1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the
customer premises.
2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated.
3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch.
4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)door"
porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the
switch).
2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, nondesigned
Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in
these cases.
2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from TC SYSTEMS, and if
agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC)
process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. TC
SYSTEMS will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the
Loop.
2.7 Network Interface Device
2.7.1 The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of the end user’s customer
premises wiring to BellSouth’s distribution plant, such as a cross connect device
used for that purpose. The NID is a termination device required to terminate one
or more lines or circuits at the premises. The NID features two independent
chambers or divisions that separate the service provider’s network from the end
user’s customer premises wiring. Each chamber or division contains the
appropriate connection points or posts to which the service provider and the end
user each make their connections. The NID provides a protective ground
connection and is capable of terminating cables such as twisted pair cable.
2.7.2 BellSouth shall permit TC SYSTEMS to connect TC SYSTEMS’s Loop facilities
to the end user’s customer premises wiring through the BellSouth NID or at any
other technically feasible point.
2.7.3 Access to NID
2.7.3.1 TC SYSTEMS may access the end user’s customer premises wiring by any of the
following means and TC SYSTEMS shall not disturb the existing form of electrical
protection and shall maintain the physical integrity of the NID:
2.7.3.1.1 BellSouth shall allow TC SYSTEMS to connect its Loops directly to BellSouth’s
multi-line residential NID enclosures that have additional space and are not
currently being used by BellSouth or any other telecommunications carriers to
provide service to the premises.
