1038 Network Reconfiguration

This feature provides ESPs flexibility in managing and reconfiguring their 
dedicated facilities.  This arrangement involves providing to a customer access
to a control port on a digital cross-connect system (DCS).  This service enables
the re-connection (grooming) of one to 24 DS0 channels within a group of DS1s 
such that the destination of each DS0 can be changed.  Reconfiguration at 
higher or lower transmission speeds may also be provided.  A subscriber could 
control their dedicated channels in any combination between locations designated
on their private network.

FEATURE OPERATION:
Network Reconfiguration under ESP control is initialized by setting up a 
database for ESP access consisting of circuit identifications, customer 
locations, security passwords, etc.  This database is then accessed by the ESP 
to make their own DS1 or DS0 routing rearrangements within a Digital 
Cross-connect System (DCS).

TECHNOLOGICAL AND FEATURE INTERACTION CONSIDERATIONS:
1. This feature is available only in conjunction with Digital
   Cross-connect System (DCS) frames located in the telephone company Hub 
   and/or Digital Serving Node locations.  ESP/ESP's client facilities will have
   to route to the above mentioned DCS frames.

2. Check with your local telephone company in order to determine availability 
   of Extended Superframe Format (ESF) with Network Reconfiguration.

3. All bridging and subrating of services is to be provided outside of the
   DCS devices.  The DCS devices are only used for cross-connecting DS0s.
