Identifies physical drop ports and/or equipment at the entry point of the provider’s network when the customer has assignment control. The DPEAZ identification consists of the following elements:
1. CLLI - Identifies the location assigned according to the code set found in Bellcore Practice BR 795-100-100 (8 or 11 alpha/numeric characters).
2. NODE - Identifies a location at which there are one or more Interconnected Synchronous Digital Equipment(s) controlled by single BITS clock (2 alpha/numeric characters).
3. RELAY RACK - Identifies the floor, lineup, and bay location of the equipment in a building. The format is FFLLLL.BBB; where “FF” is a 2 character floor ID, “LLLL” is a 4 character lineup, “.” is a delimiter, and “BBB” is a 3 character bay ID, as outlined in Bellcore Practice BR 795-100-785 (10 alpha/numeric characters).
4. CLEI - Identifies the standard representations of equipment in a uniform, concise function oriented format, as defined in Bellcore Practice BR 795-200-000 (10 alpha/numeric characters).
5. Complement Number One (1) - Identifies a starting number assignment of the equipment sequence (Variable length, 1-6 alpha/numeric characters).
6. Delimiter - A hyphen will be used to separate Complement Number One (1) and Complement Number Two (2) when assignments are ranged (1 alpha/numeric character).
7. Complement Number Two (2) - Identifies the ending number assignment of equipment sequence, when sequential assignments are being made (variable length 1-6 alpha/numeric characters).
NOTE 1: Virgules (/) are used as delimiters to separate all elements of the DPEAZ, except ranging of assignments which utilize a hyphen between Complement Number One (1) and Complement Number Two (2).
NOTE 2: The DPEAZ data will have been previously designated by the provider and must be provided when the customer has assignment control.
NOTE 3: All element entries of the DPEAZ are left justified with no trailing spaces.
NOTE 4: When a complement of DPEAZ is purposely omitted, the component should still be delimited and compressed to eliminate any spaces.
USAGE: This field is optional.
