  8. Range #1 3600-3610 Range #2 3611-3615 TN Span FOC

  9. Disconnect of Unbundled Loop Prior to this release, IMA did not require the Loop Service form to disconnect Unbundled Loops. A valid address was required, and often failed the address validation process.

  10. Disconnect of Unbundled Loop, continued With Release 9.0, the Loop Service form will be required in order to capture the ECCKT for loops being disconnected. The address fields on the End User form will not be required or validated by the BPL for UBL disconnects only.

  11. Appointment Scheduler for Unbundled Loop IMA is adding appointment scheduling functionality for Unbundled Loops and Loop with Number Portability requests that include Coordinated Hot Cut (CHC - Y). Two new fields are added to the PreOrder GUI to accomplish this task.

  12. Appointment Scheduler TXTYP: D - Other Products U - Unbundled Products NC Code: Populate with the NC Code of the loop being ordered

  13. Error Message for Busy CFA IMA will now return different error messages for the following conditions: • A CFA is not available “Facility does not meet availability requirements”. • Data was entered incorrectly in one of the query fields “Invalid data was entered in CFA and/or ACNA fields”.

  14. LSOG 5 Address Changes IMA PreOrder and Order forms will change to reflect LSOG 5 Guidelines. Three fields are being replaced, a new field will be added, and two existing fields are being modified.

  15. PreOrder Address Validation Review CSR TN Reservation Facility Availability Raw Loop Data Loop Qualification Order End User Information Resale Private Line Directory Service Request LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued The following forms are affected with these changes:

  16. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued

  17. Existing Fields Room/Mail Stop Floor Building New Fields LD1 (Location Designation 1) LV1 (Location Value 1 ) LD2 (Location Designation 2) LV2 (Location Value 2) LD3 (Location Designation 3) LV3 (Location Value 3) LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued

  18. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued Location Designation fields contain drop down values as follows: • LD1 - APT, LOT, RM, SLIP, UNIT,SUIT • LD2 - FLR • LD3 - BLDG, WING,PIER

  19. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued Location Value (LV1, LV2, LV3) fields are then used to capture specific information related to LD1, LD2 and LD3 fields.

  20. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued A new field labeled AFT (Address Format Type) has been added with the following values as drop down choices: • <Blank> • A = Rural Route and/or Box Number • B = Unnumbered • C = Provider Assigned House Number • D = Descriptive

  21. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued The SASD and SASS fields now contain the following drop down values: <Blank> N = North S = South E = East W = West NE = Northeast NW = Northwest SE = Southeast SW = Southwest

  22. LSOG 5 Address Changes, continued The following forms will continue to use the previous naming convention of Room/Mail Stop, Floor and Building fields: • End User Information, Bill Section • Resale Private Line, Bill Section • Directory Service Request, Bill Section

  23. Loop Qualification Changes The Check Facility Availability PreOrder functionality is changing to more closely reflect LSOG 5 guidelines. The following functions are being removed from Check Facility Availability and are being combined in a new Loop Qualification option: • Unbundled ADSL Loop Qualification • Qwest DSL Resale Loop Qualification

  24. Loop Qualification Changes, continued The response to the query provides IMA users with an industry-wide, standardized version of loop qualification results. Results are returned on Loop Qualification and Loop Data tabs on the Loop Qualification Response screen.

  25. Loop Qualification Changes, continued

  26. Loop Qualification Changes, continued

  27. Convert Line Not on Account Edit This edit is being re-introduced with this release. It is designed to validate that Telephone Numbers being converted actually exist on a CSR. The edit has been modified to include TN ranges often associated with DID accounts.

  28. Vanity/Custom TN Reservation This enhancement will provide IMA users with the ability to reserve custom TNs, such as: • Consecutive Blocks • Nearby TNs • Easy Word TNs • Easy Number Category TNs

  29. Vanity/Custom TN Reservation A new tab labeled Custom TN Information is being added to the Reserve Telephone Number PreOrder function. Additionally, the Preferred NPA/NXX field is being split into separate Preferred NPA and Preferred NXX fields

  30. Vanity/Custom TN Reservation The functionality of each of the boxed fields is designed to be used independently. You can request any one of the choices, but not all at the same time.

  31. FB Directory Listings This enhancement will allow Facility Based users to perform a Listing Reconciliation query of the LSS database from IMA PreOrder in order to determine current listing information. The response returns active exact match or multiple match records.

  32. FB Directory Listings

  33. FB Directory Listings Top Half of the Listing Reconciliation Response

  34. FB Directory Listings Bottom Half of the Listing Reconciliation Response

  35. CSR Disconnect Flag IMA has added a new field on the Review CSR response labeled Account Descriptor. This field will be populated if the account is pending disconnect. Valid values for this fields are: • <Blank> • DISC

  36. CSR Disconnect Flag

  37. Edit to Prevent LSR Submission With this change, IMA will recognize embargo periods on Qwest switches. If the user requests a desired due date that falls within a scheduled embargo period, the LSR will be rejected for a later due date. This Switch Embargo edit will apply to most products and activities.

  38. Edit to Prevent LSR Submission Products excluded from this edit are: • Unbundled Loop (UL) • Unbundled Distribution Loop (UDL) • Unbundled Feeder Loop (UFL) • Loop with Number Portability • UDL with Number Portability

  39. Edit to Prevent LSR Submission LSR Activities excluded from this edit are: • D - Disconnect • R - Records • Y - Deny • B - Restore

  40. Edit to Prevent LSR Submission Permissible requests other than those previously mentioned are: • Activity - C or T, LNA - D • Activity - C, LNA - C, FA - D

  41. Supplemental Type 1 Handling The Cancellation Supplement Flow-through edit is being modified to manually handle supplements to cancel when: • ACT = N - New Installation or Account, • ACT = D - Disconnect (UBL Only), • And the AN value is a placeholder or a null value.

  42. Return Multiple ECCKTs for Shared Loop This enhancement allows FTS, Qwest’s Flow Through Server, to echo back all ECCKTs on Shared Loop request FOCs when multiple lines are involved. Manually generated FOCs will be unaffected.

  43. Parity Issues for Address Validation This enhancement adds functionality for Exact Match address validation responses. These responses will now display WTN(s), Listed Names and TN status for each WTN returned. WTN will not be displayed for non-published accounts when queried by street address.
