• Service discontinued in the 12th through 60th month

The dollar difference between the current TPP price for the TPP term that could havebeen completed during the time the service was actually in service and the customer’scurrent TPP price for each month the service was provided.

Example:

A customer subscribed to a 60-month TPP term and disconnected service during the37th month. This customer’s termination charge would be:

(36-month TPP price - 60-month TPP price) x 37 = Termination Charge

The 36-month TPP term could have been completed during the months the service wasactually in service.

All recurring price termination charges will be based on the TPP prices in effect at thetime of termination.

METHOD B:

• The total monthly payments remaining under the Term Payment Plan.

(Number of subscribed to TPP months- number of months in service)

x (subscribed to TPP price) = Termination Charge

Example:

A customer subscribed to a 36-month TPP term and disconnected service at the end ofthe 34th month. This customer’s termination charge would be:

PART 17 - ISDN Services 5th Revised Sheet 4SECTION 2 - ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI)


1. ISDN PRIME SERVICE (cont'd)

D. FEATURES

1. Standard Features

Alternate RoutingAllows a customer's incoming ISDN Prime traffic to be directed to a predetermined alternate routewhen all B Channels in the ISDN Prime trunk group are busy. The incoming traffic will be routeadvanced to another ISDN Prime Trunk Group or to an analog DID trunk group as long as thealternate route is within the same switch, is billed to the same customer of record, and is billedusage on the same rate basis. Calls may not route between trunk-side services and line-sideservices. All incoming calls will automatically alternate route on both an out of service andoverflow basis to the alternate ISDN Prime Trunk Group or an analog DID trunk group. MultipleAlternate Routes may be linked together although the total number of Alternate Routes may belimited due to technical restrictions.

Call by Call for Trunk GroupsAllows the Circuit Switched Voice and Data services enabled on the ISDN Prime to share “B”channels and arrange them as a single trunk group. This allows incoming and outgoing CircuitSwitched Voice and Data calls to utilize “B” channels on a call by call basis. Without thiscapability, each service will have a dedicated “B” channel.

Caller IDAll calling numbers presented to the services working on ISDN Prime can be delivered to thecustomer’s CPE, including calls made to Direct Inward Dialing Service telephone numbers. Thisfeature is optioned on a per trunk group basis only and is offered in appropriately equipped centraloffices.

Blocked Caller ID will be delivered to certain qualifying customers as described in FCCMemorandum Opinion and Order, CC Docket No. 91-281, adopted January 4, 2002. Suchcustomers must certify to SBC compliance with the waiver order’s eligibility requirements.

Clear Channel CapabilityThe “B” channels on the ISDN Prime are clear, since all signaling and control functions arehandled by the “D” channel. This allows all 64 kbps on each “B” channel to be used for customerinformation over the ISDN Prime connection. Calls over the network may either by 56 kbps or 64kbps depending on the public network in place between the ISDN Prime and the distant end of thecall.

D. FEATURES (cont’d)

1. Standard Features (cont’d)

“D” Channel Control of Multiple ISDN PrimesProvides capability for a single “D” channel to provide signaling and control for one or more ISDNPrime connections. The twenty-fourth channel on one or more ISDN Prime connections is thenmade available for incoming and outgoing calls.

Dedicated Trunk GroupsAllows all 23 channels (24 where technology permits), or a subset thereof, to be used as standalone trunk groups. Each channel is capable of handling incoming or outgoing Circuit SwitchedVoice or Circuit Switched Data.

Digital Voice TransmissionAll voice calls are transmitted using digital signaling.

Direct Inward Dialing SignalingPermits incoming dialed calls from the exchange network to reach a specific number served bycustomer-premises equipment (CPE) without the assistance of an attendant. It also provides forthe unique identification of the call based on digits sent to the CPE by the central office. Thecentral office will outpulse digits to the CPE which can further process the calls as desired.

Equal Access for InterLATA CallingAllows the customer to preselect an Interexchange Carrier for each Circuit Switched Voice orCircuit Switched Data trunk group. The carrier designation can be changed for charges shown inSBC Operating Companies Access Service Tariff, F.C.C. No. 2, Section 4.2(C).

PBX Station ID CapabilityAllows the station user's number (calling party) to be transmitted over the ISDN Prime "D" channelfrom Direct Inward Dialing equipped CPE PBXs that use ISDN Prime. This number is provided bythe originating station and must have an associated Direct Inward Dialing telephone numberworking in the central office.

(2) Feature Description

Automatic Route Selection - Deluxe (ARS-D)

ARS-D provides for the origination of only ten digit off-network calls to a messagenetwork telephone number, after which the ARS-D access code automatically scans thedigits and selects a first choice completing route or subsequent route if the first choiceroute is not available. Routes may include exchange service lines, Wide Area TelephoneService lines, CCSA access lines, or other compatible arrangements.

The final completing route may be the message network or, at the option of the customer,the call attempt may be routed to overflow tone if a Facilities Restriction Level (FRL) isinsufficient to complete the call.

(2) Feature Description (Cont’d)

Facilities Restriction Levels (FRL)

FRL is required in connection with ARS-D and is provided on each station line andincoming ETS Tie Line to determine both the types of calls and type of facilities within theprivileges of the originating station user.

Authorization Codes - Authorization Codes are an FRL option which provides for astation user to dial a code which overrides the FRL associated with that station line orincoming tie line. The system requires dialing of the Authorization Code when thedefault FRL (i.e., the FRL associated with the station line or incoming ETS Tie Line)has insufficient privileges to complete the call. The Authorization Code is recorded inthe SMDR-P record of the call when the SMDR-P feature is provided.
