Verizon Initiated ASRs with
Trading Partners
Note: Trading partners equivalent to Facility-Base CLEC Providers
where Verizon exchanges ASRs for Switched and Special
Interconnection Services.

Getting Started
First Steps
Interconnection Agreement
Negotiate an interconnection agreement and establish a business relationship.
Network Connectivity
Exchange information regarding the CLEC and the Verizon network infrastructure.
Interconnect the two networks through special access, Mid-Span or Collocation arrangements.
Implementation Plan
Meet with Account or Project Manager(s) to initiate implementation meeting with participants
representative of Forecaster, Planners, Network or Engineering Planners, ASR Ordering/Billing
Centers…etc.

Third Party Vendor Participation
ASR Escalation Ordering/Provisioning Contacts
Some of this information will be requested from the CLEC up front so that Verizon may input and track into
the ordering system to assist with automation. A Provider Profile will be attached along with this Presentation
and a Notification Letter.

ASR Business Rules
Verizon - ASR Initiation
When would Verizon send an ASR?

Verizon will initiate Special Access and/or Switched Interconnection ASRs to accommodate Verizon’s
originating traffic terminating to the CLEC Provider’s switch based on the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.
Upon receipt of a one way Inbound ASR from Trading Partner.
Verizon’s End Users originating majority % of ISP traffic.
Infrastructure Re-groom
What system will Verizon be utilizing to send ASRs to a Trading Partner?

Verizon will be utilizing a system called Outbound Access Service Request (OASR). The system is a
Web based application based on current ASOG Mech Spec. industry standards. Its functionality is to
gather data from Verizon’s existing provisioning systems and/or data entry components to generate an
ASR. The ASR is then updated and submitted to the provider either by NDM transmission or autofacsimile

Verizon - ASR Initiation (Continued)
What type of ASRs will Verizon transmit to a Trading Partner?

Verizon will submit Special Access and Switched Interconnection ASRs to the CLEC provider. Verizon
will not be requiring a DLR during the initial implementation phasing of OASR.
 Special Access – DS3 or higher Entrance Facility.
Verizon will either build facilities from a Verizon MUX/DACs to the negotiated Point of
Interface (POI) or to the CLEC’s POP.
When Verizon builds to the POI, the ASR is notification to cross connect at the tie down provided on the
ASR. Verizon’s financial obligation to the Interconnection Agreement ends at the POI, however, in some
cases, Verizon may choose to build to the CLECs ACTL, utilize a jointly provided Mid-Span Connect or
SONET Ring to avoid mileage at the DS1/DS0 level of both LECs.

ASR Business Rules
Verizon - ASR Initiation (Continued)
In both facility build scenarios, it is the expectation that the CLEC will complete the transport to the CLEC switch.
In Meet-Point scenarios, where there is a transiting LEC, the CLEC is expected to issue an ASR on behalf of
Verizon to the transiting company to obtain controlling company circuit assignment for the DS3 before Verizon can
issue the outbound DS1/DS0s to the CLEC provider.
Switched Interconnection – Local or Local/IntraLATA toll trunks will be
ordered to ride the DS1s assigned off of the DS3 or Higher Entrance
Facility in the majority of cases but can be handed off at a DS1 level, if necessary.

ASR Business Rules
Verizon - ASR Initiation (Continued)
What type of information will be on the ASR?
Verizon will be using the following common elements on the DS3 ASR:
 CC populated with a Verizon OCN
 000 PIU
 ACNA/CCNA of GIT, NYX or BAL
 CCEA/SCCEA for Tie Down Connection, if applicable
Verizon will use the following common elements on the DS1/DS0 ASR:
 CC populated with a Verizon OCN
 000 PIU
 PLU based on VZ’s declared PLU factorization in the contract.
 LTP codes of EA or LA, dependant upon service request terminating at Tandem or End Office
connections riding existing special access facility
 ACNA/CCNA of GIT, NYX or BAL
 CCEA/SCCEA for Tie Down data, if applicable
 TQ will only be provided for a new trunk group or augments with translation changes. ASR
will reflect TQ on file for augments without translation changes and disconnects.
 End Office Detail and the Additional Circuit forms will be provided as applicable with
Industry Standards.

ASR Business Rules
Verizon - ASR Initiation (Continued)
Note: Since Verizon North initiates the ACTL to the CLEC provider upon
Interconnection, Verizon will utilize the same ACTL on the outbound ASR unless
requested otherwise. If the CLEC desires that Verizon utilize a Verizon ACTL, Verizon
will request the CLEC to provide accordingly to be placed onto the ASR. This also
applies to the Facility ACTL as well. APOT will reflect point of Interconnection.

The Message ECCKT in the CKR will be in CLM format according to Industry Standards
ECCKT – Exchange company Circuit ID (ASOG 29) – CLM format
COMMON LANGUAGE Message Trunk circuit Codes (CLCI MSG Codes) This format is defined in
ANSI T1.266, Structure for the Identification of Telecommunications Circuits for the North American
Telecommunications System and consists of the following elements:
1. Trunk Number – A serial number type code that identifies a specific trunk in a trunk group (1-4 numeric
characters).
2. Traffic Class – A standardized code that designates an engineering categorization, e.g., grade of service,
alternate route. Valid entries are outlined in Telcordia Technologies practice BR 795-400-100 (2 alpha
characters).
3. Office Class – A standardized code that designates the highest level of switching performed by the traffic
units or offices terminating the trunk or trunk group. Valid entries are outlined in Telcordia Technologies
practice BR 795-400-100 (2 alpha/numeric characters).
4. Traffic Use Code – A standardized code that designates the type of traffic offered to the trunk group, e.g.,
inter-end office, tandem access, directory assistance. Valid entries are outlined in Telcordia Technologies
practice BR 795-400-100 (2 alpha/numeric characters).
