87.3 MegaLln~ Channel Service (Cont'd)
87.3.1 General (Cont'd)
B. Channelization is provided by D type channel banks which are offered in various basic system capacities and feature
activation types. Individual channel services are made available by selecting the specific feature activation equipment
desired in a basic system. The customer may channelize all or part of a MegaLink e channel service package to activate voice
and data facilities for interconnection with the exchange network, voice grade and data facilities for private line channels, a s
well as other MegaLinke channel services. The customer may also choose not to channelize all or part of a MegaLink e
channel service package allowing direct connection to other DS 1 services as provided in this Tariff or the General
Subscriber Service Tariff (GSST).
C. This service is available within a LATA where appropriate digital facilities are available as determined by the Company.
Service inquiries will be necessary to determine availability. Special Constnlction charges for MegaLink e service will apply
as specified in B7.1 preceding.
D. Individual channels within a MegaLink e channel service package may be connected with service offered in other sections of
this Tariff and General Subscriber Service Tariff as appropriate. The regulations, rates and charges in this Tariff are
applicable for the Megalinke channel service component of the customer's end-to-end service. Single channel service
components (non-MegaLinke channel service links) are subject to the regulations, rates and charges in their respective tariff
sections.
E. The customer may activate any number or combination of channels within a MegaLink e channel service package within the
limitations set forth in B7.3.1.F. following. Channels may be activated coincident with initial service or at any time
subsequent to basic system installation. Once activated, a channel is subject to a minimum service period in accordance with
the contract terms. Features (channels) activated under month-to-month rates will have a minimum service period of one
month.
F. The total number of voice grade equivalent channels activated by the customer may not exceed the capacity of the basic
system. Additionally, there are some necessary restrictions in total system capacities where certain types of channel services
are channelized. For example, some channelizing equipment for SynchroNet e service and Dataphone. Digital Service
channels may require two voice grade equivalent channels per channel provided by the Company. This would reduce a
system's stated capacity substantially. The Company will notify the customer when a system's capacity is affected.
G. Central Office channelization generally provides analog to digital conversion to permit individual exchange services and
private line channel services to be transported over digital high capacity facilities. In addition, this equipment permits
connection to required testing facilities at designated hub or node locations for some digital offerings, such as Synchronet e
service. This channelization is also intended for use at Company locations where different high capacity digital network
links terminate in the same Central Office and must be converted to individual analog or digital channels before individual
service links can be cross-connected. System capacities below are provided in groups of 24 voice grade equivalent channels,
and are subject to the limits as set forth in B7.3.1.F. preceding.
H. Channelization on a customer's premises is provided by the customer. Customer premises channelization equipment, and any
other associated network termination equipment, is available through various vendors, including Company, on a detariffed
basis. Joint provisioning of channelized services introduces joint responsibilities between the customer and the Company.
I. Responsibilities of the Company:
a. The Company will endeavor to activate its portion of joint service in a timely manner on the negotiated date to
support installation requirements.
