Local Switching Line Port. BA-RI agrees to unbundle Local Switching, also known as End Office Switching, to enable Cox to interconnect its Loops (i.e., Loops provided by Cox through its own Loop facilities) to a central office switching point or Switching Element that provides access to BA-RI=s exchange services. The Switching Element will enable Cox to interconnect at the BA-RI end office via a physical collocation arrangement, or such other alternative interconnection arrangement(s) as the Parties may mutually agree, or FCC rules, the Act, or Board rules may otherwise require. Cox may request shared or dedicated routing. Unless Cox requests shared routing through the Network Design Request (“NDR”) process, Cox shall define through the NDR process the routing plan (i.e., customized routing) that will be used by its Customers for each BA-RI switch in which unbundled Local Switching will be provided, charges for which are provided in the Pricing Schedule (Exhibit A hereto). BA-RI will implement, where it is technically feasible to do so and where facilities exist, that routing plan and any associated dedicated trunking needed to support the introduction of customized routing on that Local Switching Network Element. The Local Switching functionality shall include all of the features, functions and capabilities that BA-RI has purchased or has the right to use, including but not limited to: line signaling, signaling capabilities of the switch, digit reception, dialed number translations, call screening (the switch-based feature which permits the switch to differentiate line treatment or routing based on specific classes of service), routing, recording, call supervision, dial tone, switching, network address (when available in the particular switch) to directory number, announcements, calling features and capabilities (including call processing), Centrex features and functionality, Automatic Call Distributor (ACD), Carrier pre- subscription (i.e., long distance carrier, intraLATA toll as deployed), testing and other operational features inherent to the switch and switch software provided, however, that in cases where Cox wishes to activate a feature or function in the BA-RI network or in a specific switch with respect to which verifiable capacity problems may affect BA-RI's ability to utilize services or features for its own use or offer services to other Telecommunications Carriers, the Parties agree to work cooperatively to seek a solution to such capacity problem to the extent technic...
