- Sample 1: A generic residential exchange. Few carriers. Note the faint
- pattern from 6900-7400.
-
- Sample 2: A split exchange. 0-4000 is residential, business from
- 4000-9999.
-
- Sample 3: A double exposure, this is a merge of a tone and carrier
- scan. A dozen odd PBX's are sandwiched between residential
- or mixed use. Note the tones and carriers at the bottom of
- the PBX DID ranges.
-
- Sample 4: Another mixed exchange, this time with wider bands. The
- voice ranges are unworking numbers. The busy bands are
- unused numbers in commercial DID groups.
-
- Sample 5: This is much like sample 4, but with a more typical blurring
- of boundaries between bands.
-
- Sample 6 & 7: More mixed exchanges, with even less distinction between
- bands. Here hunt and DID groups do not fill even bands of
- 100. This one comes from a large city where phone numbers
- are at a premium.
-
- Sample 8a & 8b: This is the same exchange scanned twice, first for tones,
- then for carriers. They look very different. Can someone
- explain the "grid" pattern in the carrier scan 8000-9999?
-
- Sample 9: Tone scanning doesn't always work well, even with the right
- kind of modem. Any real tones are here obscured by false
- responses.
-
- Sample 10: Here's an exchange with many carriers. This is what carrier
- logging is for.
-
- Sample 11: An exchange with many carriers in one band.
-
- Sample 12: Notice how this exchange fades off towards the bottom in
- places. We've seen this a lot; perhaps low numbers are
- allocated first?
