Ok, I'm going to assume that you already know a little bit about what it
|
||
is you're reading. The DMS100/IBN (integrated business network) is
|
||
composed of mainly electronic business sets, phones, data units, and
|
||
attendant consoles and units, all physically at the customers place of
|
||
business. While the digital switching software and support hardware is
|
||
located at the Telco. Together, in tandem they work to give the customer
|
||
one of the best combinations of features and benefits. The DMS-100
|
||
combines voice AND data in one business comunications package. One of
|
||
the many advantages is it offers the use with *any* sized business with
|
||
up to 30,000 lines. The IBN system controls most operations, diagnoses
|
||
problems, and also has the ability to do limited repairs on itself.
|
||
Being modular, it can meet the needs at hand, and have the ability for
|
||
new features, as time goes by, while still maintaining a cost-effective
|
||
environment. Another advantage is that is uses a central attendant where
|
||
and when needed. Along with Call Routing, or CDR, to control and
|
||
restrict Long Distnace Calling, and network management. The IBN gives
|
||
the user hassle free operation. Northern Telcom's DMS-100 switches,
|
||
which by the way are digital, are frequently backed-up by their
|
||
*higher trained* personnel, which isnt saying much. Some other features
|
||
are: Automatic Routing Selection, or ARS, which routes the long distance
|
||
calls, if they are even allowed, over the most economical (right) route
|
||
available. Station Message Detail Recording, or SMDR, which basically
|
||
does just what its name states, records long distance charges, including
|
||
but not limited to, originating number, time and length of call,
|
||
authorization code, and others... Yet another capability is the Direct
|
||
Inward System Access (DISA), which gives the personnel the ability to use
|
||
the system to place long distance calls cheaply, even from outside the
|
||
company (sounds like a PBX a bit doesn't it?).
|
||
System Features and Benefits: There are 6 Call Waiting Lamp Loop Keys,
|
||
each with its associated source AND destination lamp to signify the
|
||
status of both the calling and the called party status. The Second
|
||
feature is Alpha Numeric Display Multiple Directory Number Feature Keys,
|
||
up to 42 of them, which can be used for a Paging System, or speed
|
||
dialing, and things along those lines. A third feature is the release
|
||
Source/Release Destination Console, which features access to paging.
|
||
Other features which mainly are unimportant I will list here, they are:
|
||
Call Identifier Exclude Source/Exclude Destination. Remote Console Call
|
||
Destination. Signal Source.Signal Destination. Call Holding. Call
|
||
Detail Entry. Remote Console Call Selection. Console Display. Camp-on
|
||
Automatic Recall Conference. A 6 port 2 way splitting non-delayed
|
||
operation. Busy Verification of Lines. Manual and Automatic Hold.
|
||
Multiple Console OPeration. Busy verification of trunks. Switched Loop
|
||
Operation. Trunk Group Busy Indication. Uniform Call distribution form
|
||
queue. Multiple listed directory numbers. Control of trunk group
|
||
access. Secrecy. Night Service. Serial call. Speed Calling. Lockout.
|
||
Delayed Operation. Position Busy. Interposition Calling. THrough Call
|
||
Pickup. RIng Again. Multiple Directory Numbers. Intercom. Speed
|
||
Call. Call Transfer/Conference. On-Hook Dialing. Additional
|
||
Programmable Features include automatic hold. Listem-on hold. Multiple
|
||
Appearance Directory Numbers, or MADN. Single Call Arrangement.
|
||
Multiple Call Arrangement. Privacy Release. Tone Ringing with Volume
|
||
Control. Call Waiting. Stored Number Redial. Private Business Line.
|
||
And Finally a 32 character alphanumeric data unit. The DMS100/IBN can be
|
||
used as a "standalone" or can be attached to the business set or other
|
||
phone type unit. It has the ability to transmit over a two wire loop, at
|
||
speeds of up to 56 kb per second, using a proprietary time compression
|
||
multiplexing technology. The DMS100 is also available in different
|
||
models to suit existing terminal capacities. It also provides integrated
|
||
voice/data, that right data, communications. They, the phone company,
|
||
and data unit, can operate together, simultaniously, or even independant
|
||
of one another. Being fully digitized, it was one if the first switches
|
||
to eliminate the use of those dinosaur analog modems (for which i still
|
||
have a few if anyone wants to buy em off me or give me shipping money and
|
||
ill send em to ya free). Well thats it for now. This should give you a
|
||
good understanding of the capabilities of one of the many switches in use
|
||
today. In fact, although outdated somewhat, my telco, citizens
|
||
utilities, and one in stockton from what i just found out, is still using
|
||
this switch (poor me in elk grove, ca eh?)
|
||
which makes phreaking quite an easy task, not that it was really ever
|
||
hard but anything to make it easier help. ANyway, if you have any
|
||
comments/flames/general bullshit, mail it to either
|
||
jmatrix@mindvox.phantom.com or capthook@sekurity.com the latter being a
|
||
last resort email address.
