Common use of Type 2A Interconnection Clause in Contracts

Type 2A Interconnection. A Type 2A Interconnection is a trunk-side connection to a CenturyLink Tandem Switch that uses SS7 signaling and supervision. A Type 2A Interconnection provides access to the valid NXX codes served by End Offices and Remote Switches subtending the Tandem Switch. A Type 2A Interconnection cannot be used to reach 911/E911. A Type 2A Interconnection can be used to exchange Jointly Provided Switched Access Service Traffic using separate trunk groups. This Interconnection type typically requires that Carrier establish its own dedicated NXX. In instances where number pooling or 1000 block pooling is in effect, less than a full NXX may be provided over this Interconnection to the extent that the Parties possess the requisite network architecture to support the Interconnection a. Subject to POI Section 55.3, Interconnection to a CenturyLink Tandem Switch will provide Carrier Interconnection for Local Traffic, Transit Traffic, InterMTA Traffic and Jointly Provided Switched Access Service Traffic to the CenturyLink End Offices, Remote Switches and NXXs which subtend that Tandem Switch. b. In accordance with Transit Traffic Section 58, Interconnection to a CenturyLink Tandem for Transit Traffic purposes will provide access to other Telecommunications Carriers which are connected to that same Tandem Switch. c. Carrier is responsible for provisioning its Interconnection Facilities to interface into CenturyLink's Tandem at the DS1 level, including switch port and any muxing necessary for such purposes. If Carrier orders Local Interconnection Entrance Facility, Direct Trunked Transport, and/or multiplexing for this, the rates from Table 1 shall apply. If Carrier orders CenturyLink’s Access Services for this, the Carrier shall pay based on CenturyLink’s applicable access Tariff instead of Table 1.
