Introduction<br />
Standalone Solution Process Flow<br />
The following <strong>ezAccess</strong> process takes place in a standalone environment:<br />
1. A customer contacts a CLEC and requests phone service requiring an ASR order.<br />
2. The CLEC, through <strong>the</strong> <strong>ezAccess</strong> GUI, enters and stores <strong>the</strong> order data in <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>ezAccess</strong> database.<br />
3. When <strong>the</strong> order is completed and you press <strong>the</strong> Validate or Validate and Send<br />
button, <strong>the</strong> validation server validates <strong>the</strong> order content and <strong>the</strong>n saves <strong>the</strong> order<br />
or sends it to <strong>the</strong> <strong>ezAccess</strong> gateway.<br />
4. After <strong>the</strong> order reaches <strong>the</strong> gateway, <strong>the</strong> security agent verifies user IDs, and <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>ezAccess</strong> Gateway collects <strong>the</strong> order and translates it to a universal format. The<br />
gateway <strong>the</strong>n sends <strong>the</strong> order, usually through <strong>the</strong> network data mover (NDM),<br />
to <strong>the</strong> trading partner. The transmission schedule is defined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>ezAccess</strong><br />
system administrator.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> trading partner is Verizon West 1 , <strong>the</strong> gateway exchanges batch files with <strong>the</strong> service<br />
center using passive file transfer protocol (PFTP) instead of NDM.<br />
1.Verizon West was formally known as GTE.<br />
5. The trading partner obtains <strong>the</strong> request and verifies that <strong>the</strong> service can be<br />
provided by sending a response (an acknowledgement, confirmation, or error<br />
notification) to <strong>the</strong> gateway. In turn, <strong>the</strong> gateway displays <strong>the</strong> response in <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>ezAccess</strong> standalone interface.<br />
If <strong>the</strong>re are errors, <strong>the</strong> CLEC receives <strong>the</strong> notification through <strong>the</strong> <strong>ezAccess</strong><br />
Administration interface. Correct <strong>the</strong> error in <strong>ezAccess</strong> and re-send <strong>the</strong> order to<br />
<strong>the</strong> trading partner.<br />
6. When <strong>the</strong>re are no errors, <strong>the</strong> service is confirmed when <strong>the</strong> trading partner sends<br />
an acceptance response to <strong>the</strong> CLEC.<br />
The trading partner can also send an ASR order to <strong>the</strong> CLEC using <strong>the</strong> standalone solution<br />
process.<br />
