- This file is going to give the new phreaks something to begin by. This will
- give a pretty good explanation of the ESS network and how it is operated.
- Although I make no assumptions about you, anyone should be able to understand
- this file so here is the inph0! Enjoy!
-
- First off, what does ESS stand for? ESS in itself, is an acronym for the
- words Electronic Switching System. It is a phone network that is used
- nowadays to try to slow down telephone phreaks but that will never happen.
-
- Within ESS switching there are basically 2 kinds of switches. The local
- switch and the tandem switch. The local switch, as you might have already
- guessed, handles local calls, whereas the tandem switch handles long distance
- calls. Such as calls to another area code.
-
- With the local switch it basically works like this, say you want to call your
- friend that lives a couple blocks away, you pick up the phone and dial his
- phone number. This is what is happening in the process of this. The call will
- go from your local switch directly to his local switch and therefore the call
- is connected to go through. (Sure there is alot more to it than this but I am
- staying basic for a specific cause.) If it happens to be a long distance call
- you are wanting to make then you will dial the number, it will go to your
- tandem switch, then connect to his tandem switch, his local switch, therefore
- then connecting your call. Here are two diagrams to help you understand this
- process:
-
- A local call in your area:
-
- Home **** Local Switch **** Local Switch **** Their House
-
- A long distance call:
-
- Home **** Local Switch **** Tandem Switch **** Tandem Switch **** Local
- Switch **** Their House
-
- * = Phone Line
-
-
- That is the very basics of the ESS connecting process. There will be more
- files to come on a more technical level for those who got interested in this
- and wanted more, so please be patient. I will write more of these over the
- ESS network.
