SS7 Signaling Clause Samples

The SS7 Signaling clause defines the requirements and standards for the use of Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) in telecommunications services provided under the agreement. It typically specifies that both parties must ensure their networks are compatible with SS7 protocols for call setup, routing, and management, and may outline responsibilities for maintaining signaling integrity and interoperability. This clause ensures seamless and reliable communication between interconnected networks, minimizing technical issues and service disruptions related to signaling incompatibility.

SS7 Signaling. Except as otherwise provided herein, if SS7 signaling is provided by Telco, it will be provided in accordance with Appendix – SS7 (Wireless). Appendix – SS7 (Wireless) describes various SS7 elements available for Carrier to purchase from Telco, including elements required to exchange ISUP SS7 Signaling Messages(s) (as defined in Telcordia Document GR-246-CORE) associated with Local Calls. 3.2.1 If the Parties exchange ISUP SS7 Signaling Messages associated with Local Calls (hereafter referred to as “Local ISUP SS7 Signaling Messages") and Carrier does not own a substantially similar SS7 network to Telco's SS7 network that Carrier uses for such exchange, then Carrier shall pay Telco in accordance with Appendix – SS7 (Wireless) for Local ISUP SS7 Signaling Messages originated from Carrier's network and initiated with an IAM message. If the Parties exchange Local ISUP SS7 Signaling Messages and Carrier owns a substantially similar SS7 network to Telco's SS7 network that Carrier uses for such exchange, then the Parties will employ a bill and keep arrangement for the exchange of such Local ISUP SS7 Signaling Message(s). A "substantially similar SS7 network" means an SS7 network as generally recognized in the telecommunications industry, including, without limitation, signaling links, STPs, and signaling (originating and destination) points, all of which are combined to form a “signaling network” utilized to transfer signaling messages between a Party's switches and the switches of the other Party and one or more third parties. Signaling messages delivered to Telco from Carrier must be associated with Authorized Services traffic originating on Carrier's network. All other SS7 signaling messages and elements will be offered to Carrier at rates described in Appendix - SS7 (Wireless). SS7 signaling associated with InterMTA Traffic will be determined using the same process described in Section 11.3 of this Agreement for determining the amount on InterMTA Traffic; such signaling shall be paid to Telco at SS7 rates listed in Telco’s State access tariffs. 3.2.2 Parties will cooperate on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part ("TCAP") messages to facilitate interoperability of Common Channel Signaling-based features between their respective networks, including all intraLATA CLASS Features and functions, to the extent each Party offers such features and functions to its Customers. All Common Channel Signaling parameters will be provided including, wi...

SS7 Signaling. In order to track and monitor the traffic that is being exchanged at the POI both Parties agree to utilize SS7 Common Channel Signaling between their respective networks for the traffic addressed in this Agreement. Both Parties will provide CCS connectivity in accordance with accepted industry practice and standard technical specifications. To the extent supported by a Party, for all traffic delivered to the POI, the Parties agree to exchange all appropriate unaltered CCS messages for call set-up, including without limitation ISDN User Part ("ISUP") and Transaction Capability User Part (“TCAP") messages to facilitate interoperability of CCS based features and functions between their respective networks, including CLASS features and functions. All CCS signaling parameters, including, but not limited to, the Jurisdictional Indicator Parameter (“JIP”) and the originating End User telephone number, will be provided by each Party in conjunction with all traffic it delivers to the POI.

SS7 Signaling. Both Parties will utilize LEC-to-LEC SS7 Signaling, where available, in conjunction with all traffic in order to enable interoperability of CLASS features and functions except for call return. SS7 signaling parameters will be provided, including but not limited to ANI, originating line information (OLI) calling company category and charge number. Privacy indicators will be honored, and the Parties will exchange Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages to facilitate SS7 based features between the respective networks. Neither Party shall alter the SS7 parameters, or be a party to altering such parameters, or knowingly pass SS7 parameters that have been altered in order to circumvent appropriate interconnection charges. Nothing herein shall obligate or otherwise require BellSouth to send SS7 messages or call-related database queries to ComSouth’s or any other third party’s call-related database, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties under a separate agreement.

All Common Channel Signaling parameters will be provided including, without limitation, calling party number ("CPN"), originating line information ("OLI"), calling party category and charge number.

SS7 Signaling. Where available, the Parties will use Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) to set up calls between the Parties’ Telephone Exchange Service networks. Each Party shall provide Calling Party Number (CPN) within the SS7 signaling message, if available. If CCIS in unavailable, Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling shall be used by the Parties. Each Party shall charge the other Party rates for CCIS signaling at the rates set forth in their respective tariffs. 6.5.1 Each Party is responsible for requesting Interconnection to the other Party’s CCIS network, where SS7 signaling on the trunk group(s) is desired. Each Party shall connect to a pair of access STPs that serve each LATA where traffic will be exchanged or shall arrange for signaling connectivity through a third party provider which is connected to the other Party’s signaling network. The Parties shall establish interconnection at the STP. 6.5.2 The Parties will cooperate on the exchange of Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages to facilitate interoperability of CCIS- based features between the respective networks, including all CLASS features and functions, to the extent each Party offers such features and functions to its customers. All CCIS parameters will be provided including CPN, Originating Line Information (OLI), calling party category and charge number. 6.5.3 Where available, and upon mutual agreement, each Party shall cooperate to ensure that its trunk groups are configured using the B8ZS ESF protocol for 64 kbps clear channel transmission to allow for ISDN interoperability between the Parties’ respective networks. 6.5.4 For billing purposes, each Party shall pass Calling Party Number (CPN) on each call that it originates over the Local/IntraLATA Trunks; provided that all calls exchanged without CPN information shall be billed as either Local Traffic or IntraLATA Toll Traffic based upon a percentage of local usage (PLU) factor calculated based on the amount of actual volume during the preceding three (3) months. The PLU will be reevaluated every three (3) months. If either Party fails to pass at least ninety percent (90%) of calls with CPN that it originates within a consecutive two (2) month billing period, then either Party may require that separate trunks groups for Local Traffic and IntraLATA Toll Traffic be established. If both Parties participate in an IntraLATA Toll settlement arrangement, this Section 6.5.4 shall not apply, except that if either Party fails to pass CP...

All SS7 signaling parameters will be provided, including but not limited to automatic number identification (ANI), originating line information (OLI) calling company category and charge number. All privacy indicators will be honored, and the Parties will exchange Transactional Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) messages to facilitate full interoperability of SS7-based features between the respective networks.
