testing procedures up to the termination blocks on the MDF where the TC SYSTEMS
wiring terminates. The right to engage in such testing shall extend to the entire existing
BellSouth CO facility inventory of TC SYSTEMS intra-office wiring. This testing
shall be performed by an TC SYSTEMS technician, or by a BellSouth Certified
Vendor. The verification and testing process may occur at any time after the delivery
of the TC SYSTEMS collocation space.
5.12.1.1 The testing procedures to be performed by the TC SYSTEMS Technician or TC
SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier shall include verification and testing of all
power feeds associated with the intra-office wiring for the purpose of determining
BDFB power feed assignments, BDFB relay rack number, BDFB panel, fuse #,
drain/load (amps), and fuse size (amps). Whenever TC SYSTEMS is responsible for
either the installation, testing and/or maintenance of any power feeds that directly
connects the TC SYSTEMS collocation space to the BellSouth BDFB, these testing
procedures will include verification and testing of all power feeds associated with the
intra-office wiring for the purpose of determining BDFB power feed assignments,
BDFB relay rack number, BDFB panel, fuse #, drain/load (amps), and fuse size
(amps). This testing shall be performed by an TC SYSTEMS Technician, or by a
BellSouth Certified Supplier. The verification and testing process may occur at any
time after the delivery of the TC SYSTEMS collocation space.
5.12.1.2 The TC SYSTEMS Technician or TC SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier will
prepare a Method of Procedure (“MOP”) per TR73503 and coordinate with the local
BellSouth Network Operations for the BellSouth Premises to obtain access to the
front of the BellSouth Common BDFB serving TC SYSTEMS’s Collocation Space.
TC SYSTEMS’s Technician or its BellSouth Certified Supplier may operate the meter
on the front of the BDFB to verify that the BDFB load(s) are within the engineered
maximum load of 80% of the serving circuit breaker size (generally 180 Amps for a
225 Amp breaker). If TC SYSTEMS’s Technician or TC SYSTEMS’s BellSouth
Certified Supplier discovers a load in excess of 67% of the serving circuit breaker size
(generally 150 Amps for a 225 Amp breaker), TC SYSTEMS agrees to notify
BellSouth. Notification may be directed to the local BellSouth Network Operations
for the BellSouth Premises, as well as to the BellSouth Account Representative
assigned to TC SYSTEMS, via e-mail. TC SYSTEMS’s Technician or TC
SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier will not attempt to verify the BDFB meter
reading via any other means, such as the use of a clamp-on ammeter. TC SYSTEMS’s
Technician or TC SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier is not permitted to verify
rectifier capacity, battery reserve, circuit breaker sizes, etc., that would require access
to BellSouth’s main power room.
5.12.2 TC SYSTEMS shall have access to the demarcation point and all equipment and
facilities on its side of the demarcation point. TC SYSTEMS shall not have access to
BellSouth’s side of the demarcation point. When troubles cannot be clearly isolated to
BellSouth’s facilities and equipment, BellSouth will agree to test cooperatively with
TC SYSTEMS to assist in trouble isolation to a specific Party’s facilities and
equipment as set forth in Section 2.3.13 of BellSouth’s FCC Tariff No. 1. If TC
