CW- OCC Wire Pair Facility: Comprised of metallic conductors capable of transmitting direct current. CZ- OCC Access Facility: A communication path between an OCC's patron and an OCC terminal location. It is used to provide access to an OCC network. EA- Switched Access: Provides a facility which connects a main PBX, CENTREX, Key System, or other such system, to an OCC provided private line switched network termination. EB- Enfia End Office Trunk: A voice-grade circuit between an OCC terminal location and a telephone and a telephone central office. Under to provide access to subscrubers served by that end office only. EC- Enfia Tandem Trunk: Used to provide access to subscribers in the local tandem area. EE- Conbined Access: Arrangement providing voice grade combined access circuit at local exhange or ENFIA rates. Unded to furnish access to the switched message network between an OCC terminal location and the telephone central office. EG- Type #2 Telegraph: A telegraph grade wire pair facility between two OCC terminals or between the OCC and its patron's premises. Used to provide provide telegraph service typically between 76 and 150 bauds. EN- Exchange Network Access Facility: Used to provide access to the Switched Message Network. (This code no to be applied in combined access applications.) EW- Off Network MTS/WATS Equivalent Service: Voice-grade circuit between an OCC terminal location and SSN switcher, PBX, Centrex or system providing similar functions. It is used to provide MTS/WATS equivalent services. WC- Special Facility with 800 Service: Provides a special one way central office data connecting facility (CODCF) from a Bell central office to an International Record Carrier (IRC) operating center or terminal location for use in conjunction with an IRC overseas service (e.g., DATEL). Provides a special transmission and routing arrangement with access from the WAYS network that may include domestic satellite avoidance. The Bell central office may or may not be the IRC's normal serving office. WD- Special Facility with Outward WATS: Provides a special one way central office data connecting facility (CODCF) from an International Record Carrier (IRC) operating center or terminal location to a Bell central office for use in conjunction with an IRC overseas service (e.g., DATEL). Provides a special transmission and routing arrangement with access to the WATS network and may include domestic satellite avoidance. NON CHANNEL SERVICE EQ- Equipment-Only (Network Element) Assignment: Provides for the assignment of equipment-only network network elements that must be identified in circuit ID format as part of provisioning process. This application includes all stand alone equipment located at the central office and station up to the Network Interface (NI) at the customer's premises. SQ- Equipment-Only (Customer Premises) Assignment: This application includes stand alone equipment located at a station on customer premises side of the Network Interface (NI). The NI will be located between the customer's terminal equipment and its connection to the network elements. WATS SERVICE WI- (800) SERVICE TRUNK: Provides a connection from a PBX, SSN switcher, EPSCS/DNA, Centrex to a WATS central office, 800 Service Trunks provide inward, bulk rate, one-way calling from specified areas to the PBX, SSN Switcher, EPSCS/DNA, turret or Centrex. WO- WATS Line (Out): Connects a station to a WATS Central Office. Outward WATS lines are used exclusively for outgoing, bulk rate calls from the station to specified lines. WS- WATS Trunk (Out): Outward WATS Trunks provide outward bulk rate, one-way calling to specified areas from PBX, SSN Switcher, turret, or Centrex. WX- 800 Serive line: Connects a station to a WATS Centrel Office. 800 Service lines are used exclusively for incomming, bulk rate calls from specified area to the station. WY- WATS Trunk (2-Way): Two-way WATS Trunks provide inward and outward, calling from specified areas and the PBX, SSN Switcher, turret, or Centrex. WZ- WATS Line (2-Way): Connects a station to a WATS Central Office. A two-- way WATS line provides for two-way calling to and from specified areas and the station. FOREIGN EXCHANGE FT- Foreign Exchange Trunk: A voice-grade circuit between a remote Central Office and a Centrex, PBX, ACD, or turret. FX- Foreign Exchange Line: A voice-grade circuit between a remote Central Office and a station. SWITCHED SERVICES NETORK CA- SSN Access: Provides a circuit which connects a main PBX or Centrex that is part of the Switched Services Network to a class SS-1, SS-2, or SS-3 office. CE- SSN Station Line: Provides a connection from a station to an SS-1 to 3 switcher. CN- SSN Network Trunk: Provides a circuit between a class SS-3 or higher switching office in the hierarchy plan or between any two offices in the hub plan. It may also be used to interconnect SSN switcher to systems providing similar switching functions. CT- SSN Tie Trunk: Provides an interconnection between a Satellite or Tributary PBX and a Main PBX or Centrex in the Switched Services Network. NA- CSACC Link (EPSCS): A voice-grade circuit between a switcher on the EPSCS network and the Customer's Service Administrative Control Center (CSACC). It is used for control purposes. ON- Off Network Access Line: Used for interconnection between a Switched Service Network, or EPSCS/DNA and the Message Network. SN- SSN Special Access Termination: A voice-grade channel providing a Special Access Termination (SAT) on an SSN: Such a channel interconnects an SSN with other networks and has unique operating features not represented by other switched network service codes. TIE TRUNKS IT- Intertandem Tie Trunk: Connects two tandem PBXs or Centrexes in a PBX Tie Trunk Network. An Intertandem Tie Trunk may be connected to other Tie Trunks at both ends. SA- Satellite/Tributary Tie Trunk: Interconnects a main PBX or Centrex to a satellite/tributary PBX. When a satellite/tributary PBX is involved, this code takes precedence over tie trunk codes: IT, TA, and TL. TA- Tandem Tie Trunks: Provides an interconnection from a non-tandem PBX ETN Main PBX, or Centrex. A tandem tie trunk may be connected to another tie trunk at one end only with the exception of ETN satellite/tributary arrangements connecting to tie trunks coded 'SA'. TL- Non-Tandem Tie Trunk: Provides interconnection between PBXs, Centrexes, or systems providing similar functions. A Non-Tandem Tie Trunk may not be connected to another Tie Trunk at either end. ============================================================================ This concludes this file on: Bell System Common Language Special Service Circuits Service Codes and Definitions (Part 1) Presented by: The Sensei - The Syndicate Report Released Oct. 17 1986 ============================================================================ Downnloaded from P-80 Systems.....
