A brief summary of the format can be found in ATIS-0404000 Section 2.14.7.
VALID ENTRIES:
NCI Code
NOTE 1: Valid NCI codes are outlined in Telcordia Technologies.
USAGE: This field is conditional.
NOTE 1: Required for two point service when the ACT field on the ASR Form is "N", "C", or "T".
NOTE 2: Optional for Hi-Cap facilities when the multiplexing is provided.
NOTE 3: Prohibited for multipoint services.
NOTE 4: Otherwise optional.
DATA CHARACTERISTICS: 5 alpha/numeric characters minimum, 12 alpha/numeric characters maximum
EXAMPLES: 0 4 D S2 . . A Z
NOTE 1: This example indicates no protocol options with transmission levels specified.
0 4 D S 9 . 1 5 K . A Z
NOTE 2: If the protocol option field is not coded and the TLP is coded, a double delimiter #1 and #2 will be placed after character position five (5). In this case, delimiter #1 will be in character position six (6), and delimiter #2 will be in character position seven (7). The TLP will be left justified into character positions eight (8) and nine (9) accordingly.
