Common use of Signaling Requirements Clause in Contracts

Signaling Requirements. 3.1 Signaling Parameters. Windstream and Alliance Connect are required to provide each other the proper signaling information as required by Applicable Law and further clarified by the FCC Order to enable each Party to issue bills in a complete and timely fashion. All CCS signaling parameters will be provided unchanged including CPN, calling party category, ChN (Charge Number) and Originating Line Information Parameter (OLIP) on all calls. All privacy indicators will be honored. The ChN is to be passed unaltered in SS7 signaling fields where it is different than CPN; ChN must not be populated with a number associated with an intermediate switch, platform, or gateway, or other number that designates anything other than a calling party’s charge number; and if MF signaling is used by Alliance Connect then the ChN must be included in the ANI field if different from the CPN. Where SS7 connections exist, each Party shall pass all CCS signaling parameters, where available, on each call carried over interconnection trunks. If either Party fails to provide valid originating information, such traffic will be billed as Intrastate Switched Access when the calls traverse an interconnection trunk. The Parties will coordinate and exchange data as necessary to determine the cause of the CPN/ChN failure to assist its correction. 3.2 Where available each Party shall cooperate to ensure that all of 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. 3.3 The Parties shall jointly develop a grooming plan (the "Joint Grooming Plan") which shall define and detail, inter alia, 3.3.1 disaster recovery provisions and escalations; 3.3.2 direct/high usage trunk engineering guidelines; and 3.3.3 such other matters as the Parties may agree. 3.4 If a Party makes a change in its network, which it believes will materially affect the interoperability of its network with the other Party, the Party making the change shall provide thirty (30) days advance written notice of such change to the other Party.
