{"component": "clause", "props": {"groups": [{"snippet": "17.1 Subject to Section 11.0, each Party shall provide the other Party with access to databases and associated signaling necessary for call routing and completion by providing SS7 Common Channel Signaling (\u201cCCS\u201d) Interconnection in accordance with existing Tariffs, and Interconnection and access to toll free service access code (e.g., 800/888/877) databases, LIDB, and any other necessary databases in accordance with existing Tariffs and/or agreements with other unaffiliated carriers, at the rates set forth in Exhibit A. Alternatively, either Party may secure CCS Interconnection from a commercial SS7 hub provider, and in that case the other Party will permit the purchasing Party to access the same databases as would have been accessible if the purchasing party had connected directly to the other Party\u2019s CCS network. In either case, Level 3 shall comply with BA\u2019s SS7 certification process prior to establishing CCS Interconnection with BA.\n17.2 The Parties will provide CCS Signaling to each other, where and as available, in conjunction with all Local Traffic, Compensable Internet Traffic, Toll Traffic, Meet Point Billing Traffic, and Transit Traffic. The Parties will cooperate on the exchange of TCAP messages to facilitate interoperability of CCS-based features between their respective networks, including all CLASS Features and functions, to the extent each Party offers such features and functions to its Customers. All CCS Signaling parameters will be provided upon request (where available), including called party number, Calling Party Number, originating line information, calling party category, and charge number. All privacy indicators will be honored. The Parties will follow all Ordering and Billing Forum-adopted standards pertaining to CIC/OZZ codes. Where CCS Signaling is not available, in-band multi-frequency (\u201cMF\u201d) wink start signaling will be provided. Any such MF arrangement will require a separate local trunk circuit between the Parties\u2019 respective switches in those instances where the Parties have established End Office to End Office high usage trunk groups. In such an arrangement, each Party will outpulse the full ten-digit telephone number of the called party to the other Party.\n17.3 Each Party shall provide trunk groups, where available and upon reasonable request, that are configured utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear channel transmission to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties\u2019 respective networks.\n17.4 The following publications describe the practices, procedures and specifications generally utilized by BA for signaling purposes and is listed herein to assist the Parties in meeting their respective Interconnection responsibilities related to Signaling:\n(a) Bellcore Generic Requirements, GR-905-CORE, Issue 1, March, 1995, and subsequent issues and amendments; and\n(b) \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Atlantic Supplement Common Channel Signaling Network Interface Specification (BA-905).\n17.5 Each Party shall charge the other Party mutual and reciprocal rates for any usage- based charges for CCS Signaling, toll free service access code (e.g., 800/888/877) database access, LIDB access, and access to other necessary databases, as follows: BA shall charge Level 3 in accordance with Exhibit A hereto and applicable Tariffs; Level 3 shall charge BA rates equal to the rates BA charges \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587, unless Level 3\u2019s Tariffs for CCS signaling provide for lower generally available rates, in which case Level 3 shall charge BA such lower rates; except to the extent a Party uses a third party vendor for the provision of CCS Signaling, in which case such charges shall apply only to the third party vendor.", "samples": [{"hash": "ixOW3hiQHLj", "uri": "/contracts/ixOW3hiQHLj#databases-and-signaling", "label": "Interconnection Agreement", "score": 21.0,
