Hosting the No. 10A Remote Switching System By D. W. BROWN,* J. J. DRISCOLL,* F. M. LAX,* M. W. SAAD,* and j. G. WHITEMYER* (Manuscript received August 31, 1982) The No. 10A Remote Switching System (RSS) has brought a new dimension to telephone switching in the rural area. The capability to host a 10A RSS was first made available on the metropolitan switches, the No. 1 and No. 1A ESS. The capability has now been extended to the suburban switch, the No. 2B ESS. This article describes the additions and modifications made to the No. 2B ESS to allow it to host the 10A RSS. The discussion also covers the administrative and maintenance features provided and their associated host software implementation.
