Attachment 2
Page 22
2.6.2.1 BHN may obtain LMU information by submitting a mechanized LMU query or a
Manual LMUSI. Mechanized LMUs should be submitted through AT&T's OSS
interfaces. After obtaining the Loop information from the mechanized LMU
process, if BHN needs further Loop information in order to determine Loop service
capability, BHN may initiate a separate Manual Service Inquiry for a separate
nonrecurring charge as set forth in Exhibit A of this Attachment.
2.6.2.2 Manual LMUSIs shall be submitted according to the guidelines in the LMU
CLEC Information Package, incorporated herein by reference, as it may be
amended from time to time, which can be found at the following AT&T website:
http://interconnection.BellSouth.com/guides/html/unes.html . The service interval
for the return of a Manual LMUSI is three (3) business days. Manual LMUSIs
are not subject to expedite requests. This service interval is distinct from the
interval applied to the subsequent service order.
2.6.2.3 Loop Reservations
2.6.2.3.1 For a Mechanized LMUSI, BHN may reserve up to ten (10) Loop facilities. For a
Manual LMUSI, BHN may reserve up to three (3) Loop facilities.
2.6.2.3.2 BHN may reserve facilities for up to four (4) business days for each facility
requested through LMU from the time the LMU information is returned to BHN.
During and prior to BHN placing an LSR, the reserved facilities are rendered
unavailable to other customers, including AT&T. If BHN does not submit an
LSR for a UNE service on a reserved facility within the four (4)-day reservation
timeframe, the reservation of that spare facility will become invalid and the facility
will be released.
2.6.2.3.3 Charges for preordering Manual LMUSI or Mechanized LMU are separate from
any charges associated with ordering other services from AT&T.
2.6.2.3.4 All LSRs issued for reserved facilities shall reference the facility reservation
number as provided by AT&T. BHN will not be billed any additional LMU
charges for the Loop ordered on such LSR. If, however, BHN does not reserve
facilities upon an initial LMUSI, BHN’s placement of an order for an advanced
data service type facility will incur the appropriate billing charges to include SI
and reservation per Exhibit A of this Attachment.
2.6.2.3.5 Where BHN has reserved multiple Loop facilities on a single reservation, BHN
may not specify which facility shall be provisioned when submitting the LSR. For
those occasions, AT&T will assign to BHN, subject to availability, a facility that
meets the AT&T technical standards of the AT&T type Loop as ordered by BHN.
2.6.3 Dark Fiber Loop. Dark Fiber Loop is a Loop as defined in 2.1.1 within an
existing fiber optic cable that has not yet been activated through optronics to
render it capable of carrying communications services.
