Digital Access Carrier System DACS
by hybrid <hybrid@dtmf.org>
How did I get this info? -- Well the truth is, as a young child I was
abducted by extra terrestrial biological entitys who hardwired microchips in
my brain that allow me to intercept the thoughts of telecommunications
engineers via ESP.. I was told to gather intricate information about the
planet Earth's international PSTN, so when my people from the distant world
of xinbin come to inhabit the planet, they can use the information I have
transmitted to them from the microchips in my brain as a means to take over
our communication networks... er, shit, thats not rite (better lay off the
caffiene for a bit).. What I ment to say was, a friend of mine werks for BT,
and gave me some nice info on DACS :) -werd
Introduction.
Digital Access Carrier System is used by British Telecom to transform one
residential line into two seperate lines without actually installing an
additional trunk pair. The idea of DACS is very similar to the design and
implementation of the WB9OO unit used in the past (http://hybrid.dtmf.org/
files/hybrid-files/wb900.txt). The DACS system is becomming increasingly
popluar in the UK beacuse more and more people are requesting additional
lines, usually for net access.

The chances are, if you order another line from BT, they will simply
multiplex your existing line into 2 seperate carriers. Think about it.. if
you have one line operating on a dedicated carrier, then the line is
multiplexed into 2 serperate carriers, the bandwith will be cut in half. To
this date, BT are encouraging its customers to join the 'BT SuperHighway' by
installing a second line.. What BT dont tell you is that you will only be
able to get a maximum of 28.8bps from your 'second' line.
In this file, I'll look into the DACS carrier system in detail, aswell as
ways to determine what kind of trunk installation you have if you have
ordered a second line from BT. Werd, enjoy the file..
DACS II
The origional DACS system had limited capabilitys, and did not allow the
customer to have CLASS services on their line. The newer DACS implementation
is called DACS II and allows a slightly more advanced service to customers.
Now people with DACSII units on their line, have access to CLASS (Customer
Loop Access Signalling System). The new DACS hardware, allows customers lines
to have K Break (Disconnect Clear), aswell as common services such as CLI,
which where previously unavailable to DACS I customers.
At the eXchange
All exchanges have a database of different customers who have been fitted
with the DACS equipment. Some of the commands used on the CSS database at
the local terminating exchange are as follows:
<DFTR> DISPLAY FRAME TERMINATION RANGE (to see if DACS equipment is
fitted to the exchange)
<DFJ> DISPLAY FRAME JUMPER (to determine whether a particular
customer is using DACS1 or DACS2)
Remote End eXchange records
The Local Network Records (CSS/LNR) are modified/editited as follows on the
O/S at the exchange:
<ESU> ENTER SHARED USE
<MSU> MODIFY SHARED USE
<DRT> DISPLAY ROUTING
<HEH> INVALID COMMAND
Compatability of DACS:
GOOD..
