2.2.1 SCOPE
A. APPLICABILITY
A local channel service may (1) permit the transmission of
communications within a LATA between a Customer's premises and an
AT&T Central Office, or between Customer premises or (2) consist
solely of an access coordination function(s) when the Customer
elects to provide channels equivalent to those offered herein.
All local channel services are provided on monthly basis.
AT&T does not transmit messages. However, the channels it
furnishes may be used for that purpose.
B. FACILITIES OF OTHER COMPANIES
1. Special Construction
Certain services offered in this schedule are subject to the
availability of suitable facilities from the Local Exchange
Company. In some instances in order to provide a service in
response to a Customer's order, this Company may incur charges
and/or liabilities in the Local Exchange Company's special
construction tariff schedule. If that occurs, service is
furnished on the basis that the Customer agrees to assume such
charges and/or liabilities if they order the installation to
be made after being advised that special construction will be
involved. In addition, this schedule sets forth the
regulations under which the Company anticipates to be able to
provide a service(s) which requires facilities from the Local
Exchange Company. However, such service(s) will not be
provided if facilities can not be obtained from a Local
Exchange Company because a condition over which a Customer has
control (e.g. hazardous locations, etc.) violates a regulation
in the Local Exchange Company's Access Tariff.

2. GENERAL REGULATIONS
2.4 PAYMENTS AND CHARGES
2.4.1 GENERAL
The charge for a local channel service may be a recurring and/or
a nonrecurring charge.
2.4.2 APPLICATION OF CHARGES
The charges billed are based on the rates that are in effect in
this tariff during the period that the local channel service is
furnished. If the rates for a period covered by a bill change
after the bill has been rendered, the bill will be adjusted to
reflect the new charges (see Fractional Charges and Credits,
2.4.7 following).
A. RATE SCHEDULES
The rate schedules in this tariff are listed by LATA numbers
specified under the LEC heading. Up to two rate schedules may be
shown for a LATA (see Note 1). The rate schedules will be
designated as Rate Schedule 1 and Rate Schedule 2. Rate Schedule
1 will be identified as being applicable to a given LEC(s). Rate
Schedule 2 will be applicable to all other LECs in the LATA and
would be so identified (e.g., "Other than Mountain Bell"). When
rates are listed in this manner, the rate schedule to be used:
- for a given Local Channel, Bridged Channel or Inter-Bridged
Channel (including any channel options, miscellaneous
functions, miscellaneous equipment, or special access
surcharges associated with such channels) is determined by the
LEC which serves the serving wire center of the Customer
premises involved (including any terminations in LEC central
offices).
If the serving wire center(s) of the AT&T central office, or the
Customer premises is located in the territory of the named LEC(s),
Rate Schedule 1 will apply to all components of the channel.
However, if the serving wire center of the AT&T central office, or
of any Customer premises, is outside the territory of the named
LEC(s), Rate Schedule 2 will apply to all components of the
channel.
If there is no Rate Schedule 2 listed for a LATA, rates will be
filed on an individual case basis when demand materializes.

2.4.3 PAYMENT OF CHARGES
Payment is due upon presentation of a bill for the local channel
service furnished. A local channel service may be discontinued
for nonpayment of a bill.
2.4.4 MINIMUM PERIOD AND NOTICE OF DISCONTINUANCE
A. MINIMUM PAYMENT PERIOD
The minimum payment period is the minimum period for which the
Customer is required to make payment for the local channel
service. The charges applicable to the minimum payment period
include the recurring charge(s) plus any nonrecurring and/or
special construction charge(s) that may apply.
The minimum payment period is calculated from the date that
billing started after (1) the initial installation, or (2) a
reinstallation after a move or change.
Minimum payment period charges apply if the Customer discontinues
the local channel service before the specified minimum payment
period expires. The minimum payment period for a given local
channel service component is specified in the section of this
tariff applicable to that local channel service.
B. NOTICE OF DISCONTINUANCE
AT&T requires notice when local channel services are to be
discontinued. The required notice period and the application of
charges, if any, are specified in the section applicable to the
specific local channel service.

2.4.5 ADVANCE PAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS
A. ADVANCE PAYMENTS
An advance payment will be required before a local channel service
is provided only when a Customer has a history of late payments to
AT&T or when a Customer's financial responsibility is not a matter
of record. The advance payment will equal the charges for the
minimum payment period. In addition, the advance payment will
include an amount equal to the estimated nonrecurring charges and
one month's recurring charges (if any) when special construction
is involved. In addition, the advance payment will be credited on
the Customer's bill(s). A deposit may apply in addition to an
advance payment, see B. following.
B. DEPOSITS
To safeguard its interests, AT&T will only require a Customer
which has a proven history of late payments to AT&T or whose
financial responsibility is not a matter of record, to make a
deposit to be held as a guarantee for the payment of charges. A
deposit does not relieve the Customer of the responsibility for
the prompt payment of bills on presentation. The deposit will not
exceed an amount equal to the sum of the charges for the minimum
payment period for the local channel service.
If a Termination Charge or a Maximum Termination Liability is
specified, the deposit may include an additional amount. This
additional amount will not exceed the maximum charge(s) specified
for the Termination Charge or Maximum Termination Liability.

has established credit, or when the Customer has established a
prompt payment record with AT&T for one year, or when the
local channel service for which the deposit had been required,
is discontinued.
2.4.6 TYPES OF CHARGES
There are two types of charges, recurring and nonrecurring.
These charges are as follows:
A. RECURRING CHARGES
The recurring charges for a local channel service are listed in
the applicable local channel service section as:
1. Monthly Charge
A monthly charge (including a Special Access Surcharge, if
applicable) applies each month or fraction thereof that a
local channel service is furnished. Monthly charges start on
the day after the local channel service is installed, but not
before the due date of the order unless the Customer agrees to
an earlier installation. Charges accrue through and include
the day that the local channel service is discontinued.
Monthly charges will be billed in advance, except where
prohibited by law. When the billing date and the date that
the local channel service is started, changed, or discontinued
do not coincide, the charges will be adjusted to reflect the
fractional part of the month involved (see Fractional Charges
and Credits 2.4.7 following). For billing purposes each month
is considered to have 30 days.

nonrecurring charge applies for each activity performed. The
charge may differ according to the work activity involved. Other
charges, such as Termination Charges, are also classified as
nonrecurring charges. In addition, other charges for specific
functions (e.g., Maintenance of Service) as stated in this tariff
are applied on a nonrecurring basis. Following is a description
of the generic nonrecurring charges. Other nonrecurring charges
are described in 2.4.8, 2.4.9 and in Section 13, following.
1. Installation Charge
An Installation Charge applies when a local channel service is
furnished. Installation Charges are listed in the appropriate
sections of this tariff (see also Move Charges, following;
Change of an Order 2.4.8 and Change in Service Arrangement
2.4.9 following).
2. Move Charge
A move charge applies when the physical location of a local
channel service is changed at the Customer's request.
A move normally involves an interruption of the local channel
service for the period required to complete the move. No
credit allowance will be granted for that period.

When a Customer requests the installation of a duplicate local
channel service to avoid interruption during a move, recurring
and nonrecurring charges will apply for the duplicate local
channel service. Charges will commence when the duplicate
local channel service is furnished. A new minimum payment
period will apply for the duplicate local channel service.
a. Moves in the Same Building
When a local channel service is moved to a new location in
the same building at the Customer's request, a Move Charge
applies. A Move Charge is equal to one-half of the
Installation Charge for the local channel service
involved, including the Access Coordination Function and
any channel options, miscellaneous equipment and
arrangements that are associated with the service at that
building.
b. Moves to a Different Building
When a local channel service is moved to a different
building (or to a different AT&T Central Office) at the
Customer's request, the move is considered to be the
discontinuance of the local channel service at the former
location and the installation of a local channel service
at the new location. The Installation Charges for the
local channel service apply. Installation Charges also
apply to the Access Coordination Function and any channel
options and miscellaneous equipment or arrangements (with
stated Installation Charges) associated with the service
required at the new location. A new minimum payment
period will be established for the local channel service.
If a move to a new AT&T Central Office is not made for
Customer reasons, but is required as a result of AT&T's
rearrangement of its network, move charges do not apply.

C. SPECIAL ACCESS SURCHARGE
A Special Access Surcharge is required to compensate the Local
Exchange Companies for use of the local exchange network.
1. Application of Charges
The Special Access Surcharge applies to each termination of a
local channel service at a PBX or equivalent device capable of
interconnecting the channel with the local exchange network.
The surcharge applies to each voice grade service or
multipoint termination at a Customer's location.
The Company will bill the Customer for the surcharge on each
channel service termination unless the Customer certifies that
the channel service termination is exempt from the surcharge.
The surcharge will appear on bills rendered to Customers on
and after October 26, 1985 and will be assessed from the
effective date of October 26, 1985 on all applicable
terminations. The surcharge rate is specified in the Rates
and Charges section of the applicable tariff schedule.
2. Exemption From the Surcharge
a. Private Line services that, by the nature of their
operating characteristics, cannot connect to the local
exchange network will be presumed exempt without
certification. These services are:
b. A Customer's channel service termination will be exempted
from the monthly surcharge if the Customer certifies to
the Company that:
- The channel service is terminated in a device which
is not capable of interconnecting the service with
the local exchange network, or
- The channel service termination is associated with
Switched Access Service that is subject to Carrier
Common Line charges.

2.4.7 FRACTIONAL CHARGES AND CREDITS
Where a basic termination charge is stated in the tariff as being
reduced by a specified ratio for each month of service, the
minimum contract period for such service is one month. If the
period of use exceeds one month, any fractional period of less
than full month will be prorated on the basis of the
number of days in the period in question to thirty (30) days.
A. COMPUTING FRACTIONAL CHARGES OR CREDITS FOR A RATE CHANGE
When a monthly rate is changed (increased or decreased) as a
result of a tariff revision, the additional charge or credit is
calculated as follows.
1. Monthly Rates
For any fractional part of a month, count the number of days
remaining in the billing period (including the 31st day of a
31-day month) starting with the effective date of the rate
change. Divide that figure by 30 days (billing month). The
resultant fraction is then multiplied by the amount of the
monthly rate change to arrive at the fractional charge or
credit for the rate change.
Example: Rate change effective on the 12th day of the 28 day
month.
Old Monthly Charge = $1,000.00
No. of Days Remaining in Billing = 17 Days
Period
Billing Month = 30 Days
Fractional Part of Month 17
Billed at the New Rate = 30
Rate Change = $60 monthly increase
Fractional Charges or 17 x $60 = $34.00
Credit for the Rate Change = 30

In the above example, the number of days remaining in the billing
period would be 19 for a 30-day month and 20 for a 31-day month.
The same process would be used for computing the fractional
monthly charge or credit.
B. COMPUTING CHARGES OR CREDITS FOR A FRACTIONAL PART OF A MONTH
When rates are stated on a monthly basis, each month is considered
to have 30 days for billing purposes. Charges or credits for a
fractional part of a month are calculated by counting the number
of days remaining in the billing period after the local channel
service component is furnished or has been discontinued. The
number of days remaining in the billing period (including the 31st
day of a 31-day month, if applicable) are counted starting with
the day after the date on which the local channel service
component was furnished or discontinued. Divide that figure by 30
days. The resultant fraction is then multiplied by the monthly
charge to arrive at the fractional monthly charge or credit.
Example: Local channel service furnished/discontinued on the 15th
day of a 30-day month.
Monthly Charge = $1,000.00
No. of Days Remaining in Billing
Period = 15 days

2.4.8 CHANGE OF A DUE DATE, CANCELLATION OR OTHER CHANGE TO AN ORDER
The regulations set forth in this section for the cancellation,
delay or change of an order apply to all local channel service
components.
A. CHANGE OF A DUE DATE
When an order for a local channel service component is placed, a
due date will be established and confirmed with the Customer. In
the event that a due date is delayed as set forth in 1. or 2.
following, the due date for the order will be changed to reflect
the number of days of delay or advance, as appropriate.
1. Delay of a Due Date by the Customer
A Customer may delay the due date of an order involving the
installation, move or rearrangement of a local channel service
component when:
- Number 2. following is not applicable and the request for
the delay is received by AT&T prior to the order's due
date, and
- the total delay measured from the order's initial due date
does not exceed 30 cumulative calendar days.
Orders involving the discontinuance of a local channel service
component may be delayed at any time prior to the due date.
There will be no maximum delay period for these orders,
however, the Due Date Charge will apply.
a. Maximum Delay Period
When the Customer has delayed an order for the maximum 30
cumulative calendar day period, the order may not be
delayed again by the Customer. In such case, unless 2.
following applies, the Customer has the option to (1)
accept billing for the local channel service component
ordered, or (2) cancel the order and pay the applicable
cancellation charge for the local channel service
component ordered. The billing or cancellation is
effective on the 30th cumulative calendar day of the
delay.
If the Customer elects to accept billing, the installation
will be completed as soon as reasonably practical after
the Customer advises AT&T that the installation can be
completed.

2. Delay of a Due Date By AT&T
AT&T will make every reasonable effort to assure that the
local channel service component ordered is furnished on the
due date. However, in some cases a delay in the installation
may be unavoidable. If an order is delayed beyond its due
date for more than 30 cumulative calendar days and such delay
is not requested or caused by the Customer, the Customer may
cancel the order without cancellation charges applying.
3. Advance of a Due Date
A Customer's request for an advancement in the due date of an
order will be accepted by AT&T when the request can be
accommodated without delaying orders of other customers. When
the due date is advanced, a Due Date Change Charge will apply
(see Section 13.1.6 following).
B. CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER
A critical date schedule is established by AT&T for each local
channel service order placed by a Customer. AT&T uses this
schedule to identify key activities in the service order process,
to monitor the progress of the installation, and to administer the
schedule of cancellation charges. Critical date schedules may
vary between service orders. The specific critical dates which
have been established for a given order can be obtained from the
Customer's AT&T sales negotiator.

B. CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER (Cont'd)
Cancellation charges applicable to the components of each category
of local channel service are listed in the service-specific
sections of this tariff.
If the Customer or AT&T changes the due date of an order, in
accordance with Section 2.4.8.A. preceding, the critical date
schedule for the order will be revised for those critical dates
not yet passed. Subsequent cancellation of the delayed order by
the Customer will cause a cancellation charge based on the revised
schedule to be incurred.
C. CANCELLATION INVOLVING SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION
If a Customer cancels an order which involves special
construction, the applicable charges for the special construction
are those set forth in AT&T's Tariff F.C.C. No. 5, Section 2.9.
Those charges are in addition to any charges which are applicable
under this tariff for the cancellation of an order.
D. OTHER CHANGES TO AN ORDER
When a Customer changes (1) the point of local channel termination
on a premises, (2) the interface, or (3) the channel options on an
order before the service date, such a change is considered to be a
design change. A Design Change Charge applies as specified in
this tariff, (see Design Change Charge, Section 13.1.7.). A
change in premises is considered to be a cancellation of the order
for the local channel service. If the change does not involve all
locations on a local channel service but causes the remainder of
the locations to be delayed more than 30 days beyond their due
date, the Customer has the option of (1) accepting billing for the
remaining locations or (2) canceling those locations and paying
the applicable cancellation charge.
A Customer's order for modification of a local channel service
after the service date is considered to be a change in service
arrangement, as specified in 2.4.9 following.

2. GENERAL REGULATIONS
2.5 CREDIT ALLOWANCES FOR INTERRUPTIONS
2.5.1 GENERAL
A credit allowance will be given when a local channel service is
interrupted, except as specified in 2.5.2 following. An
interruption period begins when the Customer reports a local
channel service to be interrupted and releases it for testing and
repair. An interruption period ends when the local channel
service is operative. If the Customer reports a local channel
service to be inoperative but declines to release it for testing
and repair, it is considered to be impaired, but not interrupted.
In addition, there may be specific credit allowance regulations
that only apply to a given category of local channel service.
Those regulations are specified in the section of the tariff
which is applicable to the specific local channel service.
2.5.2 WHEN CREDIT ALLOWANCE DOES NOT APPLY
Credit allowance does not apply for:
- Interruptions caused by the negligence of the Customer or
others authorized by the Customer to use the Customer's local
channel service.
- Interruptions due to the failure of power, equipment, systems
or connections not provided by AT&T.
- Interruptions during any period in which AT&T or its agents
are not afforded access to the Customer's premises where the
local channel service is terminated.
- Interruptions during any period when the Customer or User has
released a local channel service for maintenance or
rearrangement purposes, or for the implementation of a
Customer order.
- Interruptions during periods when the Customer elects not to
release the local channel service for testing and/or repair.
- Interruptions caused by the failure of Private Line Services
connected to a local channel service at an AT&T Central
Office.
- An interruption or group of interruptions, resulting from a
common cause, for amounts less than one dollar.

2.5.3 USE OF ANOTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION
If the Customer elects to use another means of communications
during the period of interruption, the Customer must pay the
charges for the alternative service used.
2.5.4 TEMPORARY SURRENDER OF A LOCAL CHANNEL SERVICE
In certain instances, the Customer may be asked to surrender a
local channel service for purposes other than maintenance,
testing or activity relating to a service order. If the Customer
consents, a credit will be given. One day's credit will be given
for each 24 hour period or fraction thereof that the local
channel service is surrendered.
2.5.5 CALCULATION OF CREDIT ALLOWANCES
A credit allowance will be given for all other local channel
services that are interrupted for 30 minutes or more. For
calculating credit allowance for local channel services, every
month is considered to have 30 days.
A. DETERMINING CREDIT ALLOWANCE
The credit allowance is determined in the following manner:
1. Calculate the Average Channel Value by adding the total
monthly charges for the local channel service. That sum is
then divided by the total number of local channels or bridged
channels on the local channel service to obtain the Average
Channel Value.
2. Calculate the Average Channel Value for one full day by
dividing the Average Channel Value for one month by 30 days:
(1) divided by 30,
3. Multiply the Average Channel Value for one day by the
interruption period to be credited (see Calculation Table) in
order to determine the credit for one channel: (2) x
interruption period.
4. Multiply the credit for one channel by the number of channels
affected to determine the credit allowance for the local
channel service: (3) x number of channels affected.

wire centers of the Customer premises.
- The rate mileage for a local channel between an AT&T Central
Office and the Customer's premises is measured using the V&H
coordinates of the serving wire centers of the AT&T Central
Office and the Customer's premises. The appropriate AT&T
Central Office to use is determined as set forth in Section
4.1.1.B. following.
A. DETERMINING THE SERVING WIRE CENTER FOR A CUSTOMER PREMISES
The serving wire center for a Customer's premises is the Local
Exchange Company wire center (i.e., NPA-NXX) which normally
provides dial tone to the Customer's premises. The appropriate V&H
coordinates associated with these wire centers are found in the
NECA Tariff F.C.C. No. 4 in effect as of July 1, 1992, as modified
by AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 10, Section 14.
B. DETERMINING THE PRICING CENTRAL OFFICE
The Customer may specify a particular AT&T Central Office within a
LATA (i.e., Customer specified routing). In such cases, the local
channel will be physically routed to the AT&T Central Office
specified by the Customer and priced to the serving wire center of
that central office. If the Customer does not make such a
specification, AT&T will use the serving wire center of the
Customer's premises and the service category of the local channel
service to be provided to determine the pricing central office, as
follows:

Example: The Customer's serving wire center is 208-543 for which the
V&H coordinates as shown in NECA Tariff F.C.C. No. 4 are
(V)7274 (H)7603. The Customer orders a Voice Grade Local
Channel service.
1. In Section 28 of AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 10 look up the area
code and first three digits of the wire center serving the
Customer's premises and find its LATA number.
Example: The LATA number for 208-543 is 652.
2. In Sections 120 to 981 of AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 10, look up
the LATA number and find the AT&T Central Offices within the
LATA. Determine the AT&T Central Offices within the LATA which
provide the service category required. If there is only one
AT&T Central Office in a LATA for the category of service
required, that central office is the pricing central office.
Example: In LATA number 652, ACCUNET® Spectrum of Digital Service
is available at the following AT&T Central Offices:

3. In Sections 120 to 981 of AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 10, look up
the V&H coordinates for the serving wire center of each AT&T
Central Office determined in 4.1.1.B.2. preceding. If the
serving wire center for any of the AT&T Central Offices
determined in 4.1.1.B.2. preceding and the Customer's premises
is the same (i.e., the V&H coordinates are the same), that
AT&T Central Office is the pricing central office and no
further calculation is necessary because no mileage charge
applies. If the serving wire centers are different, proceed as
in 4. following.
Example: The V&H coordinates for the serving wire centers of the
AT&T Central Offices identified are as follows:
BOISIDMA (V)07094 (H)07866
IDFLIDAH (V)06998 (H)07214
JERMIDQA (V)07240 (H)07570
PCTLIDQA (V)07148 (H)07250
Because the V&H coordinates associated with the Customer's
serving wire center differ from any of the above, a mileage
charge applies.
4. The AT&T Central Office used to determine mileage will be the
one whose serving wire center is nearest to the serving wire
center of the Customer's premises, Determine which central
office is the pricing central office by calculating the
airline distance using the V&H coordinates of the serving wire
centers of the Customer's premises and each AT&T Central
Office (see Calculation of Airline Mileage, 4.1.3 following).
If two AT&T Central Offices are measured equidistant from the
Customer's premises using the rounded mileage, the central
office to be used is the one which is the nearest using
unrounded mileage.

4.1.2 MULTIPOINT LOCAL CHANNEL SERVICE MILEAGE MEASUREMENT
When a Multipoint Local Channel service is furnished, Bridged and
Inter-bridged Channels are utilized, as appropriate. The rate
mileage for a Bridged or Inter-bridged Channel is the airline
distance measured in accordance with the physical routing of the
service and is determined as follows:
- The rate mileage for a Bridged Channel is measured using (1)
the V&H coordinates of the serving wire center of the
Customer's premises or AT&T Central Office, as appropriate and
(2) the V&H coordinates of the wire center of the Local
Exchange Company bridge.
- The rate mileage for an Inter-bridged Channel is measured
using the V&H coordinates of the wire centers of the Local
Exchange Company bridges.
In all cases above, the airline mileage is determined as set
forth in Section 4.1.3 following.

4.1.3 CALCULATION OF AIRLINE MILEAGE
Airline mileage between serving wire centers is calculated as set
forth in AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 10. Following is an example of
how mileage is calculated in accordance with those regulations.
A. EXAMPLE MILEAGE CALCULATION
After determining the V&H coordinates of the serving wire centers
as described in Section 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 preceding, calculate the
mileage between the V&H coordinates as follows:
1. V and H: Buhl, ID (V) 07274 (H) 07603
Jerome, ID (V) 07240 (H) 07570
2. Obtain the difference between the V coordinates. Then obtain
the difference between the H coordinates. (The difference is
always obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the
larger.)
V H
07274 07603
- 07240 - 07570
Difference 34 33
3. Square each difference.
(342 = 1156
(33)2 = 1089
4. Add the squares of the two differences.
1156 + 1089 = 2245
5. Divide the sum of the square by 10.
2245 / 10 = 224.5 Rounded = 225
6. Take the square root of the result obtained in 5. The
resultant is the airline miles of the channel involved.
Fractional miles are rounded to the next higher whole number.
Square root of 225 = 15
Airline mileage = 15 miles

10. VOICE GRADE LOCAL CHANNEL SERVICE
10.1 GENERAL
A Voice Grade Local Channel service provides for the transmission of
analog signals within a frequency bandwidth of approximately 300 to
3000 Hz.
10.1.1 DESCRIPTION
A Voice Grade Local Channel service is suitable for transmission
in one direction only (one way) or transmission in two directions
(two way), of voice, data or any other application required in
two directions which utilizes analog signals within the specified
transmission parameters of the local channel.
A Voice Grade Local Channel service is provided (1) between one
or more Customer premises and an AT&T Central Office, or (2)
between two or more Customer premises, or (3) solely as an access
coordination function(s).
At the Customer's request AT&T will provide service to multiple
Customer premises within a LATA through the use of a bridge(s)
located at a Local Exchange Company central office(s). However,
if AT&T determines that it is unable to meet service design and
technical performance criteria in the configuration requested,
the Customer will be advised and given the opportunity to cancel
or change the order. In such cases, no charge will apply for the
cancellation or change in the Customer's order.
Examples of technical considerations are:
- Generally data circuits will not perform satisfactorily with
more than three inter-bridged circuit links in tandem.
- AT&T's ability to test and restore circuits is diminished when
bridging occurs outside its central offices. This is
particularly severe when bridges are connected in tandem
outside its central offices.
When a Multipoint Local Channel service is furnished the local
channel is billed in accordance with the configuration provided
via Bridged and Inter-bridged Channels as set forth in 10.2.2 and
10.2.3 following.

B. SIGNALING
Signaling is the process by which one location alerts another
location on the same channel or network that it wishes to
communicate.
The signaling arrangements available permit signals generated by
other equipment at a location to be transmitted over a local
channel service. They do not include the capability to initiate
or receive those signals.
The signaling arrangement to be used on a local channel service is
dependent on the type of equipment connected to the local channel
service, the function of the channel (e.g., off-premises station,
tie trunk) and the manner in which the Customer wants the signal
process to operate (e.g., ringdown, dial).
1. Loop Start Loop Signaling
Loop Start Loop Signaling is used for off-premises stations,
trunk to station tie lines, and other channels which are
terminated in switching equipment at one end and other
terminal equipment (e.g., in a handset) at the other end. The
interface with the switching equipment is referred to as the
closed end.
This signaling arrangement is designed to pass an open loop
(idle condition) or closed loop (seized condition) from the
station to the switching equipment. It will transmit dial
pulse or multifrequency pulsing signals from the station to
the switching equipment and dial tone and 20 Hertz ringing
from the switching equipment to the station.

2. Ground Start Loop Signaling
Ground Start Loop Signaling is used for channels which
interface with central office switching equipment on the open
end and PBX on the closed end to provide a PBX to central
office trunk.
In the operation of this arrangement the closed end provides a
closed loop and momentary ground for the ring conductor as a
seizure. The open end provides a ground on the tip and
battery on the ring as a seizure. This arrangement will
transmit dial tone and 20 Hertz ringing from the open end to
the closed end, and will transmit dial pulses or
multifrequency pulsing address signals from the closed end to
the open end.
3. E&M Signaling Interface
This signaling arrangement is used for registered or
grandfathered switching equipment tie trunks and is available
as Type I, II or III E&M Signaling.
4. Two-Point Automatic Ringdown Signaling Arrangements Loop
Closure Interface
In this signaling arrangement, the calling station activates
20 Hertz ringing by providing a tip to ring conductor as an
off-hook signal. The 20 Hertz ringing operates a bell or
relay at the distant station. Loop Closure interface is used
for handset, key set, switchboard and console terminations.
5. Manual Signaling Arrangements For Two-Point Or Multipoint
Local Channel Services 20 Hertz Interface
In this signaling arrangement the calling station transmits 20
Hertz ringing activated by the operation of a key or a button.
