Inside the Golden Pyramid


A few hours later, after he relaxed at Maxim s with a few shots of Brenniv ­n, he continued on his quest.

And there he was. The 5ESS craft shell prompt. The switch was his.

First things first, The Don thought to himself.

Using the Batch Mode Input feature, he entered three separate change orders to disable the three phone numbers specified on the paper ”328186, 324730, and 322169 ”at Knuth s desired time. The switch swallowed up the commands and burped out an acknowledgement . On April 14, 2004, beginning at 08:00 GMT, the lines would be down for three hours.

Since he was already in the system, The Don decided to do some investigating of his own. Just for fun, he decided to set up a voice intercept using a No Test Trunk on one of the phone numbers given to him by Knuth. Maybe he would be able to figure out what Knuth was up to. When used legitimately, No Test Trunks are for emergencies, busy verification, or the testing of subscriber lines. They are also the easiest way to set up an unauthorized wiretap.

From the main prompt, The Don ran the interactive menu system and was greeted pleasantly.

After finding the Routing Class assigned to the Busy Line Verification trunk group , The Don picked an unused telephone number served by the switch. He scribbled it down on the back of the receipt: 324799. Next, The Don added a test position and special route feature to his unused number. The final step was to add a Remote Call Forward feature from 324799 to 328186, the number he was interested in monitoring.

Choosing the BRCS FEATURE DEFINITION menu, The Don scrolled through to the Feature Assignment (Line Assignment) menu. He added /CFR to the first entry of the feature list, changed the value in column A (Activation) to Y , and typed U into column P (Presentation).

The Don pressed Enter twice and then U for Update. The Call Forwarding Line Parameters menu appeared automatically.

The Don entered the number to forward to, 328186, in the FWDTODN field and pressed U again to update the contents of the screen into the database. The modifications were complete. Now, when The Don called his unassigned number, he would be bridged onto the target phone line if there were a call in progress.

Sort of like three-way calling. But much cooler . He logged out of the switch by pressing Q and then CTRL-P . Piece of cake.
