Common use of Loop Testing Clause in Contracts

Loop Testing. At CLEC’s request, and if Technically Feasible, Brightspeed will test and report trouble on conditioned loops for all of the line’s features, functions, and capabilities, and will not restrict its testing to voice-transmission only. To the extent CLEC requests testing that would require Brightspeed to purchase new equipment, establish new procedures, or make systems modifications, CLEC will compensate Brightspeed for costs incurred to provide such testing. Request for additional testing must be submitted pursuant to the BFR Process in Article IV. 66.2.1 CLEC agrees to follow the process and procedures for reporting and resolving circuit trouble or repairs as set forth in this Agreement. Before contacting Brightspeed’s Trouble Maintenance Center (CTMC), CLEC must first conduct trouble isolation to ensure that the trouble does not originate from CLEC’s own equipment or network or the equipment of CLEC’s customer. 66.2.2 Testing shall include Basic Testing, Optional Cooperative Testing and Joint Testing. Optional Cooperative Testing and Joint Testing are performed only at CLEC’s request and at CLEC’s cost. 66.2.3 Basic Testing shall include simple metallic measurements only. Basic Testing does not include cooperative or joint testing efforts that require Brightspeed’s technician to work jointly with CLEC. 66.2.4 Cooperative Testing is provided on Service Order activity only and will be provided by Brightspeed at CLEC’s expense. Loops involving multiplexing, and IDSL Loops or Subloops that are provisioned through repeaters or digital loop carriers, prohibit the reading of a short or open circuit. 66.2.5 Joint Testing is provided at CLEC’s request on maintenance activity only and will be provided by Brightspeed at CLEC’s expense. Loops involving multiplexing, and IDSL Loops or Subloops that are provisioned through repeaters or digital loop carriers, prohibit the reading of a short or open circuit. 66.2.6 For either Cooperative Testing or Joint Testing, Brightspeed technicians will try to contact CLEC’s representative to initiate Joint Testing after completing the requested activity. If CLEC does not respond within three (3) minutes, Brightspeed may, in its sole discretion, continue its attempts to contact CLEC’s representative, and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in increments of fifteen (15) minutes for the technician’s time for so long as such efforts continue, or Brightspeed may abandon the test and CLEC will be charged for the test and any additional technician time involved (beyond the initial 3 minutes) at the rates set forth in Table 1. 66.2.7 Brightspeed will charge CLEC at the rates set forth on Table 1, when the location of the trouble on a CLEC-reported ticket is determined to be in CLEC’s network or on the CLEC End User’s side of the Demarcation Point.
