Identifies the CLLI Code of the customer facility terminal location. The CLLI Code will have been previously assigned.
NOTE 1: The format and structure of this field is defined in the ANSI approved standard, ATIS-0300253, identification of Location Entities for Information Exchange. The CLLI Code consists of the following elements:
1. Geographical Code – Positions 1 through 4 describe the designation
for a single geographical locality within a state, province, territory,
country, or distinct region of the world (e.g., municipality) (4 alpha
characters).
2. Geopolitical Code – Positions 5 and 6 describe the designation of a
state or territory of the United States, a province or territory of Canada,
another country having a national federal government, or a unique designation
(2 alpha characters).
3. Network Site Code – Positions 7 and 8 describe the designation of a
site of an existing or proposed structure within a geographical location
where there is a need to identify one or more telecommunications equipment
entities, facility terminations, nodal locations, or administrative operations
(2 alpha or 2 numeric characters).
4. Network Entity Code – Positions 9 through 11 describe the functional
category of equipment or work center that is contained in
a structure. Equipment categories, including central office switching
and ancillary equipment or non-switching or access terminations, are associated
with a building or network site for purposes of maintaining equipment
inventories and for identifying facility and circuit terminations and
nodal locations (3 alpha/numeric characters).
NOTE 2: Valid CLLI Codes are outlined in Telcordia Technologies practice BR 795-(100-186)-100.
NOTE 3: Use of assigned CLLI Codes may be negotiated.
NOTE 4: This field will carry the CLLI Code assigned for the location. The precise usage of the field by a provider will result from negotiation between the provider and the customer.
NOTE 5: On an Access Service Request for a WAL, the customer may indicate the ACTL from which or to which the WAL traffic originates or terminates.
NOTE 6: The ACTL code is an 11 character CLLI Code designed for the identification of location entities for all services. The first 8 characters may represent a building location. The 9th, 10th and 11th characters identify a specific customer, and, in addition, may also represent a specific type of service.
NOTE 7: The APOT field is required if the ACTL does not identify the specific physical termination point of the access service.
NOTE 8: In a customer leasing arrangement, this field will be populated with the facility ACTL (e.g., 9th, 10th 11th characters are “WXX” or “HXX” of the facility owner’s point of presence [POP]).
NOTE 9: Multiple customers may utilize the same ACTL. In some cases, providers maintain the same ACTL CLLI Code in this situation, and in other cases, providers may assign different CLLI Codes (9, 10 and 11th characters) for each customer. This would include access service requested between the terminals of two different customers.
NOTE 10: For those companies that do not rebundle unbundled trunking and transport, the ACTL and SECLOC must represent the same physical location.
USAGE: This field is conditional.
NOTE 1: Prohibited when the EVCI or PVCI field is “A”.
NOTE 2: Prohibited when the first position of the REQTYP field is “E” or “X”.
NOTE 3: Prohibited when the PRILOC field on the RING Form is populated.
NOTE 4: Prohibited when the PSLI field is “A”.
NOTE 5: Prohibited when the first position of the REQTYP field is “P”, PVCI field is “B” or blank and the EU field is “Y”.
NOTE 6: Prohibited when the first position of the REQTYP field is “D” and the EU field is “Y”.
NOTE 7: Optional when the second position of the TQ field is “N” or “X”.
NOTE 8: Optional when the first position of the REQTYP field is “W” and the BAN field is not “N”.
NOTE 9: Otherwise required.
