Pre-Order

All requests and inquiries for Optical Wavelength Service require pre-negotiation between your planning organization and your Verizon Account Manager. During the pre-planning process, your Account Manager will provide pricing information, service availability, due dates, as well as coordination with Verizon's Network personnel to provide schematics and check for facilities. After all pre-sale negotiation, pricing, and build of the facility are complete you will submit the ASR for your Optical Wavelength Service (OWS) configuration.

Order

A complete ASR is essential to properly provision and bill OWS access services. The following information pertains to the fields that will impact OWS requests. All fields on the ASR (including those not listed here) must be populated according to the Access Business Rules.

Because this product is ordered under a private carriage agreement (Forbearance) only, the Contract ID must be populated in the PNUM Field on the ASR Form. This identifies the forbearance contract number, and is found in the PNUM field on the ASR. The forbearance contract number will begin with two alphas (FB), followed by numeric (ex: FB12345).
