Description Of Change
Qwest informed WorldCom of the following ordering practices: To order 4-wire HDSL-capable loops, the LSR must populate the first of two consecutive CFAs (each CFA representing a copper pair) along with the proper NC/NCI codes to order 4-wire HDSL capable. Upon receipt, Qwest would then validate the ordered CFA plus availability of the next consecutive channel pair and populate both cable ID’s and circuit ID’s on the returned FOC. WorldCom specifically asked our Account Team what would happen if an LSR had dual CFA information populated; the response was that the order would drop out for manual handling and be rejected. Ultimately, WorldCom would like a system change that would allow the dual CFA to be populated on an LSR, and would be willing to accept the following interim solution until this CR could be implemented (next available release 9.0-4/02): Let the LSR drop out for manual handling, but instead of rejecting the order, validate the ordered CFA and the availability of the next consecutive channel pair and process the order. WCom predicts that the current loop delivery interval would be preserved with the implementation of this change.

Discussion from the September 19 CMP meeting

Liz Balvin/WorldCom — said that this CR was submitted to ask Qwest to provide dual CFA capabilities and Qwest was willing to support it. The request would have made the secondary CFA field an optional field for HDSL orders only. WorldCom has chosen to move away from this because it was specific to HDSL orders. Mike Buck/Qwest asked if anyone was interested in picking this up. Jonathan Spangler/AT&T — said that initially when WorldCom submitted this, what was the purpose of the CR? Liz Balvin/WorldCom — IMA only allowed for a single CFA field and CLECs would have to only provide the first piece and on the FOC back Qwest would response with the secondary CFA info. That was not easily trackable from WorldCom’s perspective. Mike Buck/Qwest asked again if anyone wanted to take ownership of the CR. Based on lack of response, the CR will be updated to “Withdrawn.”

CenturyLink Response

An optional field will be added to the LSR Form for a second CFA. (This is on the IMA 10.0 Candidate list)
