| 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! | |
| DMS switches were first introduced in 1979, since then it has been modified | |
| to interface numerous types of switches. DMS has the ability to interface | |
| with SP-1, #5 XBar, 1ESS, 2ESS, 3ESS, 4ESS, NX1D, NX1E, TSD, SXS, ETS4, NO. 1 | |

| 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. | |
