10/04/89 The Good Oil on NZ (CCITT) Phone Tones
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
These are *not* touch-tone tones; they are used by Telecom *internally*
|
||
for signalling between exchanges. They used to be used to get pulse dial to
|
||
work long-distance, viz:
|
||
|
||
Pulse +----------+ Tones +----------+ To rec.
|
||
dial ----->| Exchange |--------------------->| Exchange |----> phone.
|
||
+----------+ +----------+
|
||
|
||
Frequencies are:
|
||
|
||
Digit: Hz: -> CCITT Numerical code.
|
||
======================
|
||
1 700 + 900
|
||
2 700 + 1100
|
||
3 900 + 1100
|
||
4 700 + 1300
|
||
5 900 + 1300
|
||
6 1100 + 1300
|
||
7 700 + 1500
|
||
8 900 + 1500
|
||
9 1100 + 1500
|
||
0 1300 + 1500
|
||
Code 11 700 + 1700 \ For inward
|
||
Code 12 900 + 1700 / operators
|
||
KP 1100 + 1700 Prime (Start of pulsing)
|
||
KP2 1300 + 1700 Transit Traffic (?)
|
||
ST 1500 + 1700 Start (End of pulsing)
|
||
|
||
These are (supposedly) used for international && trunkline signalling.
|
||
|
||
This is how operator-assisted long-distance calls work:
|
||
|
||
- Call operator pulse dial.
|
||
- Operator hits [KP] (signals start of dialling)
|
||
dials wanted number
|
||
hits [ST] (ringing occurs)
|
||
|
||
NB: The connection is made once the number is dialed, but ringing does
|
||
not occur until [ST] is hit.
|
||
|
||
This is how the guy in Wellington reckons you call long-dist:
|
||
|
||
- Call an 0800 number.
|
||
- Hit [KP]
|
||
- Dial wanted number.
|
||
- Hit [ST]
|
||
|
||
To Telecom it looks as though the call goes to the free number.
|
||
|
||
Notes: - This will only work with calls to other exchangesas it uses the
|
||
CCITT frequencies.
|
||
- It should be possible to make a cheap exchange-to-exchange call,
|
||
eg Auckland to HBC, then dial out to wherever.
|
||
- You can also do this with subscribers (ie the Auckland ->Hamilton
|
||
mentioned above). The only thing is that the 'intermediates'
|
||
phone will be dead while you are abusing it, but if you call a
|
||
business no. at night it's OK. It will just look like a long
|
||
call to a business in Hamilton at 34c/minute.
|
||
- Don't do this to ordinary people - get businesses/govt agencies
|
||
etc, people that can afford to pay (like stockbrokers etc).
