Basic Alliance Teleconferencing Courtesy of the Jolly Roger
|
|
|
|
Introduction:
|
|
------------
|
|
This phile will deal with accessing, understanding and using the Alliance
|
|
Teleconferencing Systems.... it has many sections and for best use should
|
|
be printed out...enjoy...
|
|
|
|
Alliance:
|
|
--------
|
|
Alliance Teleconferencing is an independant company which allows the general
|
|
public to access and use it's conferencing equipment. Many rumors have
|
|
been floating apound that Alliance is a subsidary of AT&T.
|
|
Well, they are wrong. As stated above, Alliance is an entirely independant
|
|
company. They use sophisticated equipment to allow users to talk to many
|
|
people at once.
|
|
|
|
The Number:
|
|
---------
|
|
Alliance is in the 700 exchange, thus it is not localized, well, not
|
|
in a way. Alliance is only in certain states, and only
|
|
residents of these certain states can access by dialing direct. This,
|
|
however, will be discussed in a later chapter. The numbers for alliance are
|
|
as follows:
|
|
0-700-456-1000 (chicago)
|
|
-1001 (los angeles)
|
|
-1002 (chicago)
|
|
-1003 (houston)
|
|
-2000 (?)
|
|
-2001 (?)
|
|
-2002 (?)
|
|
-2003 (?)
|
|
-3000 (?)
|
|
-3001 (?)
|
|
-3002 (?)
|
|
-3003 (?)
|
|
|
|
The locations of the first 4 numbers are known and i have stated them.
|
|
However, the numbers in the 200x and 300x are not definately known.
|
|
Rumor has it that the pattern repeats itself but this has not been proven.
|
|
|
|
Dialing:
|
|
-------
|
|
As stated before, Alliance is only in certain stated and only these states
|
|
can access them via dialing direct. However, dialing direct causes your
|
|
residence to be charged for the conference and conference bills are not low!!!
|
|
Therefore, many ways have been discovered to start a conference without
|
|
having it billed to ones house. They are as follows:
|
|
|
|
1) Dialing through a PBX
|
|
2) Incorporating a Blue Box
|
|
3) Billing to a loop
|
|
4) Billing to a forwarded call
|
|
|
|
I am sure there are many more but these are the four i will deal with.
|
|
|
|
Dialing through a PBX:
|
|
------- ------- - ---
|
|
Probably the easiest method of creating a free conference is through a PBX.
|
|
Simply call one in a state that has Alliance, input the PBX's code,
|
|
dial 9 for an outside line and then dial alliance.
|
|
An example of this would be:
|
|
|
|
PBX: 800-241-4911
|
|
|
|
When it answers it will give you a tone. At this tone input your code.
|
|
|
|
Code: 1234
|
|
|
|
After this you will receive another tone, now dial 9 for an outside line.
|
|
You will now hear a dial tone. Simply dial Alliance from this point and
|
|
the conference will be billed to the PBX.
|
|
|
|
Using a Blue Box:
|
|
----- - ---- ---
|
|
Another rather simple way of starting a conference is with a Blue Box.
|
|
The following procedure is how to box a conference:
|
|
Dial a number to box off of. In this example we will use 609-609-6099
|
|
When the party answers hit 2600hz. This will cause the fone company's
|
|
equipment to think that you have hung up. You will hear a <beep><kerchunk>
|
|
You have now 'seized' a trunk. After this, switch to multi-frequency
|
|
and dial:
|
|
|
|
KP-0-700-456-x00x-ST
|
|
KP=KP tone on Blue Box
|
|
x=variable between 1 and 3
|
|
ST=ST tone on Blue Box
|
|
The equipment now thinks that the operator has dialed Alliance from her
|
|
switchboard and the conference shall be billed there. Since Blue Boxing
|
|
is such a large topic, this is as far as I will go into it's uses.
|
|
|
|
Billing to a loop:
|
|
------- -- - ----
|
|
A third method of receiving a free conference is by billing out to a
|
|
loop. A loop is 2 numbers that when two people call, they can talk
|
|
to each other. You're saying woop-tee-do right? Wrong! Loops can be
|
|
<very> usefull to phreaks. First, dial alliance direct. After going
|
|
through the beginning procedure, which will be discussed later in this
|
|
tutorial, dial 0 and wait for an Alliance operator. When she answers
|
|
tell her you would like to bill the conference to such and such a
|
|
number. (A loop where your phriend is on the other side) She will then
|
|
call that number to receive voice verification.
|
|
Of course your phriend will be waiting and will accept the charges.
|
|
Thus, the conference is billed to the loop.
|
|
|
|
Billing to call forwarding:
|
|
------- -- ---- ----------
|
|
When you dial a number that is call forwarded, it is first answered by
|
|
the original location, then forwarded. The original location will
|
|
hang up if 2600hz is received from only ond end of the line.
|
|
Therefore, if you were to wait after the forwarded residence answered,
|
|
you would receive the original location's dial tone.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
Dial 800-325-4067
|
|
The original residence would answer, then forward the call, a second
|
|
type of ringing would be heard. When this second residence answers
|
|
simply wait until they hang up. After about twenty seconds you will
|
|
then receive the original residence's dial tone since it heard 2600hz
|
|
from one end of the line. Simply dial Alliance from this point and the
|
|
conference will be billed to the original residence.
|
|
These are the four main ways to receive a free conference. I am sure
|
|
many more exist, but these four are quite handy themselves.
|
|
|
|
Logon Procedure:
|
|
----- ---------
|
|
Once Alliance answers you will hear a two-tone combination. This is their
|
|
way of saying 'How many people do you want on the conference dude?'
|
|
Simply type in a 2-digit combination, depending on what bridge of Alliance
|
|
you are on, between 10 and 59. After this either hit '*' to cancel the
|
|
conference size and inout another or hit '#' to continue.
|
|
You are now in Alliance Teleconferencing and are only seconds away from
|
|
having your own roaring conference going strong!!!
|
|
|
|
Dialing in Conferees:
|
|
------- -- ---------
|
|
To dial your first conferee, dial 1+npa+pre+suff and await his/her answer.
|
|
|
|
npa=area code
|
|
pre=prefix
|
|
suff=suffix
|
|
|
|
If the number is busy, or if no one answers simply hit '*' and your call
|
|
will be aborted. But, if they do answer, hit the '#' key.
|
|
This will add them to the conference.
|
|
Now commence dialing other conferees.
|
|
|
|
Joining Your Conference:
|
|
------- ---- ----------
|
|
To join your conference from control mode simply hit the '#' key.
|
|
Within a second or two you will be chatting with all your buddies.
|
|
To go back into control mode, simply hit the '#' key again.
|
|
|
|
Transferring Control:
|
|
------------ -------
|
|
To transfer control to another conferee, go into control mode, hit the
|
|
# 6+1+npa+pre+suff of the conferee you wish to give control to. If after,
|
|
you wish to abort this transfer hit the '*' key.
|
|
|
|
<note>:Transfer of control is often not available. When you
|
|
receive a message stating this, you simply cannot transfer control.
|
|
|
|
Muted Conferences:
|
|
----- -----------
|
|
To request a muted conference simply hit the 9 key. I am not exactly
|
|
sure what a muted conference is but it is probably a way to keep unwanted
|
|
eavesdroppers from listening in.
|
|
|
|
Dialing Alliance Operators:
|
|
------- -------- ---------
|
|
Simply dial 0 as you would from any fone and wait for the operator to answer.
|
|
|
|
Ending Your Conference:
|
|
------ ---- ----------
|
|
To end your conference all together, that is kick everyone including
|
|
yourself off, go into control mode and hit '*'...after a few seconds
|
|
simply hang up. Your conference is over.
|
|
|
|
Are Alliance Operators Dangerous?
|
|
--- -------- --------- ---------
|
|
No. Not in the least. The worst they can do to you while you are having
|
|
a conference is drop all conferees including yourself. This is in no
|
|
way harmful, just a little aggravating.
|
|
|
|
Alliance and Tracing:
|
|
-------- --- -------
|
|
Alliance can trace, as all citizens of the United States can.
|
|
But this has to all be pre-meditated and AT&T has to be called and it's
|
|
really a large hastle, therefore, it is almost never done. Alliance simply
|
|
does not want it known that teenagers are phucking them over.
|
|
The only sort of safety equipment Alliance has on-line is a simple pen
|
|
register. This little device simply records all the numbers of the
|
|
conferees dialed. No big deal. All Alliance can do is call up that persons
|
|
number, threaten and question. However, legally, they can do nothing because
|
|
all you did was answer your fone.
|
|
|
|
<note>:Almost all instructions are told to the person in command by Alliance
|
|
recordings. A lot of this tutorial is just a listing of those
|
|
commands plus information gathered by either myself or the phellow
|
|
phreaks of the world!!!
