Common use of Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC Clause in Contracts

Loop Provisioning Involving IDLC. 2.6.1 Where AIN/Birch has requested an Unbundled Loop and AT&T uses IDLC systems toprovide the local service to the customer and AT&T has a suitable alternate facility available, AT&T will make such alternative facilities available to AIN/Birch. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, AT&T will implementone of the following alternative arrangements for AIN/Birch (e.g., hairpinning): 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). Page 8805 of 338961 5. If IDLC system is not served by a switch capable of side-door functionality, AT&T will move the IDLC system to switch equipment that is side-door capable if technically feasible and subject to the Special Construction process and AIN/Birchagrees to pay Special Construction charges. 6. Install and activate newDLC facilities and then move the IDLC to the new facilities, if technically feasible and subject to the Special Constructoi n process and AIN/▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay Special Construction charges. 7. Convert IDLC to UDC if technically feasible and subject to the Special Construction process and AIN/▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay Special Construction charges. 2.6.2 Arrangements 3, 4 and 5 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non-designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND (requires copper only loop) may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.2.1 If no alternate facility is available,and upon request fromAIN/Birch, and if agreed to by both Parties, AT&Tmay utilize its SC process to determine the additionalcosts required toprovision facilities. AIN/▇▇▇▇▇ will then have the option of paying the one-timeSC rates toplace the Loop.
