Loop Install Completion Process Sample Clauses

Loop Install Completion Process. 7.3.1.1. Sprint will perform a completion test, at no charge to KMC, from the customer demarcation point when provisioning services to an end customer. Sprint will 7.3.1.1.1. Sprint’s completion testing for unbundled Loops includes but is not limited to loop current, noise level, power influence, continuity (short, ground, cross, foreign voltage), ground resistance, line balance, dial tone/break dial tone (from KMC switch), revert ring (from KMC switch), and circuit loss testing. When performing loop current, dial tone, and revert ring tests Sprint dials into a KMC owned or maintained switch to complete such testing and therefore each of these tests are subject to the availability of KMC’s testing ports. 7.3.1.1.2. Sprint technicians will correct any abnormalities that may prevent the loop from passing the prescribed tests unless the cause of the problem is no dial tone or insufficient loop current when the loop is connected to a KMC owned or maintained switch. In the event that Sprint does not detect dial tone from the KMC owned or maintained switch Sprint will notify the National CLEC Provisioning Center (“NCPC”). 7.3.1.1.3. Troubles following the working of a service order: Reported troubles found to be in Sprint’s network are corrected with no additional charges to the KMC. 7.3.1.2. At KMC’s request, and if technically feasible, Sprint will test and report trouble on conditioned loops for all of the line’s features, functions, and capabilities, and will not restrict its testing to voice-transmission only. Testing shall include Basic Testing, which will be performed at no charge to KMC, and Cooperative Testing which shall be performed at the request of KMC and at the rates contained in Table One. Basic Testing shall include simple metallic measurements only, performed by accessing the loop through the voice switch. 7.3.1.3. Sprint will perform completion tests for DS1 loops at Parity. Tests include, but are not limited to, slope, longitudinal balance, ▇▇▇▇, insertion loss and wideband noise. 7.3.1.4. Basic Testing does not include cooperative efforts that require Sprint’s technician to work jointly with KMC’s staff (“Cooperative Testing”). 7.3.1.5. Cooperative testing will be provided by Sprint at KMC’s expense. Sprint technicians will try to contact KMC’s representative at the conclusion of installation. If the KMC does not respond within 5 minutes, Sprint may, in its sole discretion, abandon the test and KMC will be charged for the test. 7.3.1.6. Spri...
