systems now appear as icons on the SPECTRUM display along with those of other network elements. This enables the surveillance of a user's network from a single display from which individual alarms can be presented and then acted upon by management systems such as MAT 5. In 1996, workplace mobility once again entered the forefront of attention with the introduction of Companion Microcellular service for the Meridian 1. This expansion of the Companion product line enabled users of public digital cellular service to utilize the same portable handset whether roaming in-building campus environments or out on the public macrocellular environment. ******************************* Call Accounting & Call Tracking ******************************* Call Accounting Module ********************** Call Accounting enables comprehensive call costing reports based on CDR output. It can be used to provide details on the actual usage of the Meridian 1 helping you to assess the effectiveness of your telephone services or to itemize calls to specific groups (or departments) for cost allocation, or for individual billing purposes and other types of cost allocation. Call Accounting is integrated with Station Administration, removing the need to re-enter data that already exists within Station Administration. Station Administration, however, is not a prerequisite for Call Accounting. Cost Allocation Reports *********************** Many predefined reports exist for your convenience. Cost allocation can be looked at based on the time the call was made, the extention that made the call, the department or division it came from, the account code used, and more. In addition, many of the reports have report summaries that can be generated. Trunk Analysis Reports ********************** Several trunk reports are also available, providing a call usage summary by service facility and by trunk type. Frequency Reports ***************** Frequency reports are another area of interest providing reports based on customers, frequently called numbers, calling line identification (CLID), call duration, hold time, and more. Report Filters and Graphs ************************* All reports can be customized via filters to include or exclude records based on criteria such as the date and time of the call, type of extension, trunk, cost, department, division, authorization code, account code, duration, etc. There are also a number of graphing options via a built-in graph generator. Other Billable Items ******************** This feature is used to assign any additional calls that are not being recorded by the Meridian 1 to an extension, such as those from a calling card or cellular phone. ************* Call Tracking ************* "Detect and Alarm Toll Fraud" Day by day, your Meridian 1 operates, routing calls to and from your company. Ever wonder what your traffic calling patterns look like on a realtime basis? Using MAT Call Tracking, you can now visually monitor traffic patterns. How long are station users on the phone? What percentage of calls are incoming, outgoing, or via tandem tie lines? These are a few of the available features. Better yet, you can set up your own meter to visually cue on the criteria that you want to monitor. Have you ever been a victim of toll fraud? Want to know who's making long international calls, as they happen? The integrated alarm filter can detect these scenarios and alarm you when the event occurs. With multiple alarming notification methods, the system is sure to reach you, where ever you may be. Features ******** Call Tracking is an on-line call monitor and alarm application for the examination of call usage patterns leading to toll fraud detection. Graphs are used to indicate trends and provide displays of unusual calls, enabling you to adjust equipment and services to maximize resources. Multiple filtering templates allow for your customization of *** toll fraud *** criteria. The Call Tracking Module provides a number of alarm notification options to alert you when the filter criteria have been met. Call Tracking is designed to be used with Call Accounting but can also exist on a stand- alone basis. On-line Visual Monitors *********************** Call Tracking provides visual graphs to monitor call usage patterns. Multiple graphs are available to look at such things as recent call history, percent of calls by duration, incoming verses outgoing call origin, and more. Filtering Templates/Alarm Definitions ************************************* Using the CDR output from the Meridian 1, Call Tracking can screen the information through filtering templates and alarm on any of the screening variables. Examples of available fields are originating ID, terminating ID, date, time, call duration, digits dialed, authorization code, and ring time. Alarm Options ************* Alarm notification to you can be accomplished via a variety of methods. There is always the standard screen, audible alarm on the PC, and printer. However, Call Tracking also offers alarms via a network message, pager, modem and fax. *************** Common Services *************** At the heart of the MAT system is Common Services: a versatile set of core elements. Common Services is used to create and organize Meridian 1 equipment into individual sites and systems, launch MAT applications, define user security privileges and maintain a log of PC events. Security is improved with Common Services' single platform user login procedures. System administrators can retain complete control of access levels throughout an entire multi-site location and assign them on a per-site or per application basis. At every level, shared resources and database information help to make MAT the most productive and secure way to manage your Meridian 1 system. Common Services also provides easy access to Meridian 1 system and application Overlays via its built-in enhanced terminal emulator. This MAT terminal emulator provides all the current Input/Output guides on-line in an easy context-sensitive feature. Particular information on an Overlay is only a mouse click away. Within an Overlay, help is available at particular prompts for valid entries as well as information about error codes. MAT's Overlay Enhancer allows you, or your staff to have the same level of expertise at your finger tips as a Meridian 1 expert with years of experience. MAT Common Services navigation and system configuration tools form a solid foundation that all system applications can use to optimize Meridian 1 performance. ************************************** Meridian 1 Electronic Switched Network (ESN) ************************************** Networking is the interconnection of multiple systems for the purpose of communications. ESN allows you to tie separate corporate communications systems into one and share common network features and functionality's within a unified private communications network. ESN helps optimize the cost and performance objectives of your organization's telecommunications systems. Many private networks have grown in a rather disjointed fashion, with each office being responsible for the installation of local trunks and special service trunks to handle local and long distance calls for their own users. This results in an inefficient network with too many trunks, some of which are not being fully utilized. An effective network can cut cost by centralization of trunks, least-cost routing and control of calls. Centralization of facilities can benefit your company greatly since cost savings can be gained by allowing users at several locations to share in the use of these facilities. ************************************* ESN Analysis and Reporting Tool (ART) ************************************* Electronic Switched Network (ESN) data can be displayed and sorted in numerous ways with a single click on a column header. ESN data can be used to define Coordinated Dialing Plans, Digit Manipulation, Free Calling Areas, Network Service Class, Special Number Screening and much more. Limits, Time of Day Schedules, Network Control and other data that is only defined once for each customer is readily available and easy to modify if necessary. The MAT ESN Analysis and Reporting Tool has the ability to convert Overlay data to a form where it can be analyzed off-line in an easy-to-understand spreadsheet format and then uploaded to the Meridian 1 at your convenience. The ESN Analysis and Reporting Tool incorporates a full range of reporting options. Custom reports can be generated for everything from basic data information to a detailed customer-by-customer analysis. All reports can be sent to the user's screen, printed using any network printer or saved in file form. When all analysis and reporting has been completed, the data can be reconverted to overlay form and transmitted to the Meridian 1. ************************************** Meridian 1 Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) ************************************** The most advance networking technologies are found today within Nortel's powerful integrated voice and data networks. An integral component of the Meridian 1 product line, these powerful networks deliver proven solutions for both simple and complex information and communication needs. ISDN is a global networking strategy based on international standards. ISDN standards specify two basic services: Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and Basic Rate Interface (BRI). Both are made up of two different types of communication channels: "B" channels, which carry user information such as voice, data, image, or video at 64 Kbps, and the "D" channel, a separate channel that carries information relating to the call setup, teardown, and feature activation. With the implementation of ISDN on the Meridian 1, corporations have even more powerful tools to substantially improve networking with even more flexibility to integrate voice and data communications that best fit their organizational needs. ISDN introduces powerful new features and services to further enhance network performance to achieve even greater system flexibility. Maintenance Windows ******************* Maintenance Windows directly replaces several dozen maintenance overlays with a single graphic window that provides convenient access to all your system hardware.

When people think of ESS, the first thing that usually comes to mind is 5ESS. Alot of people are fooled by the fact that 5ESS is the backbone of the USphone-network, this is not the case. AT&T employ 4ESS switches as inteligent international routing mechanisms, accross the majour PSTN backbone. If you made a call from NY to San-Fran-Sisco, that chances are your call would route via at least 2 4ESS switches along the way.

Using cutting-edge fiber-optic lightguide technology, state-of-the-art satellite systems, and digital microwave radio relay, the AT&T network provides long-distance service to every community in the United States, as well as to virtually every country and territory worldwide. Size And Scope The AT&T network is second to none when it comes to call-handling capacity, global reach, and network reliability. During 1997, AT&T set an all-time record by handling nearly 76.3 billion calls, a 12.2 percent increase from the previous year. On an average business day, more than 250 million voice, data and video calls travel the network. On peak days, as many as 290 million calls are handled by AT&T. Traditionally, the busiest day of the year is Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend; however, Mondays during June, July, and August also generate extremely heavy traffic. The network is 100 percent digital for all switched traffic and currently includes nearly 3 billion circuit miles of transmission facilities. The domestic network uses 136 high-capacity 4ESS* switches to automatically route calls to their destinations. Within the continental United States, the AT&T network includes nearly 41,000 route miles of fiber-optic cable, and 97 percent of all domestic traffic travels via this lightguide technology. Network Management On an average business day, the AT&T network handles more than 250 million calls, and 100 percent of these are monitored for call completion. Network managers know exactly how many calls did not go through the first time they were dialed, and these managers carefully study computer-generated data to identify patterns and initiate the appropriate corrective action. AT&T has three network management centers that are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Network Operations Center in Bedminster, New Jersey, has primary responsibility for the bulk movement of calls across the AT&T network, as well as the flow of calls to and from some 250 countries and territories worldwide. The Network Management Centers in Conyers, Georgia, and Denver, Colorado, manage calls AT&T is handing off to the Local Exchange Companies and calls those companies are delivering to the AT&T network. Network managers at all three locations have computer-generated data displayed on large wall screens in front of them, as well as on their computer monitors. Most of this information is updated every five minutes; however, some screens refresh at 30-second intervals. This allows critical network management decisions to be based on current data, not information that might be 30 to 60 minutes old. Network managers can initiate controls directly from their computer consoles to manage the flow of calls and can also implement special procedures for dealing with disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes. The AT&T network is designed and engineered to be self-regulating. This concept allows the network to monitor itself and to handle routine situations on its own. Network managers step in and apply their skills, knowledge, and experience to handle problems beyond the scope of the network's automated systems. Two primary management techniques are employed: Management By Exception Specific thresholds have been established within the software support systems that manage and control the network. Icons and colored lines appearing on the large wall screens automatically alert managers to situations that may require special handling. Proactive Management Network and Computing Services uses an aggressive, proactive management style to ensure the maximum number of calls possible are completed on the first attempt. Rather than waiting to react after something happens, managers plan ahead for activities or events that might impact the smooth flow of traffic across the network. Various tools are used to achieve this objective. CNN, the 24-hour-a-day Cable News Network, is monitored by network managers because breaking news and weather-related events have a direct impact on long-distance calling. Network traffic patterns and calling levels change dramatically following reports of an earthquake in California, a hurricane in Florida, a bomb blast in Oklahoma, or a terrorist attack in the Middle East. By monitoring the news closely, network managers can initiate the appropriate procedures to ensure long-distance calls continue to flow smoothly across the nation and around the world. Mass calling events, such as ticket sales for a concert tour or a sporting event, or perhaps a national radio or television call-in program, can focus extremely high traffic on a specific switch or trunk group for a relatively short period of time. These activities are closely monitored and appropriate managementprocedures are initiated to ensure no negative impact on network performance. All major installation or maintenance projects involving network equipment areclosely monitored to keep potential problems invisible to callers. Network Reliability For more than 100 years, AT&T has set the industry standard for network reliability. Providing world-class network service involves five primary disciplines, architecture planning, technology selection, technology implementation, documentation and training, and the development and implementation of cutting-edge operational support systems. Network and Computing Services has developed each of these disciplines to a science and an art form, thus business customers and consumers alike depend upon AT&T for reliable communications, anytime, anywhere. The primary objective of Network and Computing Services is to complete the maximum number of calls possible on the first attempt, and the team's record is impressive. Perhaps the best way to judge network reliability is Defects Per Million, a measure that reports how many calls per million did not complete on the first attempt, due to a network failure. By way of explanation, a network failure is any time a call does not go through because of a hardware, software, or procedural error. Hardware errors are equipment problems, such as a power failure, equipment damaged by a hurricane or tornado, or perhaps a section of fiber-optic cable torn from the ground by a contractor's backhoe. [At AT&T, backhoes are often referred to as unauthorized cable locators. A software error involves problems with the software that runs the network's complex signaling, switching and transmission equipment, while a procedural problem generally involves human error. The Defects Per Million score recorded by AT&T for 1997 was a remarkable 173, which means that of every one million calls dialed last year, only 173 failed to go through the first time due to a network failure. That equals a network reliability factor of 99.98 percent for the calendar year. Network Architecture Managing the AT&T network involves three primary functions, switching, transmission, and signaling. Switching utilizes a series of highly sophisticated computers to automatically route calls from one point to another, while transmission involves the transport facilities or pipes that actually carry the calls. Meanwhile, signaling controls the flow of calls across the network and supports special network services, such as toll-free calling and customized call routing for large business customers. Network Switching Calls traveling the AT&T network are automatically routed to their destination by 4ESS switching machines. First introduced in 1976, these switches are constantly being upgraded and enhanced and are still considered state-of-the-art when it comes to high-capacity call handling. The network currently has 136 4ESS switches, strategically located across the country. The 4ESS switch is a complex computer, and the heart of the unit is its processor. To ensure network reliability, each 4ESS switch is equipped with dual processors, the second processor being a mirror image of the first. This second processor is always in stand-by mode, ready to handle calls if the first processor fails. Key components of the switch itself and the processors are also equipped with back-up circuit packs that automatically take over if the primary circuit packs fail. By way of comparison, this would be like having a second engine in your car, connected to the transmission and ready to go, just in case the first engine failed. The 4ESS switches are constantly being enhanced and upgraded to ensure network reliability. In April 1995, the Network and Computing Services team completed a 13-month project that replaced the 1A processors in all 4ESS switches with the new 1B processor. This upgrade more than doubled the switching capacity of each machine, increasing it from 500,000 busy-hour calls to approximately 1.2 million calls per hour. When it comes to judging switching or call-routing efficiency, one of the primary measures is call set-up time, which is the period between dialing the last number and the distance telephone ringing. On the AT&T domestic network, call set-up time for a standard, point-to-point call averages less than two seconds, while call set-up time for a credit-card, toll-free, or "900" call is approximately one-half second longer. And that is generally considered among the best in the industry. Network Transmission AT&T has three primary methods of transporting calls, fiber-optic cable, microwave radio relay, and satellite communications. In the past, microwave played the dominant role in the industry, and it was not uncommon to see giant microwave radio relay towers dotting the landscape at 40-mile intervals. Today, fiber-optic or lightguide technology is AT&T's primary means of transmission, and approximately 97 percent of all domestic traffic now travels via fiber-optic cable. AT&T has nearly 41,000 route miles of fiber-optic cable buried in the continental United States, representing the largest fiber-optic network in the industry. This cable is generally buried several feet underground and thus is not subject to damage from severe weather conditions on the surface. In 1995, AT&T first introduced Synchronous Optical Network or SONET technology to the network. This innovation increases network transmission capacity and improves service restoration following a fiber-optic cable failure on the core network. Although SONET is generally installed in an interconnecting ring configuration, where a single ring might cover several states, some point-to-point systems are being deployed to provide additional transmission capacity. Today the company is engaged in an aggressive SONET build-out program that does not require the installation of thousands of miles of new fiber-optic cable. AT&T already has a state-of-the-art fiber-optic network in the ground, thus only a limited amount of additional fiber is needed to complete nationwide SONET deployment. AT&T had 30 SONET rings operational by the end of 1997, and 22 more are being added this year. Coast-to-coast SONET connectivity was achieved prior to the end of 1997, and by the end of this year, nationwide deployment will be completed with 50-52 rings in service. One of the primary benefits of SONET technology is the increase in transmission capacity it offers through Dense Wave Division Multiplexing, more commonly known in the industry as DWDM. A typical fiber-optic cable contains 32 or 48 fiber strands, which equals 16 or 24 fiber pairs. In the past, a fiber pair carried up to 48,000 simultaneous calls; however, DWDM allows multiple wave-lengths or colors of light to travel a fiber pair, significantly increasing its transmission capacity. AT&T is now deploying eight-wavelength DWDM systems and plans to have 16-wavelength systems in service later this year. During the fourth quarter, plans call for AT&T to begin certification testing of an 80-wavelength system. In addition to significantly increasing network transmission capacity, AT&T's cutting-edge SONET system also provides sub-second restoration following a fiber-optic cable failure on the core network. By way of example, if traffic is moving in a counter-clockwise direction on the ring when a fiber-optic cable failure occurs, SONET technology instantly reverses the flow and the traffic then moves in a clockwise direction. This reversal takes approximately 60 milliseconds and calls in progress are not interrupted. Although the vast majority of AT&T's domestic traffic travels fiber-optic cable, approximately 3 percent is transmitted via microwave radio relay. Satellite circuits are currently used for global communications and special service applications, but not for domestic traffic. Network Signaling One of AT&T's unique contributions to telecommunications has been the extensive development and use of out-of-band signaling. In the past, customers often heard control tones in the back-ground as their call was routed to its destination. Today, a separate network is used to carry information about a call, such as its destination and whether or not it needs special handling by the network. This out-of-band signaling is the foundation for AT&T's rapid call set-up time and for enhanced, intelligent services, such as toll-free service, MULTIQUEST 900 service, or Software Defined Network [SDN] service. The signaling network can also access data bases of customer instructions and information to provide special services, such as routing incoming calls to different locations at different times of the day or week. Real Time Network Routing In 1992, AT&T introduced Real Time Network Routing [RTNR], a patented, highly sophisticated system that ensures nearly every call is completed on the first attempt. Unlike other long-distance companies that only offer a handful of routes for completing a call, the AT&T network provides 134 possible routes for every call. Every 4ESS switch in the network knows the current status of every other switch at all times. Under normal circumstances, a call from Boston to Los Angeles would be routed directly from Massachusetts to Southern California. However, if the direct path is experiencing high volume or some other unique condition, RTNR instantly routes that call, via another switch, perhaps in Atlanta, Dallas, or Seattle. In all, the network has 134 possible routes for getting that call from Boston to Los Angeles. First thing Monday morning, circuits along the East Coast are busy, as men and women from Maine to Florida launch another work week. As network traffic along the East Coast begins to build, RTNR might route a call from New York City to Miami through Denver, to spread traffic across the network and to keep calls flowing smoothly. Even though the call travels west to Colorado, then back to Florida, the speed of the network is such that the telephone in Miami still rings in less than two seconds. Most calls traveling the AT&T network use two 4ESS switches, an originating and a terminating switch. When necessary, RTNR uses a third switch, a via switch, to complete a call. An example would be New York City-to-Miami-via- Denver. To ensure split-second call set-up time and excellent call quality, the network never uses more than three 4ESS switches to complete a call. Emergency Restoration In addition to RTNR, the AT&T network also uses the FASTAR® system to ensure network reliability. First introduced six years ago, the FASTAR system instantly identifies fiber-optic cable failures on the core network and automatically begins rerouting circuits via spare capacity. Frequently, the FASTAR system restores 90 to 95 percent of the disrupted circuits within two to three minutes, before the vast majority of customers even know there is a problem. Friday, April 18, 1997, offered an excellent demonstration of FASTAR technology at work. At 10:40 AM [EDT], a fiber-optic cable cut in Louisiana interrupted service on approximately 205,000 circuits. The FASTAR system instantly located the failure, identified spare capacity elsewhere on the network, and restored 98.3 percent of the circuits in less than ten minutes. A mere 40 minutes later, a contractor working in Chicago severed a fiber- optic cable, knocking nearly 95,000 circuits out of service. The FASTAR system restored 100 percent of those circuits in less than 60 seconds. Disaster Recovery Service Following a major disaster, the restoration of communication is a top priority. The AT&T Network Disaster Recovery program is unique because it is the only one of its kind in the industry. A team of highly trained technicians and a fleet of giant tractor-trailer trucks are strategically located across the country, ready to respond when disaster strikes. Team members are on-call 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, and they and their equipment can be en route to an emergency incident within two hours of an official call-out. Specially designed tractor-trailer rigs, equipped with highly sophisticated equipment, are warehoused in several locations across the country. This equipment generally travels by road, but in an extreme emergency, the trailers can be shipped by air or rail. The primary role of the Network Disaster Recovery Team is to restore access to the AT&T network following a major emergency. If an AT&T switching center has been heavily damaged or destroyed, the service provided by that facility can be restored within a matter of days, rather weeks or months. The team is also equipped to restore long-distance service by erecting a temporary microwave tower, installing a temporary satellite earth station, or establishing temporary calling centers that allow customers direct access to the AT&T network. Since its creation in 1991, the AT&T Disaster Recovery Team has responded to many major incidents. A few examples are Hurricane Andrew in 1992, severe Midwest flooding in 1993, the Northridge, California, earthquake in 1994, a major mud slide and tornado in Kentucky in 1994, a tornado in Texas in 1995, Hurricane Marilyn in 1995, and massive flooding in North Dakota in 1997. The Global Network The AT&T Worldwide Intelligent Network provides long-distance service to every country and territory in the world. If there is a telephone system on the other end, AT&T can deliver a call to it. Of the 250 countries and territories served, direct-dial service is provided to more than 240 of them, which means the vast majority of overseas calls no longer require an international operator. For operational purposes, international network managers divide the world into five geographic regions, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. All calls to or from these regions flow through one of AT&T's 16 international gateway switches, strategically located in California, Georgia, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, or Texas. As a member of the North American Numbering Plan, Canada can be accessed by dialing an area code, plus a seven-digit number. Long-distance calls to and from Canada are handled by special switching centers in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Washington. In addition to handling standard inbound and outbound calls, the AT&T global network also carries transit traffic that neither originates nor terminates in the United States. An example would be a call from Australia to the United Kingdom that is routed through the AT&T network, because all direct circuits between the two countries are busy. Transit traffic is a common practice on the international scene, as one country will often route calls through a third nation if all direct circuits to the destination are busy. In some cases, open reroute agreements exist and overflow traffic is automatically routed through the third country. In other cases, there are no automatic agreements and AT&T network managers must contact their counterparts at the distant end before initiating transit traffic. And finally, some countries only allow automatic rerouting during emergency conditions. At the international level, as well as on the domestic scene, AT&T's primary objective is to complete as many calls as possible on the first attempt. Network managers work closely with their partners around the world to maintain a smooth flow of traffic on the global network. When it comes to global communications, AT&T supports the philosophy of open standards, which translates into a universally accepted set of technical standards designed to allow all telecommunications and information-management systems to interconnect. In Conclusion For more than 100 years, AT&T has set the industry standard for innovation and network reliability, and that status will remain unchanged for many, many years to come. The AT&T network provides world-class switching and transmission service, using state-of-the-art technology. On an average business day, more than 250 million voice, data and video calls travel the AT&T network, and 99.98 percent of those calls are delivered on the first attempt. That is what network reliability is all about fast, efficient communications, anytime, anywhere. * 4ESS is a trademark of Lucent Technologies.

For information, questions or comments, please feel free to contact any of the D4RKCYDE staff listed in this advisory. --------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE ISSUED: 2nd May 1999 STAFF CONCERNED: hybrid (th0rn@coldmail.com) SUBJECT ADVISORY: The ENTIRE phone network LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE: [*] [*] [*] [*] [*] (0-5) PARTYS CONCERENED: AT&T, BT, BELL, MCI, SPRINT, KDD, (any l-d carrier, or maintainer of switching/routing equipment. Public Switched/Private nets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- After much research I have concluded that the international phone network WILL erode at the time of the new millenium. It is of up-most importance that every global title translation database is upgraded to y2k compatable software. Although the millenium 'bug' paradox is somewhat un-reliable in terms of hardcore fact, the risk in leaving switches in their present condition would be SHEER STUPIDITY. Because each international and local gateway communicate with each other via the means of checksum and data, if even one 4ESS or similar gate deteriated, the entire network would be affected. This is not a time-bomb scenario, this is happening NOW. Although the telco's will not admit it, I garantee that local switches all over the world are failing, if not from the y2k scenariio, but from over routing, and busy circuits. I have conducted many experiments concerning incoming trunks, and found that MANY switches serving local areas are incapable of handeling the amplitude of network traffic which will occur on y2k. For example, 6 remote modems where set to dial to and from each other sucesivly through a local area switch, ie: 3 dialed, 3 picked up. The experiment lasted for 12 hours, during that time, the DMS switch involved dramticly deteriated after only 5 hours.. trunks where held open for more than 2 minutes a time, causing busy and fault network announcments, and after 10 hours only 1 out of every 3 calls made via the same switch routed succesivly. AT&T claim that when the network becomes busy or saturated such as this experiment, additional switches are deployed for the remaining wait of network traffic. The modems where dialing similataniously (3 at a time) making 36 calls a minute. The backup switch involved was obviously inferior to the switch we where testing, a dramatic drop in call succesfullness occured when the backup device was implemented. Now imagine how many calls a minute are going to be made on the dawn of the millenuim?, not many I imagine you think, wrong: I ABSOLUTLY, 100% gaurantee that the US phone network and surrounding pstn's will be almost completly busy'd out at the peak calling time, which I estimate as being a 30 hour period over the time zones. The consecuences of such a network outage would be colosal, I will not even begin to describe the amount of financial damage that will occur. ADVICE: ------ * Every bgackbone US ESS switch should be backed up with addtional or neigbouring mechanisms. * All routing software at intralata exchanges should be programed to route via the least used switch, rather than the closest. This way network traffic will be distrobuted evenly accross the network. * International calls should be treated with higher priority than local area calls, and routed via designated switches and trunks. * Every local/central routing mechanism should be upgraded for capacity and then tested. * The main problem will be the global title translation unit databases. These should be tested with the most exreame conditions until they can withhold the massive incoming global translation requests from routers. CONCLUSION: ----------- This is a very general warning, but believe me, network outage WILL occur if the above advice is not looked into. I'm not a 'qualified' telecommunications engineer/developer, I wish I was, but I can see what is going to happen, and believe me, the telcos will be sorry if they don't act in accordance now. Thankyou for taking the time to read this advisory. end advisory ------------ hybrid@phunc.com th0rn@coldmail.com --> UK scan ]-----------------------------------[ by force ]----------------- --> O8OO 973 XXX ]----------------------------------------------------------- %$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$% $% ____________________________________________ %$ %$ _/ __________ _______ _ ______ _____/ $% $% \ __\ / | \| _/ \ | __|_ %$ %$ | | / | \ | \ \____| \ $% $% |__| \_________/____|___/\________/_________/ %$ %$ $% $% presents... %$ %$ $% $% O8OO 973-XXX Hand Scan %$ %$ $% $%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$ 000 - IBM 002 - Audix vms box 1070 003 - Fax 004 - NA 005 - Answer phone 006 - Recording Digital 010 - M ?? try again 013 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 014 - NA 016 - Fax 017 - Irish Meridian Mail, 6 attempts, 102- 104- 107- 018 - Crappy VMS 019 - Levi Strauss Answering Machine p=1122 5-rewind 6-play 0-hangs up 020 - NA 021 - Fax 022 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 023 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 024 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 025 - Recording Digital 026 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 028 - NA 030 - NA 031 - Microsoft Regional Education Centre recording 032 - NA 033 - Irish Meridian Mail 3 attempts 036 - NeuroTech Answering machine p=55? 037 - NA 039 - Shitty VMS - is it just me who thinks it's funny when it says "Are you still there?" 040 - NA 041 - V "hello?" 043 - Telecom Eire recording 044 - M - No response 045 - Beeps then hangs up 046 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 047 - Sillabus Remedys answerphone p=55? 048 - Beeps then hangs up 049 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 052 - V Careline 053 - PABX 3 digit extension eg 201 - gay hold music 054 - NA 055 - Answerphone 056 - NA 057 - NA 058 - Fax 059 - NA 060 - Treecom recording forwards you to an op 061 - Gateway recording responds to key presses 062 - NA 063 - NA 064 - VMS Telecom Ireland press # 81 Irish Meridian Mail 065 - Weird tones 067 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 068 - NA 069 - Creative Labs recording, press 0 to make it ring itself 070 - NA 071 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 072 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 074 - NA 075 - Gateway recording responds to keypresses 076 - Meridian Mail 6847 7028 6851-6851 077 - Bad quality recording cool tune tho 078 - NA 079 - NA 082 - Answering machine p= 083 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 084 - M - No response 085 - Shitty VMS 087 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 090 - Press 1 for faxback service 091 - Gateway PBX recording 092 - V Gateway 093 - V Gateway 094 - VMS AUDIX 095 - Fax 096 - Answerphone p=? 097 - Forwarded to a vms, user doesn't subsribe to this service 098 - NA 100 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 101 - Sounds like a fax, maybe a very high pitched modem? 102 - Company recording 103 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 104 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 106 - Company recording 107 - V Dutchphone? 108 - VMS AUDIX 109 - Fax 110 - "The number you have dialed is not in service" 111 - V "Hello HELLO?

informative other than explaining how to get Free 3-way calling. The only reason I am writing this is because I feel as though not many people know this information and I feel like more should know about it. So here it is. Enjoy! ---(OOooOO)-------------------------------------------------------------(OOo- Here is a list of the things you will need: 1. Phone (of course) 2. 3 modular jacks 3. 2-Line Splitter Adapter 4. 2 Phone Lines (at least) ---(OOooOO)-------------------------------------------------------------(OOo- To get the 2-Line Splitter simply go to the nearest Radio Shack and look on the wall. It should be hanging there. It is simply a little plug with 3 phone cord hookups instead of one. Easy to spot. It should cost about $7.00, yeah, nothing is free but $7.00 for everlasting 3-way is pretty cheap. Anyway buy the adapter. Then come home and go the the modular jack. Plug the adapter in. Then get one of the phone cords and plug it into the 2nd plug (should be labeled L2) then simply hook the phone you want to talk into into the plug labeled L1+L2. Then can call someone. Here is where the second phone line comes in, plug the 3rd modular jack into the other line then plug it into the plug labeled L1. You will get an additional dialtone. w00-h00. Then call. Simply when you are done unplug the L1. When ya want to make a 3-way call plug IN the L1. Pretty simple eh? Where there it is Enjoy! ---(OOooOO)-------------------------------------------------------------(OOo- Yes it was very short but to the point. Doesn't take much to explain this little trick so there it is. Enjoy and call as many people as ya want :o) ---(OOooOO)-------------------------------------------------------------(OOo- +--------------------------------------------+ |......#####.................................| |.......###....#########...######### ........| |.......##......#######.....#######..........| |.......##.......######.....######.......###.| |..#######..#####..### ......###.####....## .| |.########.#######.##.........##...###...## .| |##....###.##...##.##....#....##...####..## .| |###....##.##...##.##...###...##...##.##.## .| |#########.#######.######.######..###..#### .| |.#######...#####...####...#### .####...####.| |........#...................................| |.......##.downtime@webcrunchers.com.........| |.############........##.....##.....#########| |##############......####...####.....########| |...... ##..........##..##.##..##.....##....#| |...... ##..........##...###...##.....####...| |.......##.. ##.....##.........##.....####...| |.......##.. ##....###.........###....##....#| |......###..###...####.........####...#######| |.....####..####.#####.........#####.########| +--------------------------------------------+ Shouts bounce out to the following: [hybr1d][tonekilla][elf][m0rtis][alphavax][bishop of hell][digital fokus] [simmeth][z0mba][nothingg][degauss][wing][voltage][deadkurt][zero divide] [s1ntax][gr1p][substance][overfien][lowtek][skimmy][nino][fORCE][angel] [mistress][doh boy][digiphreq][#telkore][#9x][#pla][#phonez][=pHaKe=] [the trunck toaster][brainphreak][14k4][xio][chimmy][t-phreaks][SaTaN] [alexander graham bell][grinndaddy][sparky][pepsi cola][bigmac's][dabitch] [cthulu][[fdisk] Also if I left anyone out I give ya a shoutout as well! --> The Nokia 216O ]----------------------------[ by Kryptis ]--------------- --> testmode ]--------------------------------------------------------- Nokia 2160 test mode and overall cloning for all Nokias. Well I just found out how to go into to test mode from my local sysop and found how to clone with a file I found a while back.To clone a Nokia you must know the system ID also known as a SID which is a 5 digit code mine in Florida is like 00037 for the ATT wireless South Florida just knowing that and the range they are in will let you own and number in the circuit even if there is no phone programmed to it for example I dialed 954-646-2961 and it was out then I programmed it into my phone and boom I had it and people could call me isn't this nice. SO to program it just press *#639# then enter the 10 digit number eg 954-646-2961 and it will work just make sure the cellulars are in the 646-XXXX range and this will only work for the cellular carriers SID and area for example mine is 00037 which works for 954-646-2965 but say 954-677-2961 belongs to Motorola Cellular Inc it will not work. So after entering the NAM put in the SID which you can get from your local supplier but you really need to have one to get it from them they will not tell you if you are not a customer. Or you can find a SID from #cellular on different IRC servers or email whatever you choose. I did this on a 2160 but don't know if it works for any other models you can try not consequences press *3001#12345 and it should bring you to the test field Sorry for the Bad grammar but hey who cares this was brought to you by Kryptus http://i.am/kryptus kryptus@deep-house.com D4RKCYDE darkcyde.8m.com ------[ Outness: by hybrid (hybrid@phunc.com) welp..... thats it for this issue, hope you enjoyed it, watch out for f41th 5 comming soon to a server near you... get your sorry ass into #darkcyde EFNET for some hardcore HP action, werd. peace.
