1036 Verify Integrity of Subscriber Lines

This capability allows an ESP to be signaled by central office equipment every 
60 seconds or less to report on the integrity of the ESP's client's lines that 
are being monitored for breaks.  Scanning equipment located in the central 
office and equipment located on the ESP's client's premises check the client's 
line within 60 second intervals.  If the ESP's client's line has been disabled,
the BOC central office equipment will automatically notify the ESP of its
client's line disablement.

FEATURE OPERATION:
1. ESP clients with this capability will have their line connected to a scanning
   device in the central office upon receipt of an order by the telephone
   company.

2. Compatible CPE is placed on the client's premises by the ESP and is connected
   to the telephone line.

3. The scanner will periodically poll each client's line for a signal.  Lack of
   a signal will indicate a line break.

   over a dedicated link or a dial-up connection.

TECHNOLOGICAL AND FEATURE INTERACTION CONSIDERATIONS:

   equipment is used on the client's line.
