ISSUE #:006a
DATE OPENED: 08/26/96
DESCRIPTION: Want to include the NPAC test plan as an appendix to this
test plan.
RESPONSIBILITY: Barry Bishop, Operations Team will contact Donna
Navickas, NPAC team
DATE DUE: 01/06/97
DATE CLOSED:
STATUS: Open
08/26/96 - New Item
08/30/96 - Walt Subora and Barry Bishop will be meeting with the NPAC
team on Sep. 10 and/or 11 to talk about testing, schedules, etc. Will
bring back to this team.
12/11/96 - Discussion of how NPAC would be incorporated.
Most NPAC test plans are currently proprietary. Since they can't be
incorporated in the public test plan, a characterization of the coverage
is necessary in the master test plan, to show that it has been covered.
Sect 4.2.4 of test plan will have a matrix or summary which
characterizes the coverage. Then, at the conclusion of testing,
Lockheed would have to provide documentation of the test results.
01/09/97 - Lockheed will provide the final Turnup Test plan for the
addendum after it is final.
02/13/97 - NPAC committee is formally constructing this test plan and we
will get an update at the next meeting.
04/08/97 - Plan is just about complete. Submit section under final
review. Will get a status after next NPAC meeting. Perhaps a draft
tomorrow.
06/12/97 - Walt will be going to next week s NPAC meeting. He hopes to
get a response then.

ISSUE #:012
DATE OPENED: 10/18/96
DESCRIPTION: Need test scripts for Section 4.14 Choke Networks.
RESPONSIBILITY: Barry Bishop, AIT
DATE DUE: 11/04/96
DATE CLOSED: 06/12/97
STATUS: CLOSED
10/18/96 - New Item
01/09/97 - Still on hold. These numbers are not portable. Providers will
have to hook up to tandem the same as we do to limit calls. Operations
open issue #41.
02/13/97 - Will keep in test plan but will not expand in the Illinois
forum for the MSA1 test. May need to expand when enter other MSA s.
03/11 - someone else in AIT??
04/08/97 - Still an open issue. Barry hopes to resolve in the next
couple of weeks.
05/15/97 - synonymous with mass calling - as soon as we get items from
the Operations team Walt will try to find someone at Ameritech to write
scripts.
06/12/97 - Although it is useful to have test scripts for this, it
appears inappropriate to test during the trial. At least in MSA 1, the
choke network solution as discussed won t be implemented (in an LRN
environment). To discuss with Barry Bishop (Operations Committee) agreed
that this issue is not LRN/LNP and should be closed. Barry agreed to
write wording regarding the resolution for archive purposes.

RESPONSIBILITY: All
DATE DUE: 02/11/97
DATE CLOSED:
STATUS: Open
12/11/96 - Important to do something for post-dial delay, but this is a
very complex subject. It may be cause unnecessary confusion if the job
isn't done right. Will be discussed for issue 2.
01/09/97 - no update.
02/13/97 - Need to come up with a methodology for testing this for the

03/11/97 - Metrics to be handled by SPoC subteam.
04/08/97 - Still open issue.
05/15/97 - post dial delay tests. Being worked by SPoC team. The
conclusion of the Operations team was to measure it and state the
results as fact, but make a judgment as to whether it is good or bad.
The responsibility is that each participating company report their post
dial delay under various scenarios. There is nothing that requires it to
be measured on EACH call. Dick pointed out that each participant is
being required to measure it and state the measurement method. Mitch
Fuchs, AT&T, agreed to write a definition on PDD and give to Bill
Belshaw

reported that porting flows should be available for the SPOC meeting
next week.

meeting.

emphasized that it should come through the normal channels for the start

01/09/97 - New item.

Andy Chalk - non-conforming end office, Nancy DeRoo - 911).

will send them to Bill.
04/08/97 - Nancy s drawings have been given to Bill, along with the test
scripts. They are also on ported.com under the 911 area.
05/15/97 - Walt suggested closing this issue and leave it to those
running ISDN tests to draw out for their own purposes. Will leave open
until the June meeting.
06/12/97 - The only area of concern is with ISDN. Because only Ameritech
(and perhaps Sprint) wants to test ISDN, it may not be a major concern.
Walt was planning to publish (via conference call) the tests that will
be run. This will close after the walk through of the ISDN scripts.

every network that will use the Ameritech LIDB. Since a collect or
third-party-billed call can come from anywhere, the LIDB queries will go
to and from all possible networks. This leads to national compatibility
issues.
Carmen suggested a separate committee for testing of operator services.
There was a requirements OS subgroup. They would be a logical place to
start to constitute such a committee. Barry will check with operations
team to get some names. Could include SMEs from other than the direct
participants on this committee.
