Signaling. Each Party will provide the other Party with access to its databases and associated signaling necessary for the routing and completion of the other Party’s traffic in accordance with the provisions contained in the Unbundled Network Element Attachment or applicable access tariff.
Signaling. 10.1 BellSouth shall offer access to signaling and access to BellSouth’s signaling databases subject to compatibility testing and at the rates set forth in this Attachment. BellSouth may provide mediated access to BellSouth signaling systems and databases. Available signaling elements include signaling links, signal transfer points and service control points. Signaling functionality will be available with both A-link and B-link connectivity.
Signaling. 37.1 The Parties will Interconnect their networks using SS7 signaling as defined in GR- 000317-CORE and GR-000394-CORE, including ISDN User Part (ISUP) for trunk signaling and Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) for CCS-based features in the Interconnection of their networks. Each Party may establish CCS interconnections either directly and/or through a Third Party. If CCS interconnection is established through a Third Party, the rates, terms, and conditions of the Parties’ respective tariffs will apply. If CCS interconnection is established directly between CLEC and SBC-13STATE, the rates, terms, and conditions of Appendix SS7 will apply.
37.2 The Parties will cooperate in the exchange of TCAP messages to facilitate full 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 own End Users. All CCS signaling parameters deployed by both Parties will be provided including CPN. All privacy indicators will be honored.
Signaling. Signaling includes, but is not limited to, signaling links and signaling transfer points.
Signaling. 5.4.1 Each Party will provide the other Party with access to its databases and associated signaling necessary for the routing and completion of the other Party’s traffic in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and any applicable Tariff.
5.4.2 Each Party shall have the capability to exchange signaling messages to facilitate full interoperability of all SS7 or other signaling features, as applicable.
5.4.3 The Parties shall cooperate fully and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain cooperation from any underlying carrier in the downstream/egress call processing in investigating any issues relating to the processing or delivery of call signaling information.
Signaling. Qwest retains its rights to charge IXCs for signaling usage (ISUP Signal Formulation, ISUP Signal Transport, and ISUP Signal Switching, as well as LIDB, ICNAM and 8XX) associated with interLATA and intraLATA Toll Calls originated by or terminated to a QLSP End User under the applicable Tariff.
Signaling. 9.1 All of the negotiated rates, terms and conditions set forth in this Section pertain to the provision of Signaling Transport Services.
9.2 BellSouth agrees to offer access to signaling and access to BellSouth’s signaling databases subject to compatibility testing and at the rates set forth in this Attachment. BellSouth may provide mediated access to BellSouth signaling systems and databases. Available signaling elements include signaling links, signal transfer points and service control points. Signaling functionality will be available with both A-link and B-link connectivity.
Signaling. To the extent that networks involved in transit traffic deliver calls with CCIS and the appropriate Transactional Capabilities Application Part (“TCAP”) message, CBT will deliver such information to the terminating third-party LEC or CMRS provider. In all cases, CLEC is responsible to follow the EMR standard and exchange records with both CBT and the terminating LEC or CMRS provider to facilitate the billing process to the originating network.
Signaling. Signaling Interconnection may be used for signaling between Requesting Carrier switches, between Requesting Carrier switches and Ameritech switches, and between Requesting Carrier switches and those third party networks with which Ameritech’s SS7 network is interconnected.
4.5.1 Where available, Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) signaling shall be used by the Parties to set up calls between the Parties' Telephone Exchange Service networks. Each Party shall supply Calling Party Number (CPN) within the SS7 signaling message, if available. If CCIS is unavailable, MF (Multi-Frequency) signaling shall be used by the Parties. Each Party shall charge the other Party equal and reciprocal rates for CCIS signaling at the rates set forth at Item V of the Pricing Schedule.
4.5.2 Each Party is responsible for requesting Interconnection to the other Party’s CCIS network, where SS7 signaling on the trunk group(s) is desired. Each Party shall connect to a pair of access STPs that serve each LATA where traffic will be exchanged or shall arrange for signaling connectivity through a third party provider which is connected to the other Party’s signaling network. The Parties shall establish Interconnection at the STP.
4.5.3 The Parties will cooperate on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages to facilitate interoperability of CCIS-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 CCIS signaling parameters will be provided including Calling Party Number (CPN), Originating Line Information (OLI), calling party category and charge number. For terminating exchange access, such information shall be passed by a Party to the extent that such information is provided to such Party.
4.5.4 Where available and upon the request of the other Party, each Party shall cooperate to ensure that its trunk groups are configured utilizing the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear channel transmission to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties’ respective networks.
