Methods for Interconnection. Where the Parties interconnect, for the purpose of exchanging traffic between networks, the Parties may use the following interconnection methods of each Tandem and End Office identified in Appendix DCO making use of facilities they own or lease from a third party. 4.3.1 Physical Collocation Interconnection ("PCI") - Where Optel provides fiber cable and connects to its equipment located in the SWBT Wire Center. Optel owns and maintains Optel's equipment. 4.3.2 Virtual Collocation Interconnection ("VCI") - Where Optel provides fiber cable to SWBT for connection to Optel-designated basic transmission equipment dedicated solely for Optel's use, located in the SWBT Interconnection Wire Center. SWBT owns and maintains the basic transmission equipment at the SWBT Interconnection Wire Center. This option shall be consistent with the terms of SWBT's virtual collocation tariff. 4.3.3 SONET-Based Interconnection ("SBI") - Where Optel provides fiber cable to SWBT for connection to SWBT-designated basic transmission equipment located at the SWBT Interconnection Wire Center (SIWC) and dedicated solely for Optel's use. SWBT owns and maintains the basic transmission equipment. This option shall be consistent with SWBT's SBI tariff. 4.3.4 Leased Facility Interconnection ("LFI") - Where facilities exist, either Party may lease facilities from the other Party. 4.3.5 Mid-span Fiber Interconnection ("MSFI") - Where the Parties agree to interconnect through SONET technology, a Fujitsu originating line terminating multiplexer fiber optic terminal ("FOT") shall be used. Mid-Span Fiber Interconnection (MSFI) between Southwestern ▇▇▇▇ Telephone (SWBT) and LSP can occur at any mutually agreeable, economically and technically feasible point between LSP's premises and a SWBT tandem or end office. This interconnection will be on a point-to-point SONET system over single mode fiber optic cable. 4.3.5.1 MSFI may be used to provide interconnection trunking as defined in Attachment ITR. 4.3.5.2 There are two basic mid-span interconnection designs: a. Design One: LSP's fiber cable and SWBT's fiber cable are connected at an economically and technically feasible point between the LSP location and the last entrance manhole at the SWBT central office. The Parties may agree to a location with access to an existing SWBT fiber termination panel. In these cases, the network interconnection point (POI) shall be designated outside of the GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAGE 12 OF 52 SWBT/Optel J130 SWB...
