Subject: Motorola CMT Programming
Here are some notes I found regarding programming Motorola cellular
products. I have an 8000H portable phone. Some comments:
From the keyboard, you must know the security code to get to
programming mode. You may enter programming mode a total of three
times. After three times, the phone must be returned to the dealer to
have a counter reset. However, at least on the 8000H and Ultra Classic
portables, one can fabricate a jumper, and reset the counter easily.
Before changing anything, I'd use * to step through and record
your present values.
Note that if you install the jumper, you would enter 55# and then
follow the notes for entering the customer/system information. You
can also first do a 32# to clear all timers and restore features to
standard. THIS ERASES ALL STORED PARAMATERS!
What I found most useful was to step through, record all paramaters
entering programming mode from the keypad without the jumper.
Then, power up with the jumper, use 32# to clear evertying
power off
remove jumper
power up
reset params entering programming mode from keyboard,
using 000000 as the security code
This technique let me have two phone numbers in two markets, even
though the phone is single NAM. I'd get to a particular spot on the
road, with a convenient rest area, and reprogram my phone for service
(as contracted for!) in the second city. This was to have a local
number and not pay roaming rates in the second city. On the return
trip, I'd stop and reprogram for my "home" market.
Disclaimers: You can put the phone in several modes intended for
alignment and testing "on the bench". Don't do it. You could also set
the phone up such that the contracted for service won't work properly.
Don't program paramaters to other than those provided by your carrier.
There is no way (as far as I know) to alter the ESN on these phones.
Well, I'm sure it's possible if you're the vendor but there is no
magic keypad code to do it.
You can also make the phone a cellular receiver: power up with jumper
353# Select Handset audio path
08# RX Audio ON
11xxx# Three digit number, i.e. 11362#
474# Set to mid level audio
11xxx# Change to another channel
Power off, remove jumper, power up to restore normal phone
operations.

* Is the antenna. I is the pins. Note: the case screws are NOT
at ground. The outer silver part of the antenna connector is.
I soldered a piece of stiff resistor lead at the X, and made it just
the proper length. I can then move it to touch the ground to read sig
strength, and then move it to touch nothing for normal operations.
Note that soldering to these pads is tricky, and probably voids the
warranty. A more elegant way would be to use a DC adaptor (Ora and
Celldyne sell them) and drill two small holes to use to connect with
an external jumper. No soldering. Note that the phone is not in power
save mode when in self test/diag mode and the battery will go down
quickly!
The inital display is channel and receive sig strength indicator,
useful for determing how close you are to a tower, or for aiming a
yagi in the desired direction.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Your documentation above is remarkably
similar to the way Motorola has programmed their phones for the past
several years. Your documentation would work easily on many old phones
from Motorola I suspect. My old 600 channel Motorola phone also went
into 'local' or 'test/programming mode' with the same grounding of a
pin as you describe it above, enabling one to reset the counter which
supposedly restricted programming the phone number to three times.
Since my Motorola had a 25-pin thing on it which connected to the
battery pack, the way I handled the grounding of the pin was to get a
25-pin connector from Radio Shack. I opened it up, shorted the desired
lead in there to another lead coming from the pin on the back of the
phone known to be a floating ground. Then when I wanted to go into
local or test mode, I'd just slide the battery pack a little back out
of the way, insert the little connector in there which had the changes
I had made, then slide the battery forward again reconnecting it all.
Quite simple and quick; snap in, reprogram quickly, snap out and restart
the phone. Of course I caution anyone doing re-programming of this
sort to have made prior arrangements with all involved carriers. PAT]

Subject: The PUC(s) and So-Called Tariffs
For all the years that I have been in the telecom business, the
various LEC's when they don't want or know how to deliver a particular
service or request tell you something like: "Well, it's not available
because it isn't in our tariffs, so therefore ..."
Being a long time Contel subscriber and having enjoyed a very close
relationship with Contel, I see General Telephone's creeping influence
and attitude getting into Contel's policies. Has anyone else -- in
particular in California -- noticed this? Especially little things
like "Assumed 9 Centrex" no longer being offered because "We're not
tariffed for that" ...
Has anyone even considered that a telephone utility as part of their
monopoly on local service has not only a duty but a right to offer
anyting that the C.O. switch is capable of delivering. My position is
that if there is to be a charge for this delivery it is up to the LEC
to then go to the PUC and prove to them that a charge should be made.
I don't think that it is correct and may possibly be illegal to
withold service based on the old "historic" position if it's not in
the tariff it doesn't exit.
I am not speaking of any major custom designs like four wire delivery
on POTS lines or some such request for custom circuits, but rather for
simple adjustments like on the DMS-100 C.O.D. Cutoff on disconnect for
lop and ground start lines to allow fro fine tuning of PBX to customer
equipment.
Any thoughts, experiences and comments would be appreciated.
Al Cohan The Network Group Mammoth Lakes, CA
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: In the past, Illinois Bell always had a
miscellaneous tariff on file covering 'special customer applications
and requirements'. I'm not sure if that was the exact name of it or
not. What it did was allow them to custom design the service as
needed and then file a 'tariff amendment' covering what they had done.
For example, during the early to middle 1970's, I operated a telephone
recorded announcement service here in Chicago. I gave a three minute
daily message of news and events going on in the Chicago area which
was paid for by various sponsors each day who were announced in the
course of the recorded message. Incoming calls to my main listed number,
HARrison 7-1234 were distributed to about 35 lines which were in a
hunt group. So far so good; hunt groups are tariffed. The recordings
were on equipment rented from IBT -- large, bulky, *very* heavy things
normally used for intercept service in central offices ("the number
you have dialed is not in service") -- with round, spinning drums inside
them coated with what appeared to be mylar tape. A ringing line would
activate one of the 35 or so such machines (each one handled one line)
and as the drum inside would spin around and around a 'finger' would
drop down onto the drum to read it, just like a phonograph needle touches
a record when the arm is mechanically lowered. Again, so far so good,
these were tariffed even if not in common use.
What was *not* tariffed orginally however was having the machines all
wired so that one was a master and the others were all slaves to it
for the purpose of recording the messages. Originally, IBT suggested
to me I should record my message 35 times in a row, once on each machine.
We discussed the feasability of that -- none whatsoever -- and the
phone guy showed up at my office one day with a boxful of odds and
ends, various little wires and things, and after diddling around for
about three hours informed me of his improvements: a little toggle
switch mounted on the wall was to be used first to 'busy out' all 35
lines when it was time to record a new message. New calls would not be
accepted but calls in progress would be allowed to finish playing out
or until the caller disconnected, whichever came first. Then I was to
use the telephone associated with machine one to record my message in
the usual way, but it would be simultaneously recorded on all machines.
Following that, if satisfied with my recording, I was to flip the little
toggle switch on the wall back to its normal position and all lines
would go back in service with the 'busy out' condition removed.
I asked him what was his tariff authority for this. His answer was
that a miscellaneous tariff covers special situations and allows Bell
to report after the fact any 'special constructions' done for subscribers
and that the Commission would always approve it at Bell's 'suggested'
pricing for the service. I had no arguments with that; I was thrilled
they had done this. The phone guy was one of these old men who had
been with the company for decades and he told me in all his years with
the company he had never seen anything quite like what I had there. He
said I was the first subscriber of Illinois Bell to 'do recorded messages'
that were not religious, most of which were just on one line, never
a hunt group of 35 lines.
He also put in call registers for me. Each line had a register which inc-
remented by one whenever a call came on that line. In addition there was
a register which showed a grand total for all lines and a register which
incremented by one each time all positions were engaged (thus causing a
new caller to get a busy signal) although this was not evidence that a
call had been turned away, merely that *if* there had been a call it
would have gotten a busy signal. All the registers could be reset by hand
whenever desired. They also put an 'annunciator board' on the wall
with 35 beehive lamps to illuminate when the line was in use or a new
call was ringing in. They were apparently quite proud of their work
and for about a year afterward every visiting executive of a telco
somewhere in the USA who came to IBT headquarters was always brought
over to my office to see this unusual system the old guy had developed
for me. Some exec from IBT would come in, bringing one or two people
with him who he'd introduce as vice-president of whatever from Ohio
Bell, Michigan Bell or wherever. They'd poke and prod at my machines,
say they had never seen anything like it before, and have it all
explained to them.
About six months after it was installed I got a formal letter from the
Illinois Commerce Commission stating that IBT had petitioned them for a
'single subscriber miscellaneous tariff' with the monthly fee
requested. I had to sign off and return it to the ICC stating I had no
objections to Bell's petition and found the arrangements and tariff
to be satisfactory. Oh, I almost forgot: I had automatic reverse
toll service on it also; 'Enterprise 5748' would connect from anywhere
in northern Indiana, northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin. Call
volume was typically seven to eight thousand calls per 24 hours with
my busiest times each day logging five to six hundred calls per hour. My
sponsor/patrons paid me money to talk about them and their services to
whoever called 427-1234 eight thousand times each day. PAT]

In Sweden and maybe also Germany, the public phone-operators are
planning to provide CID in a different style than the American.
According to the specifications, the public exchange will deliver the
