2.5.5 Advance Payments and Deposits
A.Advance Payment
An advance payment may be required before a private line service is provided when a customer
has a history of late payments to CNT 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 and the
applicable nonrecurring charges.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.The advance payment will be credited on the customer's bill(s).A
deposit may apply in addition to an advance payment (see Deposits,following).
B.Deposits
To safeguard its interests,CNT may require a customer with a history of late payments to CNT 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 private line
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.An advance payment may be required in
addition to a deposit (see Advance Payment,preceding).

2.GENERAL REGULATIONS
2.5 Payments and Charges (Cont'd)
2.5.6 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 private line service are listed in the applicable service section as:
1.Monthly Charge
A monthly charge applies each month or fraction thereof that a private line service is furnished.
Monthly charges start on the day after the private line 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 private line service is discontinued.Monthly charges will be billed in
advance.When the billing date and the date that the private line 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,within this tariff).For billing purposes each
month is considered to have 30 days.
B.Nonrecurring Charges
A nonrecurring charge applies for an activity,such as an installation,a move,or a change,
ordered by the customer.A nonrecurring charge applies for each activity performed.The charge
may differ according to the work activity involved.Other charges,such as termination charges,if
applicable,are also classified as nonrecurring charges.In addition,other charges for specific
functions as stated in this tariff are applied on a nonrecurring basis.Following is a description of
the generic nonrecurring charges.
1.Installation Charge
An installation charge applies when a private line service is furnished.Installation charges are
listed in the appropriate sections of this tariff.Installation charges may be further categorized as
follows:
a."First"denotes an installation charge for the first service of a group of identical services
ordered at the same time and installed at the same time for the same custorner and at
the same location.
b."Additional"denotes an installation charge for each additional service--excluding the first-
-ordered at the same time and installed at the same time for the same customer and at
the same location.
c."Initial"denotes an installation charge for options installed at the same time as the
primary service with which they are associated.
d."Subsequent"denotes an installation charge associated with an option added to an
existing service.

B.Nonrecurring Charges (Cont'd)
2.Move Charge
A move charge applies when the physical location of the termination of an interoffice channel or
of an office connection or office function or local channel is changed at the customer's request.A
move of any of these is considered to be the discontinuance of service at the old location and the
reinstallation of the service at the new location.Installation charges apply only for the
components that are moved.A new minimum payment period will be established.
When a component with a termination charge is moved,the customer must pay the unexpired
portion of the termination charge.A new termination charge will be established at the new
location.A move normally involves an interruption of the private line service for the period
required to complete the move.No credit allowance will be granted for the period.
When a customer requests the installation of a duplicate service to avoid interruption during a
move,recurring and nonrecurring charges will apply for the duplicate service.Charges will
commence when the duplicate service is furnished.A new minimum payment period will apply for
the duplicate 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,except for Digital Data
Local Channel Services where whole charges apply,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 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 designated Central Office is not made at the customer's request,but is required
as a result of CNT's rearrangement of its network,move charges do not apply.

B.Nonrecurring Charges (Cont'd)
3.Termination Charge
A termination charge applies when a customer orders the discontinuance of a private line service
before the expiration of a specified period of time.Termination charges apply to specific
components as set forth in the appropriate sections of this tariff.The charge has two elements,a
dollar amount and a specified period of time.This period,expressed in months,is shown in
brackets next to the dollar amount (e.g.,$10,000[120])in the appropriate sections of this tariff.
The termination charge is determined by multiplying the dollar amount by the ratio of the
unexpired portion of the specified period of time.A description and example of the process for
determining termination charges follows.
a.Identify the number of months in the specified period as shown in brackets following the
dollar amount,e.g.,[60]=60 months.
b.Identifythe number of months that the private line service has been furnished,including
fractions of months.
c.Subtract the number of months the private line service has been furnished from the
number of months in the specified period to obtain the unexpired portion of the specified
period (a-b).
d.Divide the unexpired portion of the specified period by the specified period to obtain the
charge ratio to be used (c divided by a).
e.Multiply the dollar amount by the charge ratio to obtain the charge to be made
(termination charge amount x d).
Example:
Dollar Amount =$60,000
Specified Period {}={60}months
Time Furnished =40 months

2.5.7 Cancellation,Delay or Change of an Order (Cont'd)
A.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 private line service when:Section 2.5.7.B.is not applicable and the request for the delay is
received by CNT 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.When the due date is delayed,a
due date change charge will apply.Orders involving the discontinuance of a private line service
may be delayed at any time prior to the due date.There will be no maximum delay period for
these orders.
1.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 B.following applies,
the customer has the option to (1)accept billing for the private line service ordered,or (2)cancel
the order and pay the applicable cancellation charge for the private line service 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 CNT that the installation can be completed.
B.Delay of a Due Date by CNT
CNT will make every reasonable effort to assure that the private line service 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.

C.Advance of a Due Date
A customer's request for an advancement in the due date of an order will be accepted by CNT
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 Due Date Change Charge within
this tariff.)
D.Cancellation of an Order
A critical date schedule is established by CNT for each private line service order placed by a
customer.CNT 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 that have
been established for a given order can be obtained from the customer's CNT sales negotiator.
The critical dates monitored by CNT are:
Application Date (APP):The date on which the customer provides a firm commitment and
sufficient information to CNT to proceed with issuance of a firm order for service.
Scheduled Issue Date (SID):The date on which the service order is entered into CNT's service
order distribution system.Design Layout Report Date (DLRD):The date on which the Design
Layout Report (DLR)or access interface information is received by CNT from the LEC.

2.5.9 Fractional Charges and Credits
A.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 private line service 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 private
line service 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:Private line service furnished/discontinued on the 15th day of a 30-day month.
Monthly Charge =$1,000
Number of Days
Remaining in
Billing Period =15 days
Billing Month =30 days
Fractional Monthly No.of Days Remaining
Charge/Credit =in Billinq Period X Monthly Charge
Billing Month
Fractional Monthly =15 x $1,000
Charge/Credit 30
Fractional Monthly
Charge/Credit =$500
In the above example,the number of days remaining in the billing period would be 13 for a 28-day month
and 16 for a 31-day month.The same process would be used for computing the fractional monthly
charge or credit.

B.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 31"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 of credit for the rate
change.
Example:Rate change effective on the 12th day of the 28-day
month.
Old Monthly Charge =$1,000
Number of Days Remaining

Customer's premises and designated CNT central office in the same LATA for connection to
InterLATA IOC,or (2)solely as an access coordination function(s).
Intrastate/IntraLATAVoice Grade Local Channel Service is provided:(1)between two Customer
premises in the same LATA,or (2)between a Customer's premises and a designated CNT
central office in the same LATA to connect that premises to IntraLATA IOC or another
Intrastate/IntraLATA Local Channel at the Central Office.
Examples of technical considerations are:
generally data circuits will not perform satisfactorily with more than two interbridge circuit links in
tandem.
CNT'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 CNT bridging is employed to provide a multipoint local channel service,the local channel is
billed via the local channel offering set forth within this tariff.
When LEC bridging is employed to provide a multipoint local channel service,the local channel is
configured in accordance with the specifications set forth within this tariff and is billed via the
bridged and interbridge channel offerings set forth within this tariff.

13.2.6 Channel Options (Cont'd)
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,foreign exchange,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 open end and the interface with the station 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
This signaling arrangement is used for channels that 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 short as an offhook 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.The 20 Hertz ringing activates a bell or relay at the distant station.
In the multipoint local channel service application,all stations receive the ring from the calling
location.
6.Manual Signaling Arrangement With Code Selection for Multipoint Local Channel Services
This signaling arrangement is similar to the manual signaling arrangement for two-point local
channels except that the calling station can select a single distant station or group of stations by
keying one of nine predetermined codes.Only the station or stations called will respond to the
ringing current.

Signal Range Extension is required when a local channel service (arranged for loop start dial
signaling)is used as an off-premises station.There are three types:
Type A is furnished for use with Class A PBX (or similar)station ports capable of operation over
loops with resistance in the range of 0-199 ohms.
