VALID ENTRIES:
1st Position (Elements to be ordered by this request)
A = Entrance Facility (EF)
B = Trunks, Tandem-Switched Transport and EF
C = Trunks and Tandem-Switched Transport
D = Lines/Trunks, Direct-Trunked Transport and EF to End Office
E = Lines/Trunks and Direct-Trunked Transport to End Office
F = Lines/Trunks
G = Direct-Trunked Transport and EF to End Office or Hub
H = Direct-Trunked Transport to End Office or Hub
I = Tandem-Switched Transport and EF
J = Direct-Trunked Transport to Access Tandem
K = Direct-Trunked Transport and EF to Access Tandem
L = Trunks and Direct-Trunked Transport to Access Tandem
M = Trunks, Direct-Trunked Transport and EF to Access Tandem
N = LTP not applicable
P = Links, Direct-Link Transport and EF to STP
Q = Direct-Link Transport and Links to STP
R = Links
2nd Position (Identifies if element uses special access facility)
A = EF rides special access facility
B = Direct-Trunked Transport rides special access facility
C = Direct-Trunked Transport and EF ride special access facility
D = Tandem-Switched Transport rides special access facility
E = Tandem-Switched Transport and EF ride special access facility
F = No special access
3rd Position (Level of EF)
0 = Voice grade capacity for the EF
1 = DS1 capacity for the EF
3 = DS3 capacity for the EF
4th Position (Level of Transport)
0 = Voice grade capacity for transport
1 = DS1 capacity for transport
3 = DS3 capacity for transport
NOTE 1: When ordering local transport to an access tandem, the direct-trunked transport valid entries should be used for flat-rated service. Tandem-switched transport valid entries should be used for usage-rated service.
NOTE 2: When the first position is "A", the fourth position is prohibited.
NOTE 3: When the first position is "C" or "E" and EF is being ordered separately, RPON is required.
NOTE 4: When the first position is "N", the second, third and fourth positions are prohibited.
NOTE 5: When the first position is "B" or "C", the use of the fourth position may be prohibited based on provider tariffs/practices.
NOTE 6: Use of the third and fourth positions of this field is based on customer practices.
NOTE 7: When the first position of the REQTYP field is “L”, use of “B”, “C”, “D” or “E” in the second position is prohibited.
USAGE: This field is conditional.
NOTE 1: Required when the first position of the REQTYP field is "M" or "A" and the ACT field is "N", "C" or "D".
NOTE 2: Required for switched access facilities when the ACT field is "N", "C" or "D".
NOTE 3: Optional when the first position of the REQTYP field is "L" and the ACT field is "N", "C" or "D".
NOTE 4: Otherwise prohibited.
