Common use of Signaling Requirements Clause in Contracts

Signaling Requirements. 3.1 Signaling Parameters. Windstream and Service Electric are required to provide each other the proper signaling information as required by Applicable Law and further clarified by FCC Order (FCC 11-161) 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 and ChN (Charge Number) 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 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, including CLASS features and functions to the extent each Party offers such features and functions to its end users. If either Party fails to provide valid originating information, such traffic without the valid originating information will be billed by the terminating Party as Intrastate Switched Access when the calls traverse an interconnection trunk. Notwithstanding the preceding, if five percent (5%) or less of the traffic originated by a Party fails to include the proper signaling information as defined herein, such traffic will be treated by the terminating Party as having the same jurisdictional ratio as the traffic that includes the proper signaling information. The Parties will coordinate and exchange data as necessary to determine the cause of the CPN/ChN failure if/when the amount of traffic does not include the proper signaling information exceeds five percent (5%) and assist in its correction. In the event that technical malfunctions result in lack of transmission of CPN/ChN, the Parties will cooperate in attempting to resolve such technical malfunctions and the Parties will develop and utilize mutually agreeable surrogate methods for determining compensation that shall be utilized until the technical malfunctions are resolved.

The Parties will coordinate and exchange data as necessary to determine the cause of the CPN/ChN failure ifto 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/when high usage trunk engineering guidelines; and 3.3.3 such other matters as the amount of traffic does not include the proper signaling information exceeds five percent (5%) and assist Parties may agree. 3.4 If a Party makes a change in its correction. In network, which it believes will materially affect the event that technical malfunctions result in lack interoperability of transmission of CPN/ChNits network with the other Party, the Parties will cooperate in attempting Party making the change shall provide thirty (30) days advance written notice of such change to resolve such technical malfunctions and the Parties will develop and utilize mutually agreeable surrogate methods for determining compensation that shall be utilized until the technical malfunctions are resolvedother Party.
