Loop Testing Sample Clauses

Loop Testing. At CLEC’s request, and if Technically Feasible, CenturyLink 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. To the extent CLEC requests testing that would require CenturyLink to purchase new equipment, establish new procedures, or make systems modifications, CLEC will compensate CenturyLink for costs incurred to provide such testing. Request for additional testing must be submitted pursuant to the BFR Process in Article IV. 72.2.1 CLEC agrees to follow the process and procedures for reporting and resolving circuit trouble or repairs set forth in the Standard Practices published on the CenturyLink Website. Before contacting CenturyLink’s Trouble Maintenance Center (CTMC), CLEC must first conduct trouble isolation to ensure that the trouble d.0oes not originate from CLEC’s own equipment or network or the equipment of CLEC’s customer. 72.2.2 Testing shall include Basic Testing, Optional Cooperative Testing and Joint Testing. Optional Cooperative Testing and Joint Testing are performed only at CLEC’s request and at CLEC’s cost. 72.2.3 Basic Testing shall include simple metallic measurements only. Basic Testing does not include cooperative or joint testing efforts that require CenturyLink’s technician to work jointly with CLEC. 72.2.4 Cooperative Testing is provided on Service Order activity only and will be provided by CenturyLink at CLEC’s expense.
