STPs shall provide all functions of the MTP as defined in Bellcore ANSI Interconnection Requirements. This includes:
STPs. If BellSouth requires a mediation device on any part of its network specific to this form of access, BellSouth must route its messages in the same manner. The interconnection arrangement shall result in the BellSouth local switch recognizing the ITC/\DeltaCom SCP as at least at parity with BellSouth's SCP's in terms of interfaces, performance and capabilities.
STPs. In those instances when CCS signaling is required under this Agreement each Party is responsible for interconnecting to the other Party’s CCS network. Each Party shall connect to a pair of access STPs in each LATA where traffic will be exchanged or shall arrange for signaling connectivity through a third party provider which is connected to the other Party’s signaling network. The Parties shall establish interconnection at the STP, and other points, as necessary and as jointly agreed to by the Parties.
STPs shall provide all functions of the MTP as specified in ANSI T1.111 (Reference 12.5.2). This includes:
STPs. 7. In the event of the unit failing to fulfill the terms & conditions of Letter Of Permission (LOP) and NFE as prescribed in the STP Scheme, except when the fulfillment of such conditions is prevented or delayed because of any law & order, proclamation, regulation/ordinance of the Government or the shortfall in fulfillment of NFE is within the permissible norms specified in the monitoring guidelines of the STP Scheme given in Foreign Trade Policy, the unit would be liable for penal action under the provisions of Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 and the Rules & Orders made there under.
STPs. 6.9.2 The Signaling Point of Interconnection for each link shall be located at a cross- connect element in the central office where the BellSouth STP is located. There shall be a DS1 or higher rate transport interface at each of the Signaling Points of interconnection. Each signaling link shall appear as a DS0 channel within the DS1 or higher rate interface.
STPs. 10.4.3.16 Each type of interface shall be provided by one or more layers of signaling links.
STPs shall provide all of the technically feasible functions as supported by the type of equipment and as deployed by BA in its network of the MTP as specified in ANSI T1.111 (Reference Section 18.11 ). This may include:
STPs shall provide all functions of the MTP as defined in the applicable industry standard technical references.
STPs. Each Party is responsible for requesting interconnection to the other Party’s CCS network, where SS7 signaling on the trunk group(s) is desired. Each Party shall connect to a pair of access STPs that serve each LATA where traffic will be exchanged using a direct connection to the STPs serving the desired LATA, through designated Ameritech State Gateway STP or through a third party provider which is connected to the other Party’s signaling network. If Carrier does not posses STPs, Carrier may purchase access to Ameritech’s SS7 Network as provided in Ameritech’s Intrastate access tariff(s).
