CABS Set-Up

Time-saving infrastructure setup
Here is the information you will assemble to enable InterconnecT CABS CG to support your carrier access billing management requirements:

Organizational data: your company name, address, company code, and general ledger account codes.

Tariffs: the effective dates and rates specific to your company. InterconnecT CABS CG comes with interstate and intrastate rates already installed; during installation Intec will specify those unique to your company.

Wire centers: Locations where toll is switched or processed. These include wire centers owned by your company as well as a connecting company on a jointly provided service. The Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) codes, vertical and horizontal (V and H) coordinates, owning company codes, and representative NPA/NXXs are entered in an intuitive data window. (NPA/NXX represents the area code and first three digits of a 7-digit telephone number.) Traffic segments: routes over which certain types of traffic originate and/or terminate.

Carrier data: name, address, and carrier identification code (CIC) for bill submission. The end offices to which the carrier has requested service and the traffic types and feature groups the carrier will utilize are also needed. Special access circuit information or access service requests (ASRs) are required to populate the Special Access tables.

Conversion plan: If you will be using data from your existing system, you will need to identify the data and plan for its conversion. Intec offers custom services to perform this conversion where required.

After the system has been installed, training has been completed, and setup data has been entered, your new InterconnecT CABS CG system will be tested against your previous system (where appropriate) in the form of a parallel billing run.

EASY ACCOUNT SETUP
After your company infrastructure has been created in the system tables, you are ready to build the framework for creating bills. The information for accounts now appears in drop-down lists in the graphical user interface. For most entries, the user merely selects information from a list, eliminating typing errors. If an incorrect selection is made, the system presents an error message. The user must enter or choose the correct data in order to continue the process. The advantage of this design is that no errors will appear downstream to cause delays.

You can create three types of billing accounts:

• Switched
• Facility access
• Billing and collection

Information to be selected includes:

• Wire centers to be billed
• Service codes that apply
• Segments or routes the traffic will take
• Traffic types ordered

For the most part, account setup is a one-time activity. However, if you need to make a change, simply choose the Edit button on the data window to update the information.
