Detailed Information

The Extended Dedicated Trunk Port provides a two-point electrical communications path between the Verizon Unbundled Local End Office Switch and a CLEC central office location. It provides for the ability to custom route off the Verizon unbundled local switch, through an Extended Dedicated Trunk Port, to another switch location in the same LATA where it is provided.

The Extended Dedicated Trunk Port provides for a DS1 switch termination on the trunk side of the originating end office switch (where the CLEC has UNE Line Ports, and requests custom routing to dedicated facilities), and the DS1 transmission path between the central office locations. Additionally, if the CLEC is requesting dedicated transmission facilities between two Verizon switches, Extended Dedicated Trunk Port provides for the DS1 switch termination on the trunk side of the terminating Verizon switch.

If the CLEC intends to route such traffic off the Unbundled Local End Office Switch not to another Verizon switch, but to its own central office, and requests a DS3 interface, multiplexing is required. Verizon will provide the DS1 Trunk Port connection off the originating Unbundled Local End Office Switch to a DS3 to DS1 multiplexer (mux) and DS3 transport to terminate at the CLEC central office location. When the CLEC requests a DS3 termination, the CLEC must establish the DS3 dedicated transport and multiplexing associated with the Extended Dedicated Trunk Port before requesting the DS1 trunk port and applicable transport connection to the DS3 to DS1multiplexer. This requirement ensures the CLEC can provide Verizon with the appropriate connecting facility assignment (CFA) information about where on the DS3 to DS1multiplexer to terminate the trunk port.

Access to the Extended Dedicated Trunk Port is from the Unbundled Local End Office Switch where the CLEC has established Unbundled Line Port customers.

Limitations

Mutiplexers that are combined with trunk ports may not be used for Expanded Extended Loop (EEL), which may not be connected to a Verizon switch.

Verizon's National Market Center is the single point of contact for Extended Dedicated Trunk Port requests in Verizon. The CLEC may order an Extended Dedicated Trunk Port from its Unbundled Local End Office Switch location to terminate to another central office location, in the same LATA, using industry standard Access Service Requests (ASRs).
