MUXLOC - Multiplexing Location

Identifies the CLLI Code of the provider location where the service being requested connects with the multiplexer associated with the Connecting Facility Assignment (CFA).

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: MUXLOC is associated with the CFA (PRILOC), which is one level above the service being ordered. Please refer to ASOG Practice 000, Thru-Connect and Cascading Multiplexing Section for additional details.

NOTE 4: If more than one circuit is being ordered, the location defined within the first 8 characters of the MUXLOC CLLI populated in this field must apply to all circuits being ordered and it must be associated to every CFA (PRILOC)/CFA on the request.

USAGE: This field is conditional.

NOTE 1: Prohibited when the CFA (PRILOC) field is not populated or when the ACT field on the ASR Form is “D”.

NOTE 2: Required when utilizing multiplexing services, the CFAU (PRILOC) is blank and the ACT field on the ASR Form is “N”, “C” or “T”.

NOTE 3: Otherwise optional.
