841866 2010-02-24 21:32:00 howdy,

it's a switch message printout with a terminal identity transaction tag, that I am trying to authenticate.

cheers

841867 2010-02-24 21:36:00 So, whats the ID of the terminal? And how did you get it? Speedy Gonzales (78)

Re the terminal identity transaction tags listed at the foot of the switch message printouts,

Which ones the real one/s & which one/s the fake one & why?

RE your question, got them from a friend who has become frustrated around the whole issue.

841869 2010-02-24 22:20:00 I believe that only the first string is valid. Sweep (90)
841870 2010-02-24 22:29:00 Sweep, why is that?

Would there be any situation in which if I sent a switch message from terminal identity OHPWA that it would or could create a 'string' [terminal transaction identity tag] in the form of the other strings i have posted?

thanks

841871 2010-02-25 00:00:00 The rest is the date and time ack means it was sent. Why would your mate be frustrated over this? And how would you send from OHPWA, you would have to be there, and near a terminal. Thats all, you'll see. And whatever the message is below it. Looks like that message was sent from one terminal to 4 other terminals at the same time on the same day Speedy Gonzales (78)
841872 2010-02-25 00:15:00 I appreciate your feedback.

Yes, the switch message is claimed to have been sent from the location of the terminal identifier. My friend believes it wasn't.

I am trying to find out if the terminal identifier in each string is legitimate or not.

Is there any action on a terminal, say WNPWA for example, that would result in the transaction identity tag for terminal WNPWA adding a B or a 1 or a 2
onto the end of that terminal identifier WNPWA, if WNPWA was sending a switch message?

841873 2010-02-25 00:30:00 trying to explain this...

OHPWA is a legitimate terminal identifier for the Otahuhu Watch House.

WNPWA is a legitimate terminal identifier for the Wellington Watch House.

If OHPWA sent a switch message to WNPWA, is there anything which might generate a
B or a 1 or a 2, onto the end of OHPWA's transaction identity tag-as in those examples I posted?

e.gs:

OHPWAB 0007 22/01/93 09 : 16 : 18 ACK DL

841874 2010-02-25 00:41:00 Well, I know theyre legit terminals. That 1, 2 or B just means there's more than 1 terminal in that area. Thats why there's OHPWA, 1, 2 and B. The operator who is sending it, would put 1, 2 or B on the message Speedy Gonzales (78)
