Unbundled Customer Controlled Rearrangement Element (UCCRE) - V8.0

Product Description

Unbundled Customer Controlled Rearrangement Element (UCCRE) provides the means by which you control the configuration of Unbundled Network Elements (UNEs) or ancillary services on a near real time basis through a digital cross-connect device. UCCRE utilizes the Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS). UCCRE is available in CenturyLink™ Wire Centers that contain a DCS and such DCS is UCCRE compatible. Contact your CenturyLink Service Manager to determine availability.

Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS) ports are Digital Signal Level 1 (DS1), Digital Signal Level 3 (DS3) or Virtual Ports. Virtual Ports are used for connecting one end-user to another. The DCS port is connected to the demarcation point using tie cables using the appropriate Digital System Cross-Connect (DSX) panel. The DSX panel serves both as a "Design-To" point and a network interface at the DCS. You are responsible for designing to the "Design-To" point. You may connect the UCCRE ports to elements or to your own designated equipment. For example, if you desire Digital Signal Level 0 (DS0) port functionality, you will need to order a DS1 UCCRE port and provide your own multiplexer (or DS1 UDIT Multiplexers) and connect them together. This combination will form the equivalent of 24 DS0-level ports.

The reconfiguration of the service is accomplished at the DS0 signal level. Reconfiguration of these services can be accomplished through two methods:

• Dial-up Access
  CenturyLink will provide access to mutually agreed upon UCCRE points in those Central Offices where UCCRE is available.
• Attendant Access
  You have requested that CenturyLink make changes on your behalf.
