es saying it's changed. but
they probably throw away those papers
and you will be able to find alot of
interesting inpho by trashing.
also, most or all calls to cosmos are
traced, or the number has ani equip
ment hooked up to it, so be careful!
 
 
identification:
---------------
 
cosmos logins and proceedures vary
from area to area, some ask for
just the login and password without
a wirecenter, others require it.
the phollowing information is based
on southern bell's cosmos system.
 
to identify a cosmos system after
connecting you will see:
 
;login:
password:
wc?
 
the ;login: is the username, which
usually consists of two letters and
two numbers ie: pa52. sometimes name:
is substituted for, or is required
with ;login: again it depends on what
system you are on. next it will ask
for the password: which depending on
the system, has different formats for
passwords. some make a little sense
like base52 while others may be eight
random characters. last thing you will
see is the wirecenter. a wirecenter
is usually an abbreviation of the city
that it covers. such as oa for oakland
or pp for pembroke pines, in any case
it is two letters. the wirecenter will
cover a certain amount of prefixes.
and you will not be able to look up
other phone #'s unless the prefixes
are in the specific wirecenter.  the
promt for cosmos is the wirecenter and
a % sign.  ie: wc% where wc is the wire
center you are logged in as.  if you
do happen to get ahold of a login and
password, but the system still asks
for a wirecenter, then you can tell
what are valid wirecenters by when it
asks for login & password, then the
wirecenter and you enter a wrong wc
the system will respond with:
 
;login: pa52
password:
wc?xx
wc??
invalid login
 
if you noticed, wc?? came after the
wirecenter, now if you had a valid
wc, it would just say invalid login
after the wc without the wc??.  ie:
 
;login:pa52
password:
wc?oa
invalid login
 
that would mean you have the correct
wc, but incorrect password.  if all
goes well you will get oa% as the
promt for whatever your wc is.
 
transaction codes
----------- -----
 
cosmos has a set of three letter
commands called transaction codes
which tell the system what to do. they
enable you to view, modify, or add
information about telephone numbers,
class of service, operating exchanges,
etc.
 
here is a brief description of the
most commonly used transaction codes:
 
cay - create an assembly
cca - change customer attributes
day - delete an assembly
dre - deny and restore establishment
flr - frame layout report
ish - inquire about a ciruit <-phone #
loe - list originating line equipment
mal - manual assignment list
may - modify an assebly
mch - manually change hunt
mdc - manually disconnect a ciruit
sca - service order complection - auto
sir - sorting inquiry by range
slc - subscriber@tom calling features
usl - list usoc (us) file data
wcc - wire center change
