Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection Sample Clauses
The 'Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection' clause defines the requirements and procedures for using operations support systems (OSS) to manage and facilitate the interconnection of telecommunications networks at the trunk level. This typically involves the exchange of information, coordination of network elements, and support for provisioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting activities between carriers. For example, it may specify how carriers share data about trunk availability, outages, or configuration changes through automated systems. The core function of this clause is to ensure efficient, reliable, and standardized communication and coordination between networks, thereby minimizing service disruptions and operational inefficiencies.
Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection. 1.1.1 DTI will be able to order trunk-side interconnection services and facilities from GTE through a direct electronic interface over the GTE Network Data Mover ("NDM") in a nondiscriminatory manner. Orders for trunk-side interconnection will be initiated by an Access Service Request ("ASR") sent electronically by DTI over the NDM. ASRs for trunk-side interconnection will be entered electronically into GTE's Carrier Access Management System ("CAMS") to validate the request, identify any errors, and resolve any errors back to DTI. CAMS is a family of GTE systems comprised primarily of EXACT/TUF, SOG/SOP, and CABS.
1.1.2 The use of CAMS to support DTI's requests for trunk-side interconnection will operate in the following manner: GTE will route the ASR through its data center to one of two National Access Ordering Centers ("NACC"). The ASR will be entered electronically into the EXACT/TUF system for validation and correction of errors. Errors will be referred back to DTI. DTI then will correct any errors that GTE has identified and resubmit the request to GTE electronically through a supplemental ASR, without penalty or charge (e.g., order modification charge) to DTI. Similarly, errors committed by GTE subsequent to the receipt of a valid ASR from DTI will be expeditiously identified and corrected by GTE without the need for DTI's submission of a supplemental ASR. GTE then will translate the ASR into a service order for provisioning and billing. In order to convert the ASR into a service order, GTE personnel must apply the necessary elements to provision the service and include the billable elements necessary for GTE to bill ▇▇▇ for the services provided. This application also requires a determination of the access tandem to end office relationships with the service requested.
1.1.3 At the next system level, translated service orders will be distributed electronically through the SOG/SOP systems to several destinations. The SOG/SOP system will begin the actual provisioning of the service for DTI. Other GTE provisioning systems are CNAS and ACES. The GTE Database Administrative Group ("DBA") and the Special Services Control Center ("SSCC") will be the two most important destinations at this level. The DBA location will identify codes for the appropriate GTE switch in order to provide the functions required by the ASR. The SSCC will provide the engineering for the facilities over which the services will be handled. Information from these two groups (and other...
Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection. The CLEC will be able to order trunk-side interconnection services and facilities from CenturyTel via facsimile or the United States Mail. Orders for trunk-side interconnection will be initiated by an Access Service Request (“ASR”) sent by the CLEC. ASRs for trunk-side interconnection must be sent to CenturyTel to be entered into CenturyTel’s Circuit Order Processing System (“COPS”) for processing. An identification of the access tandem to end office relationships required to support the requested service must be stated on the ASR.
Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection. 1.1.1 Phone Michigan will be able to order trunk-side interconnection services and facilities from GTE through facsimile or a direct electronic interface over the GTE Network Data Mover ("NDM") in a nondiscriminatory manner. Orders for trunk-side interconnection will be initiated by an Access Service Request ("ASR") sent by Phone Michigan. ASRs for trunk-side interconnection will be entered electronically into GTE's Carrier Access Management System ("CAMS") to validate the request, identify any errors, and resolve any errors back to Phone Michigan. CAMS is a family of GTE systems comprised primarily of EXACT/TUF, SOG/SOP, and CABS.
1.1.2 The use of CAMS to support Phone Michigan's requests for trunk-side interconnection will operate in the following manner: GTE will route the ASR through its data center to one of two National Access Ordering Centers ("NAOC"). The ASR will be entered electronically into the EXACT/TUF system for validation and correction of errors. Errors will be referred back to Phone Michigan. Phone Michigan then will correct any errors that GTE has identified and resubmit the request to GTE electronically or via facsimile, through a supplemental ASR, without penalty or charge (e.g., order modification charge) to Phone Michigan. Similarly, errors committed by GTE subsequent to the receipt of a valid ASR from Phone Michigan will be expeditiously identified and corrected by GTE without the need for Phone Michigan's submission of a supplemental ASR. GTE then will translate the ASR into a service order for provisioning and billing. In order to convert the ASR into a service order, GTE personnel must apply the necessary elements to provision the service and include the billable elements necessary for GTE to ▇▇▇▇ Phone Michigan for the services provided. This application also requires a determination of the access tandem to end office relationships with the service requested.
1.1.3 At the next system level, translated service orders will be distributed electronically through the SOG/SOP systems to several destinations. The SOG/SOP system will begin the actual provisioning of the service for Phone Michigan. Other GTE provisioning systems are CNAS and ACES. The GTE Database Administrative Group ("DBA") and the Special Services Control Center ("SSCC") will be the two most important destinations at this level. The DBA location will identify codes for the appropriate GTE switch in order to provide the functions required by the ASR. The SSCC will prov...
Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection. ICG will be able to order trunk-side interconnection services and facilities from GTE through a direct electronic interface over the GTE Network Data Mover ("NDM") in a nondiscriminatory manner. Orders for trunk-side interconnection will be initiated by an Access Service Request ("ASR") sent electronically by ICG over the NDM. ASRs for trunk-side interconnection will be entered electronically into GTE's Carrier Access Management System ("CAMS") to validate the request, identify any errors, and resolve any errors back to ICG. CAMS is a family of GTE systems comprised primarily of EXACT/TUF, SOG/SOP, and CABS.
Operations Support Systems for Trunk-Side Interconnection. 1.1.1 ALLENDALE will be able to order trunk-side interconnection services and facilities from GTE in a nondiscriminatory manner.
1.1.2 The ASR will be entered by GTE electronically into the EXACT/TUF system for validation and correction of errors. Errors will be referred back to ALLENDALE. ALLENDALE then will correct any errors that GTE has identified and resubmit the request to GTE through a supplemental ASR, without penalty or charge (e.g., order modification charge) to ALLENDALE. Similarly, errors committed by GTE subsequent to the receipt of a valid ASR from ALLENDALE will be expeditiously identified and corrected by GTE without the need for ALLENDALE's submission of a supplemental ASR. GTE then will translate the ASR into a service order for provisioning and billing. In order to convert the ASR into a service order, GTE personnel must apply the necessary elements to provision the service and include the billable elements necessary for GTE to ▇▇▇▇ ALLENDALE for the services provided. This application also requires a determination of the access tandem to end office relationships with the service requested.
1.1.3 GTE's technicians also will contact ALLENDALE directly to perform testing, and upon acceptance by ALLENDALE, will make the necessary entries into the GTE system to complete the order. The completed orders then will pass to GTE's Carrier Access Billing System ("CABS") which will generate the ▇▇▇▇ to ALLENDALE.
