STP Access Connection. The STP Access Connection provides a 1.544 megabit per second digital facility when required to connect from the carrier’s designated point of presence to the STP Access Link. AWS shall provide the portion of the signaling link from the AWS premises within the LATA to the Telco STP location using a STP Access Link. AWS shall notify Telco that the facility contains a signaling link service. Multiple facilities provided by Telco will be identified so that Telco may maintain facility diversity between links and linksets that require diversity. AWS shall identify the DS1 or channel of a DS1 that will be used for the signaling link. AWS shall identify to Telco the facility and channel to which the SS7 Link Cross Connect shall connect. If the facility does not terminate in the STP location Telco shall provide a STP Access Link. The STP Access Link will connect to the DS-0A Cross Connect at the STP location. When AWS uses an alternative DS1 facility or arranges, or agrees to allow, a physical degree of diversity or performance that is not in accordance with the specifications of Bellcore, GR-905-CORE, AWS acknowledges that the performance and reliability of the SS7 protocol may be affected and the performance and reliability standards described in GR-905-CORE may be disqualified. Dedicated Signaling Links are subject to Telco compatibility testing and certification requirements per the Network Operations Forum Reference Document, per Bellcore, GR- 905-CORE and per Telco Technical Publication, AIT-TR-OAT-000069. First interconnections to the Telco signaling network per AWS and per signaling point type of equipment will require pre-ordering meetings to exchange information and schedule testing for certification by Telco.
