| Well some of you may recall my file on Digital Multiplexing in Phrack 10. |
| Well this is part 2 that was promised about a year and a half ago. I was |
| finished with this file in May of 87 and I just decided to release it now. |
| Here it is! |

| Common Channel Interoffice Signaling |
|
|
| Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) is a way of signaling and a way |
| of implementing network level services. CCIS provides reliable, crystal clear |
| data signaling links between the network and the switching offices. The CCIS |
| signaling method uses transmission equipment that is separate from voice |
| trunks. |
|
|
| Common Channel Interoffice Signaling No. 6 |
|
|
| The basis for the CCIS system is the International Consultative Committee on |
| Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) No. 6 international standard, which is brought |
| to it's fullest capacity for use in the Stored Program Control (SPC) network |
| of AT&T. |
|
|
| The CCIS6 network contains a bunch of signaling regions, each having a pair |
| of interconnected Signal Transfer Points (STP). The switching systems put |
| into CCIS6 then connecting to STPs are called Serving Offices (SO). |
|
|
| Band Signaling (CCIS-BS) is used on trunk signaling for intertoll-type |
| trunks using the CCIS network. |
|
|
| Direct Signaling (CCIS-DS) is used for signaling between SPC switching |
| machines and a Network Control Point (NCP). At the present time CCIS6 can |
| handle Enhanced INWATS Originating Screening Office (OSO), Calling Card |
| Validation (CCV), Mechanized Calling Card Service (MCCS), and Billed Number |
| Screening (BNS). CCIS6 is available with DMS-100/200, DMS-200, and |
| DMS-100/200 or DMS-200 with TOPS. |

| Common Channel Interoffice Signaling No. 7 |
|
|
| Common Channel Signaling (CCS) No. 7 or CCIS7 is a CCS system bases on |
| CCITT No. 7. CCIS7/CCS7 on the DMS switch consists of two parts the Message |
| Transfer Part (MTP) and the Interim Telephone user Part. They are compatible |
| with DMS-100, DMS-200, DMS-100/200, and DMS-100/DMS-100/200 with TOPS. |
|
|
| CCIS7 can't tell the difference between banded and direct signaling. CCIS7 |
| uses Destination/Origination Point Codes (DPC/OPC) to rout back to the switch. |
|
|
| CCIS7 can handle Automatic Calling Card Service (ACCS), Enhanced INWATS, |
| Local Area Signaling Services, and Direct Service Dialing Capabilities. |
|
|
| Equal Access |
|
|
| The DMS-200 Access Tandem (AT) gives a traffic concentration and |
| distribution function for interLATA traffic originating and a distribution |
| function for interLATA traffic origination or terminating inside a Local |
| Access and Transport Area (LATA). This gives the interLATA Carrier (IC) access |
| to more that one end office inside the LATA. It can handle InterLata Carrier |
| access codes (10xxx), 10xxx and 950-yxxx dialing, Automatic Number |
| Identification (ANI) on all calls, answer supervision, equal access Automatic |
| Message Accounting (AMA) for both originating and terminating calls, and |
| operator service signaling. |
|
|
| The DMS-100 EA gives direct and tandem switched access service inside the |
| LATA for originating and terminating to interLATA Carriers. It is available |
| in the following three ways: |
|
|
| Equal Access End Office (EAEO) |
|
|
| DMS-100 Equal Access End Office (EAEO) gives a direct interconnection to |
| interLATA Carriers (IC) and international Carriers (INCs) Point of Presence |
| (POP) inside the LATA. |
|
|
| Access Tandem with Equal Access End Office |
|
|
| The DMS-200 Access Tandem (AT) when used with equal access end office (EAEO) |
| lets trunk tandem interconnect to ICs/INCs POP inside the LATA. |
|
|
| The connection of the Equal Access End Office (EAEO) to an IC/INC through |
| the DMS-200 Access Tandem (AT) uses what is called two-stage overlap output |
| pulsing which makes the time it takes to set up a call quicker. The AT uses |
| the digits OZZ + XXX out pulsed in the first stage to identify the IC/INC |
| dialed and to pick and outgoing trunk. Then a connection is established from |
| the IC/INC to the EAEO through the AT. The second stage digits, consist of |
| ANI and the called numbers are passed through the DMS- 200 AT at the IC/INC. |
|
|
| A AMA terminating record in AT&T format is produced by the DMS-200 for all |
| the EAEOs. A per call terminating AMA record is made for calls that get to |
| the stage where the trunk from the IC/INC has been seized and a "wink" has |
| been returned by the DMS-200 AT. |
|
|
| Access Tandem with a Non-Equal Access End Office |
|
|
| DMS-200 AT using a non-equal access end office gives trunk tandem |
| connection to an IC/INC POP within the LATA. To set up a call, connection of |
| Feature Group B (FGB) or Feature Group C (FGC) End Office to an IC/INC through |
| the DMS-200 AT, uses the standard Bell Central Automatic Message Accounting |
| (CAMA) signaling. The Access Tandem uses the XXX digits of the access code |
| 950-YXXX out pulsed from the FGB end office to identify the IC/INC and to |
| connect to a outgoing trunk. |
|
|
| Mechanized Calling Card Service (MCCS) |
|
|
| The fraudulent use of calling cards, third number and collect calls and the |
| increasing movement to automate current operator services has directly led to |
| the implantation of the Mechanized Calling Card Service (MCCS) to DMS-200/TOPS |
| and to the remote and host Operator Centralization (OC). |
|
|
| MCCS uses CCIS to relay queries and responses to and from the DMS-200/TOPS. |
| Operator handled calling card calls and the direct entry by subscribers of |
| Calling Cards by DTMF (Touch-Tones) telephones are given special provisions by |
| the MCCS. Both, the operator handling and the direct entry of calling card |
| calls, are decreasing the size operators. |
|
|
| Billed Number Screening (BNS) gives an enhancement to the operator-handled |
| collect and third-number billing by using CCIS to screen a number at the |
| billing validation data base for billing restrictions (i.e. the third number |
| is a fortress). This feature naturally will reduce fraudulent use of the |
| collect call feature. |
|
|
| Common Channel Interoffice Signalling-Direct Signalling (CCIS-DS), which is |
| the feature that the MCCS is designed around, is used to transmit messages to |
| and from many possible Billing Validation Centers (BVCs). Messages |
| transmitted to the BVC about MCCS include the billing number and the Personal |
| Identification Number (PIN). In BNS the messages have the special billing |
| number (collect or third number). The return messages from the BVC include |
| validity (of the number), billing restrictions (if any), and the Revenue |
| Accounting Office (RAO) code. |
|
|
| Auxiliary Operator Services System |
|
|
| The DMS-200 Auxiliary Operator Services System (AOSS) is used primarily for |
| Directory Assistance and the intercept needs that are not included in the TOPS |
| package. The AOSS is similar to TOPS and co-exist with TOPS on the DMS-200 |
| Toll system. |
|
|
| Major benefits of the AOSS include Directory Assistance is provided with a |
| modern environment, AOSS position administrative activities are performed by |
| the DMS-200 toll maintenance system, trunking savings are achieved by |
| combining trunking for 1+ and 0+, and Directory Assistance traffic, DA |
| services are managed by using TOPS methods, Creation of a built-in training |
| system, which does not require additional training equipment and reduces |
| training costs. |
|
|
| Integrated Business Network |
|
|
| The Integrated Business Network (IBN) is a revenue-producing concept |
| designed for small and big businesses to offer modernized PBX and Centrex |
| features. The Operating Company can use the IBN to maintain and enhance its |
| competitive position on a operational DMS-100 and DMS 100/200 switches. |
| While using the DMS-100 switch, the Operating Company can support varying |
| business features along with existing local/toll traffic. |
|
|
| IBN services can be introduced to a Centrex-Central Office (CO) or a |
| Centrex-Customer Unit (CCU) by additional software modules and minor hardware |
| enhancements. |
|
|
| Current IBN features include: A growing system that can handle 30,000 |
| lines, networking capabilities, city wide service for DMS- 100 switch and |
| remotes for any one customer station Message Detail Recording (SMDR), which |
| gives IBN customers call records. The records can be used for system analysis |
| and control and station charge-back. SMDR can use LAMA records, if the IBN |
| host has LAMA equipment, Centralized attendant maintenance and administration |
| functions and Direct Inward Dialing (DID). |
|
|
| Electronic Switched Network (ESN) |
|
|
| The Electronic Switched Network is designed to meet the telecommunication |
| needs of large multi-location corporations. The ESN is made up of a SL-1 or |
| SL-100 Digital Business Communications System with networking features or a |
| DMS-100 IBN host. The SL-1 can handle from 30-5000 lines. The SL-100 and the |
| DMS-100 IBN hosts can hold from a few thousands to 30,000 lines. |
|
|
| A DMS-100 IBN or SL-100 can remotely serve many locations from the host |
| site. This is done by a connection through digital transmission facilities |
| which are set up at remote modules at the subscriber's premises. |
|
|
| Specialized Common Carrier Service (SCCS) |
|
|
| The DMS-250 Specialized Common Carrier Service (SCCS) provides the |
| capability of Analog to Digital (A/D) and Digital to Analog (A/D) conversions |
| which are necessary with analog circuits. The DMS-250 can also switch voice |
| and data circuits. |
|
|
| The DMS-250 takes either analog or digitally encoded info and by using time |
| slot interchange, switches it from any input port to a temporary addressed and |
| connected exit port. The info may or may not be converted back to analog. |

| Cellular Mobile Radio Service |
|
|
| A cellular system consists of two main parts a cellular switch and cell |
| site equipment. |
|
|
| Cellular Switching Systems |
|
|
| A cellular switch performs three main functions audio switching, cell site |
| control, and system administration. |
|
|
| The DMS switches provide three basic implementations for cellular switching |
| Stand-alone, Combined, and Remote. |
|
|
| Stand-alone switching is done by a Mobile Telephone Exchange (MTX) which is |
| interfaced with one or more class 5 end offices. The connection is made by |
| DID/DOD trunks. Depending on the needs of the area, the MTX can be divided as |
| follows: MTX which serves urban areas, MTXC which handles suburban areas, and |
| MTXM which is used for rural areas. |
|
|
| Combined switching is incorporated into a DMS-100 by some hardware |
| additions and cellular software. Combined switching is designed to give a |
| easy, cost-effective way to install cellular services to an existing host. |
|
|
| Remote Switching is done by combining Remote Switching Center (RSC) with a |
| Cell Site Controller (CSC). This combination is hosted by either a |
| stand-alone or a combined switch. Remote Switching is designed for serving |
| suburban centers, remote areas, or a small community and it gives extra |
| flexibility for a growing system. |
|
|
| All of these cellular switches have the ability to balance the workload |
| among various cell sites. For example, if one site's workload reaches the |
| programmable level of congestion, calls would be routed to nearby sites that |
| can handle the extra calls. |
|
|
| Cell Site Equipment |
|
|
| Cell site equipment consists of a CSC and radio equipment. The CSC is |
| controlled by the cellular switch and it controls radio equipment and |
| maintenance tasks. The CSC will work on any MTX cellular switch because of |
| the Remote Cluster Controller (RCC). |
|
|
| The radio equipment consists of self-contained Radio Channel Units (RCU), |
| antennas, transmitter multi-couplers and receiver combiners. |
|
|
| By different program software a RCU can perform voice, control locating, |
| and test functions. The self contained nature allows the RCU be remotely |
| located to the CSC. A RCU has built-in circuitry for extended testing of the |
| radio part of the system. |
