attaches test equipment to the origiinating end of the trunk. Other test lins
are used for the terminating end (going into another CO or switch)...I'm sure
everyone knows there are dialups to CAROT, these are from the Remote User
Multiplex, the ports for remote terminals to call in through (unless the
dialup serves for some type of diagnostics testing upon the test equimpment
itself). 16 people can be on the same RUM....I don't know if that means 16
people can dial the same dialup and somehow still connect (highly improbable).
Lex would probably know more about it.

Well, I know that many people have been told that to get translations for 800
numbers, they should call an office that has access to the NCP database. I
just read a bit about it in CO which I thought was sort of interesting. It's
part of DSDC (Direct Services Dialing Capabilities). The subscriber dials the
800 number which is then routed to a 4E. From there, it goes to the ACP
(Action Control Point or is it ACtion Point?|) which is software that
determines the special type of call (toll free/976/etc.). The ACP gets it's
(its) information from the NCP which is the Network Control Point. The NCP
database receives the call information through CCS and checks on the customer
service information that the call information goes with, thereby determining
how to route the call and sends the info back to the ACP. The SMS (Service
Management System) is used to update information and for definition of that
information. The NCP database can contain various information such as where
the translation routes determined by origin of call or time of day too.
I have a question about CCS. What is signifigant about the number version? I
mean, is the information transmitted done differently (different protocol or
manner of sending) or is it just updates to the way it's wired up? McBlah

Randy- I can't seem to find that ancronym or any mention of it. I've followed
your post all they way up to that. The Advanced 800 Service you read had to
do with the SPC Network? The paragraph you typed was the same(not word for
word) as the one here in the Tech on SPC Net. ACP stands for ACtion Point.

Excuse the time/date of this call..

The CCS that I mentioned (CCS7 presently) is like the modern term for CCIS.
I'm not sure why they changed it, but that's the accepted acronym now. The
information that I got from CO magazine was discussing the BOCs' involvement
in 800 services now. It's highly possible (and probable) that they use the
same method of signaling for this. Hmm...Oh well, still, I want to know about
the different versions of CCS. Later

Ok, the international version of CCS is known as as CCITT6, (or 'the CCITT
signalling system No. 6) which are centered around an International Switching
Center (ISC). CCITT No. 6 can identify 2048 trunks (CCS can ID 8192 trunks).
I have some pages from an old BSTJ on CCIS in front of me, they have a good
amount of information about CCITT6 in here. One interesting table inn here is
Calling parties categries, which are in bits 13-16 of a CCITT No. 6 'message',
there are provisions for operators in French, English, German, Russian, and
Spanish, and other user selectable languages, data call, test call, spare,
etc. I'll have to read more about this, it would be interesting to find out
how you could make an int'l call over CCITT No. 6 (or maybe 7 now as someone
said) as a test call.

A long, long time ago, Jester Sluggo found some stuff about Badgers while
trashing. Just today, in conversation, I found out a bit about what these
