- Every once in a while I like to cut through all the crap in this
- newsgroup and post something useful. I don't really read it that much,
- but when I do, I invariably see shit like: "Y00 ar3 L3m#", etc. I don't
- understand why you people can't just talk about computers, phone systems,
- etc. In attempt to post useful info, and maybe get a thread started about
- something interesting, rather than try to prove how cool I am, here is
- some info on phone switch which is very popular on college campuses and
- larger businesses. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, please post
- them here. If you have any information about the switch or don't like to
- post here, feel free to e-mail me.

- The Intecom IBX (Integrated Business eXchange)
-
- The Intecom IBX, is a fully digital, redundant and distributed phone
- switch. It can handle voice as well as data and has the capability to
- use regular analog lines and pots phones and also proprietary digital
- phones made specifically for the IBX. It is redundant in that it has two
- CPUs, one active and one in stand-by, in case one CPU should fail. If
- one CPU should fail it can switch to the other without any loss of phone
- service. The phone switch is distributed in that it has no one
- centralized local from which all lines are run. It has many remote
- switch stations which act much like a 5ESS/5RS pair. The IBX can handle
- at least 10,000 lines (I know this because Temple Universtiy, which is
- the school I attend, has an entire exchange which it services) and can
- also handle a large data switch network concurrently.
-
- Here are some inteesting test numbers for the Intecom IBX. These will
- obviously only work on phones that are connected to an IBX switch and are
- pretty much standard. They have been tested at more than a few places
- that have IBXs. The ANI number reads back the extension which that phone
- exists on on that system. It will NOT read back a complete telephone
- number or outgoing trunk number. If you do not understand how DID
- (Direct Inward Dial) works, I suggest you read up.

- And there in the distance was a large, abusive, gargling man with a sack of
- potatoes and some very pure plutonium, screaming at the top of his lungs,
- that he, and only he, was the Lord's Son, Jesus Christ, who without, we
- would have no need for pain and suffering and tampons, and several other
- odd toiletries found in the lavishes of our expensive, upper-middle-class
- homes in the suburbs of Cincinati and elsewhere, for without him, we
- would be nothing but piles of ash or possibly, if we were lucky, maybe
- even the attendant at a "Whack-A-Mole" game on the boardwalk in Wildwood,
- but only if we were really nice to him. As I watched him and his ranting
- go on for several minutes, while, of course, paying sincere attention to
- his words and their strict meaning and application to life today, I
- thought to myself, "I think that I shall be nice to him, for I would much
- like to work on the boardwalk."
