Introduction

~~~~~~~~~~~



   Welcome to the world of the 5ESS.  In this file I will be covering

the switch topology, hardware, software, and how to program the switch.  I

am sure this file will make a few people pissed off  over at BellCORE.

   Anyways, the 5ESS switch is the best (I think) all around switch. Far

better then an NT. NT has spent too much time with SONET and their S/DMS

TransportNode OC48.  Not enough time with ISDN, like AT$T has done. Not only

that, but DMS 100s are slow, slow, slow! Though I must hand it to NT, their

DMS-1 is far better then AT&T's SLC-96.







What is the 5ESS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   The 5ESS is a switch. The first No. 5ESS in service was cut over in Seneca,

Illinois (815) in the early 1982.  This test ran into a few problem, but all

and all was a success.  The 5ESS is a digital switching system, this

adcantage was realized in No. 4 ESS in 1976.  The 5ESS network is a TST

(Time Space Time) topology, the TSIs (Time Slot Interchangers) each

have their own processor, this makes the 5ESS one of the faster switches.

Though I hear some ATM switchs are getting up there.

COMMON COMPONENTS OF THE SWITCH MODULE (SM)



    Switch Module Processor Unit (SMPU)



    - Contains microprocessors which perform many of the call processing

      functions for trunks and links terminated on the SM.



    Time Slot Interchange Unit (TSIU)



    - 512 time slot capacity

    - Connects to the TMS over two 256-time slot Network Control and Timing

      (NCT) links.

    - Switches time slots from Interface Units to one of the NCT links (for

      intermodule calls).

    - Switches time slots from one Interface Unit to another within the SM

      (for intramodule calls).



    Digital Service Unit (DSU)



    - Local DSU provides high usage service circuits, such as tone decoders

      and generators, for lines and trunks terminated on the SM.

    - Global DSU provides low useage service circuits, such as 3-port

      confrence circuits and the Transmission Test Facility, for all lines

      and trunks in the office (requires 64 time slots).



    The SM may be equipped with four types of Interface Units:



    Line Unit (LU)



    - For terminating analog lines.

    - Contains a solid-state two-stage analog concentrator that provides

      access to 64 output channels. The concentrator can be fully equipped to

      provide 8:1 concentration or can be fully equipped to provide 6:1 or 4:1

      concentration.

    - Each TU requires 64 time slots.



    Trunk Unit (TU)



    - For terminating analog trunks.

    - Each TU requires 64 time slots.



    Digital Line Trunk Unit (DLTU)



    - For terminating digital trunks and RSM's.

    - Each fully equipped DLTU requires 256 time slots.

    - A maximum of 10 DSls maybe terminated on one DLTU.



   The SM may be equipped with any combination of LU's, TU's, DCLU's and DLTU's

totaling 512 time slots.





5ESS System Software

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   The 5ESS is a UNIX based switch. UNIX has played a large part in

switching systems since 1973 when UNIX was use in the Switching Control Center

System (SCCS).  The first SCCS was a 16 bit microcomputer. The use of

UNIX for SCCS allowed development in C code, pseudo code, load test,

structure and thought. This led the development of the other switching systems

which AT$T produces today (such at System 75, 85, 1AESS AP, and 5ESS).

NOTE: You may hear SCCS called the "mini" sometimes

   The 5ESS's /etc/getty is not set up for the normal login that one would

expect to see on a UNIX System. This is due to the different channels that

the 5ESS has. The some channels are the TEST Channel, Maintance Channel,

and RC Channel (which will be the point of focus). Once you are on one

channel you can not change the channel, as someone has said " it is

not a TV!" You are physically on the channel you are on.





Test Channel

~~~~~~~~~~~



   The TEST channel is where one can test lines, and test the switch itself.

This is where operating support systems (such as LMOS) operate from.

This channel allows one to monitor lines via the number test trunk aka

adding a third trunk), voltage test and line seizure.

Here is a list of OSSs which access the test channels on the 5ESS.

SCC Channel

~~~~~~~~~~



   The SCC channel is where the SCC looks and watches the switch 24 hours a day,

seven days a week! From this channel one can input RC messages if nessary.

A lot of people have scanned these out, and though they were AMATs.  Well this

is in short, WRONG! Here is a sample buffering of what they are finding.

  This has nothing to do with AMA, this is switch output on say the SCC

channel.  This is used by the SCCS for logging, and monotering of alarms.

The whole point of this channel is to make sure the switch is doing what it

should do, and to log all activity onthe switch. NOTHING MORE!

   To go into these messages and say what they are would take far too long,

order the OM manuals for the 5ESS, watch out, they are about 5 times the size of

the IM (input manual) set.  On average it takes someone three years of training

to be able to understand all this stuff, there is no way anyone can write a

little file in Phrack and hope all who read it understand everything about the

5ESS. RTFM!





RC Channel

~~~~~~~~~



   The RC/V (Recent Change/Verify) Channel is where new features can be added or taken

away from phone lines. This is the main channel you may come in contact with,

if you come in contact with any at all. When one connects to a 5ESS RC/V channel

one may be dumped to a CRAFT

shell if the login has not been activated.  Access to the switch when the

login is active is controlled by lognames and passwords to restrict

unwanted entry to the system.  In addition, the SCC (Switching Control

Center) sets permission modes in the 5ESS switch which control the RC

(recent change) security function.

   The RC security function determines whether recent changes may be made

and what types of changes are allowed.  If a situation arises where the RC

security function denies the user access to recent change via RMAS or RC

channels, the SCC must be contacted so that the permission modes can be

modified.  (Hint Hint)

   The RC security function enables the operating telephone company

to decide which of its terminals are to be allowed access to which

set of RC abilities.  NOTE that all verify input messages are always

allowed and cannot be restricted, which does not help too much.

     The RC security data is not part of the ODD (office dependent data).

Instead, the RC security data is stored in relatively safe DMERT operating

system files which are only modifiable using the following message:



SET:RCACCESS,TTY="aaaaa",ACCESS=H'bbbbb;



where: aaaaa = Symbolic name of terminal in double quotes

          H' = Hexadecimal number indicator in MML

       bbbbb = 5-character hexadecimal field in 5E4 constructed

               from binary bits corresponding to RC ability.

               The field range in hexadecimal is from 00000 to

               FFFFF.



     This message must be entered for each type terminal (i.e.

               "aaaaa"="rmas1", "rmas2", etc., as noted above in

                TTY explanations).





NOTE: Order IM-5D000-01 (5ESS input manual) or OM-5D000-01 (5ESS output manual)

for more information on this and other messages from the CIC at 1-800-432-6600.

You have the money, they have the manuals, do not ask, just order.  I

think they take AMEX!



     When the message is typed in, a DMERT operating system file is created

for a particular terminal.  The content of these files, one for each terminal,

is a binary field with each bit position representing a unique set of RC

abilities.  Conversion of this hexadecimal field to binary is accomplished

by converting each hexadecimal character to its equivalent

4-bit binary string.



       ----------------------------------------------------------

       HEX   BINARY | HEX   BINARY | HEX   BINARY | HEX   BINARY

       -------------|--------------|--------------|--------------

        0     0000  |  4     0100  |  8     1000  |  C     1100

       -------------|--------------|--------------|--------------

        1     0001  |  5     0101  |  9     1001  |  D     1101

       -------------|--------------|--------------|--------------

        2     0010  |  6     0110  |  A     1010  |  E     1110

       -------------|--------------|--------------|--------------

        3     0011  |  7     0111  |  B     1011  |  F     1111

       ----------------------------------------------------------





Each bit position corresponds to a recent change functional area.

  A hexadecimal value of FFFFF indicates that all bit positions are

set to 1 indicating that a particular terminal has total RC access.  Also,

verify operations as well as lettered classes are not included in the

terminals security scheme since all terminals have access to verify views

and lettered classes.

  In addition, maintenance personnel are able to verify the security

code for any terminal by typing the following message from either

the MCC (Master Control Center) or SCCS (Switching Control Center System)

Mini terminal:



OP:RCACCESS,TTY="xxxxx";



where: xxxxx = symbolic name of terminal in double quotes.



Each bit position corresponds to a recent change functional area.



  To ensure redundancy, DMERT operating system files are backed up

immediately on disk by the SCC.

  The input message that defines the password and CLERK-ID (another name for

username) is in the Global RC feature.  This input message defines a clerk-id

and associated password or deletes an existing one. (Recall that CLERK-ID and

PASSWORD are required fields on the Global RC Schedule view 28.1 in

RCV:MENU:APPRC, but more on this later)



This new input message is as follows:



GRC:PASSWORD,CLERKID=xxxxxxxxxx,[PASSWD=xxxxxxxx|DELETE]



Note: CLERKID  can be from 1 to 10 alphanumeric characters and

      PASSWORD from 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters.



This input message can only be executed from the MCC or SCCS

terminals, and only one password is allowed per CLERK-ID.  To

change a clerk-id's password, this message is used with the same

CLERK-ID but with a different password.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



When the security is set up on the RC/V channel, one will see:





----------------------------------------------------------------------------



5ESS login



15       WCDS0                    5E6(1)                   ttsn-cdN TTYW



Account name:





----------------------------------------------------------------------------



There are no defults, since the CLERK-ID and the password are set by craft,

but common password would be the name of the town, CLLI, MANAGER, SYSTEM,

5ESS, SCCS1, SCC, RCMAC, RCMAxx, etc,...

      If one sees just a " < "  prompt you are at the 'craft' shell

of the RC/V channel, the 5E login has not been set. The Craft shell is

running on the DMERT (which is a UNIX environment delovment operating system,

a System V hack). The Craft shell prompt is a "<".  From this shell one

will see several error messages.  Here is a list and what they mean:



     Error Message   Meaning



     ?A              Action field contains an error

     ?D              Data field contains an error

     ?E              Error exists in the message but can not be resolved to

                     the proper field (this is the "you have no idea" message)

     ?I              Identification field contains an error

     ?T              Time-out has occured on channel

     ?W              Warning exists in input line







     Other output message meanings, from the RC/V craft menu.



     OK              Good

     PF              Printout follows

     RL              Retry later

     NG              No good, typically hardware failure

                     (ie: SM does not exist)

     IP              In progress

     NA              The message was not received by the backup control

                     process







  When inputing RC messages it is best to do it in the middle of the day

since RC messages are sent to each channel! The SCC is watching and if

there are RC messages running across at 3 in the morning, the SCC is going

to wonder what the hell RCMAC (Recent Change Memory Adminastration Center)

is doing at three in the morning!  However, one may be hiden by MARCH's

soaking, and the night shift at the SCC are overloaded and may miss

what is going on while correcting other major problems. So it is up to

you.





DMERT

~~~~



    The DMERT (Duplex Multiple Environment Real Time) uses the Western

Electric (another name for AT$T!) 3B20D  Duplex processor (or 2 3B20S

Simplex processors).  The DMERT software totals nearly nine thousand

source files, one million lines of nonblank source code,

and was developed by approximately 200 programers. There are eight main

releases of this software, they are referred to as generics (like 5E4.1,

5E4.2,  to 5E8.1 also seen as 5E4(1), 5E4(2) to 5E8(1), this can be though

of as DOS verson).  DMERT is similar to regular UNIX but can be best described

as a custom UNIX system based on the 3B20D, the DMERT OS can be ported to

PDP-11/70s or a large IBM Mainframe. The DMERT operating system is split both

logically and physically.  Physically, the software is evenly divided across

the five (there were seven Software Delevolment systems all running a 3B20S

where the DMERT code was writen) Software Delovment systems. Logical, the

software is divided into twenty-four different subsystems.  To access this

from the "craft" shell of the RC/V channel, type:



RCV:MENU:SH!



NOTE:

This will dump one to a root shell, from which VaxBuster's (Who knows nothing

about VAXen, always wondered about him) file on how to redirect a TTY may

come in useful.





Programing the 5ESS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



When programing the 5ESS there are things one should know, the first is that

one has a lot of power (just keep 911 in mind,  it would be foolish to even

think of disrupting anyones service.  911 is there for a reason, it should STAY

that way).  And anything one does is logged, and can be watched from the

SCC.  Note that the night SCC crew is a lot more lax on how things are done

then the day shift, so it would be best to do this at night.  I could tell you

how to crash the switch in two seconds, but that is not the point here.

Destroying something is easy, anyone can do that, there is no point to it.

All that taking down a switch will do is get one into jail, and get sued if

someone needed 911 etc,... (I think SRI is wishing they had talked to me

now).





RC from Craft Shell on RC/V Channel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



    RC and VFY is complex from the craft shell on the RC/V channel.

This is called the input text option.  It is accessed by using the



RCV:APPTEXT:



    This gets a little complex to follow, but the best thing to do

is to order the Manual 235-118-215 Recent Change Procedures Text Interface

[5E4] it is $346.87, another good one to get is 235-118-242, for $413 even

and last, but the best is 235-118-243, this beast is only $1344.63 what a

deal. When calling the CIC they will transfer you to a rep. from your area.

Gets to be kind of a pain in the ass, but.. Anyways, back on track:







RCV:APPTEXT:DATA[,SUMMARY|,NSUMMARY][,VFYIMMED|,VFYEND][,VFYNMVAL|,VFYSCIMG]

           [,DEVICE={STDOUT|ROP|ROP0|FILE|TTYx}],FORM=...,DATA,FORM=...,END;





DATA     -  This is for more then one RC operation in the same command



FORM     -  The format that is to be used



SUMMARY  -  Turns on one line summarys on the read only printer (ROP) (DEFULT)

NSUMMARY -  Turns off one line summary logging by the ROP



VFYIMMED -  Prints out verifys (VFYs) immedately, does not wait for

            session end.

VFYEND   -  Prints out all VFYs at session end, this is the DEFULT.



VFYNMVAL -  Print verify output in name-value pair format, this must be

            directed into a file (see DEVICE).

VFYSCIMG -  Makes output into screen size image (DEFULT).



DEVICE   -  Redirect verify output to a device other than ones screen.



            ROP/ROP0   -  Send verify output to the ROP



            STDOUT     -  Send verify output to ones screen (DEFULT)



            TTYx       - Send verify output to any valid tty (such as

                         ttya and ttyv) that exists in "/dev."  You

                         must use the tty name, not tty number.

            FILE       - Send verify output to a file in "/rclog".  The

                         file will be prefixed with "RCTX", and the usert

                         will be given the name of the file at the

                         beginning and end of the APPTEXT session.

END      -  END of message.







 If the parameter is not entered on the command line, it may be

entered after the APPTEXT process begins, but must be entered prior to the

first "FORM=" statement. Here is a example of a MML RCV:APPTEXT.



rcv:apptext:data,form=2v1&vfy,set="oe.entype"&lset="oe.len"&xxxxxxxx,pty=i,vfy!



  The 2V1 may look strange at first, it may help getting use to the basics

first. To just VFY telephone numbers, just do a:



RCV:APPTEXT:DATA,FORM=1V6-VFY,TN=5551212,VFY,END!



   Though I can not really explain this any more then I have just due to

time and space.  These input messages may look complex at first, but are

really simple, and much better then dealing with the menu system, but

you will need to learn RC yourself! No one can explain it to you.





Pulling AMA from the RC/V channel Craft Shell

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Pulling AMA up is all in the mater on one command. The command is:





OP:AMA:SESSION[,ST1|,ST2];



 This command will request a report of the current or most recent automatic

message accounting (AMA) tape. ST1 and ST2 are the data streams.







Pulling up out of Service Lines, Trunks or Trunk Groups

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   One may want to pull up all the out of service lines, trunks, or

trunk groups for many reasons.  These reasons i will not go into, but

from which lines can be set up. The command to do this from the craft

shell is a PDS command, this command is with a 'ball bat' (a `` ! '').





   OP:LIST,LINES[,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]!



   OP:LIST,TRUNKS[,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]!



   OP:LIST,TG [,FULL][,PRINT][;[a][,b][,c][,d][,e]]!







FULL    -   All (primary and pending) are printed. Note FULL is not the

            defult when inputing this command.



PRINT   -   Print to the ROP in the CO.  (Not a good idea)



a-e     -   This is port status to match against the subset of trunks, lines

            or trunk groups that are specified.  (This is required input

            for FULL)









The 5ESS RC/V Menu Shell

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



To access this shell from the RC/V channel craft shell, type:



RCV:MENU:APPRC



at the `` < '' prompt.



To access the 5ESS RC/V menu system from the MCC, STLWS, and TLWS

channel/terminals, one uses what are called pokes.  The poke that

is used here to access the RC/V Menu system on the 5ESS is 196.



Type 196 at the `` CMD< '' prompt, and you are on the RC/V menu system

of the 5ESS switch. This will cause ``RC/V 196 STARTING'' and

``RC/V 196 COMPLETED'' to be printed out on the ROP.





Either way, this will toss you into a menu system. The main menu looks like

this:

When using the RC/V menu system of the 5ESS, you may go and just keep going into

sub-menus, and fall off the end of the Earth. Here are the navigational

commands that are used to move around the menu system. As seen from the

RC/V menu system help, you see "SCREEN X out of X."  This means that there are

so many screens to go and to move between the screens you use the `` < '' to

move back (toward main menu) and `` > '' to move to the last menu. I know it

is shown in the help menu, but it is not explained like it needs to be.







Batch Input

~~~~~~~~~~



The Batch Input feature for the 5ESS switch allows recent changes (RC)

to be entered at any date and time when the the RC update would be

performed.  This allows RC input to be entered quickly, and for a large

number of inputs. The large numbers of RC input can be released

quickly in  batch mode.  The RC input can then be entered at any time,

stored until needed, and then released for use by the system

whenever needed, at any specific date and/or time.

  First and second level error correction is done during batch input.

  There are several different modes of batch input. These are:



      BMI - batch mode input - TIMEREL and DEMAND

      BMD - batch mode display

      BMR - batch mode release







BMI - Batch Mode Input - TIMEREL and DEMAND





Entering BMI (Batch Mode Imput), one types `` BMI '' at the RC/V

menu prompt. Once entering, you will be prompted with whether

the input is DEMAND (demand) or TIMEREL (Time Release). DEMAND

input allows one to manual have the batch update the database,

TIMEREL is automatic. TIMEREL has one enter a time and date.

  When using DEMAND, you will be prompted for the file name. The

file will be in `` /rclog '' in the DMERT OS.

  In TIMEREL, you will be prompted with the CLERK-ID, which in this

case is the file name for the file in the `` /rclog ''. Then

for VERBOSE options, the RC SRVOR (Recent Change Service Order)

is displayed on the screen.

BMD - batch mode display





   BMD is a "mask" of RC/V done from the RC/V channel craft shell, by using the

REPT:RCHIST or a pseudo menu system. All transactions are displayed on the ROP,

though the data could also be sent to a file in the `` /rclog '' in DMERT.

   The Pseudo menu system looks like:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------





1. Summary of clerk activity



2. Activity by service order number



3. Activity by clerk ID



4. Return to view or class menu.





----------------------------------------------------------------------------



1  allows one to view the "DELAYED RELEASE SUMMARY REPORT."

2  produces a "DELAYED RELEASE REPORT BY SERVICE ORDER."

3  produces the "DELAYED RELEASE REPORT BY CLERK ID."

4  Return to view or class menu, self-explanatory.







REPT:RCHIST - BMD



  The REPT:RCHIST BMD (Text) command is done from the RC/V channel craft

shell. The command synopsis is:





5E2 - 5E5 (Generics)



REPT:RCHIST,CLERK=[,FORMAT={SUMMARY|DETAIL}]{[,ALL]|[,PENDING][,COMPLETE]

[,ERROR][,DEMAND]}[,DEST=FILENAME][,TIME=XXXXXXXXXX];





5E6 - 5E8 (Generics)



REPT:RCHIST,CLERK=a[,FORMAT={SUMMARY|DETAIL}] {,ALL|,b}[,DEST={c|FILE}]

[,TIME=XXXXXXXXXX];



SUMMARY         - Report selection, format by key.

DETAIL          - Report selection for Recent Change entire.

ALL             - Report all recent changes.

PENDING         - Report pending recent change input.

COMPLETE        - Report released recent changes that was successful

                  when completed.

FILE            - Name for file in /rclog

ERROR           - Report recent changes released with error.

DEMAND          - Report demand recent changes.

TIME=XXXXXXXXXX - XX - mounth, XX - day, XX - hour, XX minute, XX - Second











BMR - batch mode release





    This is the manual release (updating) of the 5ESS database. This is done

from the RC/V channel craft shell.  The command that is used is the EXC:RCRLS

input message. There is no real need to go into this message.



Adding RCF (Remote Call Forward) on a 5ESS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



1. At the "MENU COMMANDS" commands prompt of the 5ESS main menu in the

   RC/V APPRC menu system of the 5ESS, enter '12' for the "BRCS FEATURE

   DEFINITION".  Then access screen '1.11', this is the BRCS screen. When it

   asks you to 'ENTER DATABASE OPERATION' enter "U" for Update and hit

   return.



   B

   NOTE: When at menu '12,' you will NOT see '1.11' listed in the menu

   options.  By just accessing menu '1' you will not be able to add features.

   B

   This is a problem with the 5ESS menu system.

2. Type in the Telephone Number. It should look like this:

          U   -   to update the form





   Enter `` C '' to change, access filed 11 and row 1 (goto the /CFV

   whereever it may be) or add /CFR if it is not there. If it does though,

   leave the "A" (Active) field "N" (Yes or No). Change the P (Presentation)

   column to "U" (Update). Then Hit Return.



   NOTE: Different Generics have other fields, one of them being a AC (Access

   Code) field.  This field is a logical field, that mean only accepts a

   "Y" for yes and "N" for no.  Also when adding the feature to the switch,

   the row and field numbers may not be shown, but will always follow this

   patern.  Also note that the /CFV (Call forwarding varable) feature may not

   be there, there maybe no features on the line.  These examples are from

   Generic 4 (2).  Here is a example of 5E8 (which is not used too manu places,

ANI/F  the whole switch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



 Automatic Number Identification failure (also called "dark calls") are

caused by variety of different things.  To understand this better, here are

the technical names and causes, note this is not in stone and the causes

are not the only causes for a ANI-F to occur.



ANF   -- Failure to receive automatic number identification

         (ANI) digits on incoming local access and transport

         area (LATA) trunk.

ANF2  -- Automatic number identification (ANI) collected by

         an operator following a failure to receive ANI

         digits on an incoming centralized automatic

         message accounting (CAMA) trunk from the DTMF decoder.

ANI   -- Time-out waiting for far off-hook from Traffic

         Service Position System (TSPS) before sending ANI

         digits.



  Though, I have always wondered how to set one up myself in a safe way.

 One way nice way to get ANI/F through a 5ESS to to use a inhibit command.



      INH:CAMAONI;



The command will inhibits centralized automatic message accounting (CAMA)

operator number identification (ONI) processing. This is done from the DTMF

decoder (going over later).  This message will cause a minor alarm too occur.

If in the CO when the alarm occurs, you will here this bell all the time,

because something is always going out. In this case, this alarm is a level 1

(max to five) and the bell will ring once.

  Once this message is inputed, all calls through CAMA operator will be

free of change. So just dial the operator and you will have free calls.



To place this back on the switch, just type:



      ALW:CAMAONI;



and the minor alarm will stop, and things will go back to normal.







Setting up your own BLV on the 5ESS from the Craft shell RC/V Channel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



  Well, we have come to the fun part, how to access the No-Test trunk on

the 5ESS (this is also called adding the thrid trunk). I will not be too

specific on how to do this.  You will need to figure out just how to do this.

  The first thing you want to do is to request a seizure of a line for

interactive trunk and line testing. One must assign a test position (TP).



SET:WSPHONE,TP=a,DN=b

SET:WSPOS,TP=a,DN=b



          a = A number between 1 and 8

          b = The number you wish assigned to the test position



  This will chose a number to be the test number on the switch. Now using

the CONN:WSLINE one can set up a BLV.





CONN:WSLINE,TP=a,DN=b;



          a = TP that you set from the SET:WSPOS

          b = The number you want to BLV



To set this up on a MLHG (can come in real useful for those peksy

                           public packet switched nerworks), do a:



CONN:WSLINE,TP=a,MLHG=x-y;



          x = MLHG number, y = MLHG member number







To take set things back to normal and disconnect the BLV do a:



DISC:WSPHONE,TP=z



          z = TP 1 through 8





NOTE:



One may need to do a ALW:CALLMON before entering the CONN commands



BIG NOTE:



If you set your home telephone number as the test position, and you

have only one phone line, you are stupid.









Comments about the Underground

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   There are a few people out there who have no idea what they are doing, and

go on thinking they know it all (i.e. No Name Brand).  It pisses me off when

when these people just go off and make shit up about things they have no idea

what they are talking about.

   This file is to all the lazy people out there that just keep bitching

and moaning about not knowning where to find information.
