Mediated Access Electronic Bonding Trouble Administration (MEDIACC-EBTA)

System Description

The MEDIACC-EBTA application provides a common electronic gateway for wholesale Qwest customers to communicate with various Qwest business applications. This application is used primarily to mechanically process telephone circuit repair activities including repair ticket generation and MLT (Mechanized Loop Tests).

MEDIACC-EBTA serves as an electronic gateway to Work Force Administration/Control (WFA/C) and Loop Maintenance Operating System (LMOS) for Inter-Exchange Carriers and CLECs. The WFA/C system is used for Special Services (Design), and the LMOS system is used for Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) (Non-Design).

The MEDIACC-EBTA application is a customer provided interface. The Qwest gateway and associated services can be accessed through the private line Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connection.

MEDIACC-EBTA saves Qwest's wholesale customers time and money by:

  • Adhering to industry standard Open Systems technologies using legacy equipment;
  • Allowing customers to access internal systems through public switching networks; and
  • Providing application-to-application electronic bonding to Customer Access Services via industry standard Open Systems Interconnection/Common Management Information Protocol (OSI/CMIP).

Implementation Process

Implementation of MEDIACC-EBTA is a detailed and lengthy process involving Qwest and the wholesale customer. The steps involved in the implementation process include:

  • Network Connectivity - Private line Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connection;
  • Testing - running of test cases and scenarios; and
  • Testing - running of test cases and scenarios; and Production Readiness - a trial of the maintenance and repair process on real trouble reports.
