- [ THE GREEN BOX : BIOC AGENT 003'S COURSE IN BASIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS/ PART6 ]
-
-
- The Green Box generates useful tones such as COIN COLLECT, COIN RETURN, and
- RINGBACK. These are the tones that ACTS or the TSPS operator would send to
- the CO when appropriate. Unfortunately, the green box cannot be used at a
- fortress station, but must be used by the CALLED party. The tones (hz) are:
-
- COIN COLLECT 700 + 1100
- COIN RETURN 1100 + 1700
- RINGBACK 700 + 1700
-
- Before the called party sends any of these tones, an operator released
- signal should be sent to alert the MF detectors at the CO. This can be done
- by sending 900 + 1500 Hz or a single 2600 Hz wink (90 ms) followed by a 60 ms
- gap and then the appropriate signal for at least 900 ms. Also, do not forget
- that the initial rate is collected shortly before the 3 minute period is up.

-
- We have taken this information and written a software green box for the Cat.
-
- After a lengthy pause to admire first our interesting club title page, please
- take a moment to marvel at the nice graphics used in the actual program. You
- will then notice that there are four main options:
-
- AWAIT CALLER: This option will set your system awaiting callers. When
- someone calls, the Cat will answer the phone and send
- the predefined signals, pause, and then hang up. You
- should notice the status line and indecators at the
- upper left hand corner. The status line shows you what
- is happening at a given time. The indecators in the box
- at the upper left hand corner represent:
- L=20 Length of signal (default is 20).
- C=00 Number of calls received.
- HUNG/PICK The current phone status.
- The AWAIT CALLER option has several nice applications:
- 1. Return your money to you when you call home.
- 2. Collect money from anyone calling from a payphone
- so that they can't talk or anything. (nasty...)
- 3. After it hangs up on them, they will wonder what was
- wrong with your phone. When the payphone starts
- ringing, they will wonder otherwise.
-
- COLLECT CONTENTS: This option will cause the contents of the "holding
- chamber" to be dumped into the "main vault". It will
- also cause the payphone to begin demanding more money.
- RETURN CONTENTS: This option will cause the contents of the H.C. to be
- dumped into the coin return slot, and so returning them
- to the caller.
-
- RINGBACK PAYPHONE: This option will cause the CO to call the payphone the
- caller was calling from.
-
-
- Other options of The Green Box include:
-
- [P]ickup phone and [H]angup phone.
- [D]ial (TOUCHTONE + BLUEBOX)
- [T]ones - Mix & create your own tones.
- [Q]uit - Again, you will be amazed at
- the incredibly stupid graphics.
-
-
- We would like to formally thank the authors of The Electronic Box because we
- used the hertz/tone mixing routines from that wonderful program. Thanx guys!
