==Phrack Magazine== Volume Six, Issue Forty-Seven, File 14 of 22 The Glenayre GL3000 Paging and Voice Retrieval System by armitage (armitage@dhp.com) Welcome ------- I am glad you decided to read this article. This article will explain the basis of what this system is, show many features, and guide you through a few basic operations (pager reactivation, and meet-me setup). This system is one of many different paging systems, but I have found many scattered through the nation, so if you are wondering what you can do with all those carriers found while scanning, compare them to the login screen shown later in the article. Summary ------- The Glenayre GL3000 paging and voice retrieval system is a fully featured digital radio paging terminal which also provides integrated voice mailbox facilities. I'm sure this is not important, but so you know, the gl3000 family comes in 5 different respective sizes (es, s, m, l, and xl). All of the systems have same features except the only thing that differs is their bandwidth, and their capabilities. Analog and digital paging formats are supported, it provides for tone only, voice, numeric, and alphanumeric paging. Features -------- Voice Mail Box Features ----------------------- The voice mail box feature of the system complements the pager router system very nicely. This voice mail system is just like any other, so I won't go into detail over it.

Glossary of Terms ----------------- I have listed some terms you might have trouble with while you are playing around with this system, this is nowhere near as many as there are, but the most vital are listed below. Address - 1. The telephone number dialed by a calling party which identifies the party called. 2. A location or destination in a computer program. Bell 103 - The North American standard for 300 bps modems. Bell 212A - The North American standard for 1200 bps modems. Blocking - The process of grouping data into transmission blocks. The inability of a pabx to service connection requests, usually because its switching matrix can only handle a limited number of connections simultaneously. Blocking occurs if a call request from a user cannot be handled due to an insufficient number of paths through the switching matrix; blocking thus prevents free stations from communicating. Borscht - Acronym for the functions that must be performed in the Central office at the subscriber's analog interface of a digital system. (battery, overvoltage, ringing, supervision, coding, hybrid, and test) Broadband - A communication system with a large bandwidth. Channel - Electronic communications path, usually of 4,000 Hz (voice) bandwidth. Crossbar - A type of telephone switch. Crossbar Switch - (In PABX technology) a switch that has multiple vertical paths, multiple horizontal paths, and electromagnetically operated mechanical means for connecting any vertical path with any horizontal path. Modern PABXs often use an electronic version of the crossbar switch. Data - In phone systems: any information other than speech or tones. Data Set - The telephone companies term for a modem. Decoder - A device that converts information into another form of signals. (A DTMF decoder converts dtmf tones to numerical dtmf values) Dial Long Line - Special Service device which extends loop signalling distance. Digital - Variable as opposed to constant. Data characters are coded in discrete, separate pulses or signal levels. Contrast with Analog. Duplex - Simultaneous two-way independent transmissions in both directions. Echo - A faint return of transmitted data. ESS - (Electronic Switching System): A telephone switching machine using electronics, often combined with electro-mechanical crosspoints, and usually with a stored program computer as the control element. FCC - (Federal Communications Commission): A government agency that monitors and regulates all use of the electromagnetic spectrum for communications. Handshake, Handshaking - A preliminary process that is part of a communications protocol that establishes a data connection. Interface - The connection between two separate and distinct mechanical or computerized systems. Interoffice Trunks - Shared facilities connecting CO switches. Link - A communications circuit. Local CO - Central office (end office) capable of switching calls between local subscriber circuits. Local Loop - The voice-band channel connecting the subscriber to the central office. Logging - Recording data associated with a system. Multiplexing - The division of a transmission facility into two or more channels. Network - An interconnection of computer systems, terminals, or data communications facilities. Parameters - Variables designed for system uses. Port - A computer interface capable of attaching a communication protocol. PBX or PABX - (Private Branch Exchange) A system providing switching in an office or building. Voice PABX - Voice only PABX for voice circuits. ---------------- I hope you could use this information.
