Notes to completion of Table 1:

·	The data must be presented by the Operator in the Excel format.

·	A template for initial submission by the Operator of the numbering capacities, as well as a file for introduction of modifications in the numbering capacities shall be provided by Rostelecom.

·	The Operator having branches (zone operators - cities/towns) shall generate a consolidated report on the numbering capacities of all the Associated Operators operating in all ABC zones.

·	General rules for filling in the template:

	·	Column 1 “short name of the Operator/Operator’s branch” (column A) shall be used to specify the name of the city where the Associated Operator operates. The city name shall be selected from the offered list.

	·	Column 2 “Settlement / Out of Settlement Attribute” shall be used to specify the territorial quality attribute (within the bounds a settlement, outside of a settlement) of the Associated Operator, or an attribute of a cellular operator whose numbering capacity is shown in that

		row in columns 5, 6, 7 - blank/STL/OUT/DEF. The attribute shall be selected from the drop-down list. One and the same associated operator may be identified by two attributes. Some of the numbering capacity shall be specified with the STL attribute, and the other part with the OUT attribute. Lack of any attribute, i.e. the “blank” value of the attribute, shall be specified for the Operator who has no separate geographical tariffication.

	·	Column 3 “Agreement number” shall be used to specify the number of the agreement with the given Associated Operator (an optional field).

Structure of data

Each data file shall be structured as follows:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“encoding”?>

<main version=“version” file_number=“file_number” keyword=“keyword”

send_from=“company_id” creation_date=“creation_date” check_sum=“check_sum”>

. . .

</main>

,where encoding – coding reference designation applied for text file.

For files MS Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP: windows-1251,

For files MS DOS: cp866,

For files Linux: koi8-r.

Version – version of communication protocol (current version 1.0)

File_number – ordinal number of the file transferred (within the company)

Keyword – key word applied as an extra identifier of the sending company

Company_id – value of the Sending_Company_Code – of the operator which is unique and is issued by Rostelecom in the course of the Agreement execution.

Creation_date – data and time of the file in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (YYYY – year (4 digits), MM – number of month in a year (2 digits), DD – day of month (2 digits), T – separating symbol – an English letter ‘T’, HH – hour (24-hour format), mm – minutes (2 digits), ss – seconds (2 digits))

Check_sum – reference amount of the file body (data between tags <main> and </<\main>), calculated by algorythm MD5.

Record <xxx> is subsequently denominated an opening tag and </xxx> - a closing tag xxx. Tag declaration should contain no spaces and tabs. The body between an opening tag <xxx> and a closing tag </xxx> is called section xxx.

Therefore each file contains a header and a section main. Section main in its turn contains one or more sections insert, update or delete.

Section insert indicates that the information contained between the tags must be included into database.

— frame

</insert>

Section update indicates that the information with properties between the tags must be modified in database..

— frame

</update>

Section delete indicates that the information between the tags must be deleted from database.

— frame

</delete>

, where oper_date – effective date of operation (for example, connection of a telephone number, changes of details) in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (YYYY – year (4 digits), MM – number of month in a year (2 digits), DD – day of month (2 digits), T – separating symbol – an English letter ‘T’, HH – hour (24-hour format), mm – minutes (2 digits), ss – seconds (2 digits)

Frame shall be structured as follows:

</object_1>

Object – a section with simple and complex attributes identified by a property. Current version defines an object as a subscriber identified by property subscriber_id and phone identified by property phone_number. There may be no more that one object with the same name and identification property within a parent section.

Property – object identifier.

Complex attribute – a section containing simple and complex properties. There may be no more that one complex object with the same name within a parent section.

Simple attribute – a property (feature) of an object or complex attribute which value may be set or changed. Simple attribute contains only one value changeable in section Update by tags <old> and <new>. Sample of editing simple attribute within an object:

<edited_simple_attribute>

<old>old_attribute_value</old>

<new>new_attribute_value</new>

</edited_simple_attribute>

. .. .

</object>

To modify a simple attributes included into a complex one all old and new attributes must be entered with new and old values.

Sample of editing simple attribute within a complex attribute:
