5. PERMANENT ASSEMBLIES
|
||
|
||
5.1 Create a Permanent Assembly (CAY)
|
||
|
||
Transaction CAY associates a group of facilities as an assembly. Permanent
|
||
Assemblies may be created from facilities which have spare (SF), reserved (RS),
|
||
avaliable (AV), miscellaneous (MS), official (OF), trunk injector (TJ), test
|
||
(TS) or working (WK) status. Facilities that have an excluded (EX), left-in
|
||
(LI) or unknown (UK) status, may not be part of a Permanent Assembly.
|
||
|
||
When a Permanent Assembly is created, the status of non- working facilities
|
||
will be changed to reserved and will be assigned an assembly code will be
|
||
assigned to the facilities.
|
||
|
||
Although Permanent Assemblies may be created using a combination of working
|
||
facilities and spare facilities, service orders that are issued against such
|
||
assemblies are blocked. Therefore, it is recommended that Permanent Assemblies
|
||
using a combination of working and spare facilities not be created.
|
||
|
||
In an operational wire center, if an assembly is to be made permanent in
|
||
COSMOS, an assembly catagory (AC) of "PERM" must be specified on the CAY input.
|
||
In a data conversion wire center, Permanent Assemblies are assumed, so the input
|
||
of "AC PERM" is not required.
|
||
|
||
System generated codes identify Permanent Assemblies on output by one
|
||
alphabetic character. All alphabetic characters are randomly assigned except S,
|
||
T, and Z. When associated with a facility, these alphabetic characters
|
||
indicate:
|
||
|
||
S = Suspended Cricuit
|
||
T = Reserved for TIRKS (Trunk Inventoried Record Keeping System)
|
||
Z = Assembled facilities that have been suspended. More than one group of
|
||
assembled facilities may show the same assembly code tag. This does not imply
|
||
that all facilities with the same tag are assembled to each other; they must
|
||
also be in the same circuit to be assembled to each other. Each code may be
|
||
used more than once.
|
||
|
||
When a Permanent Assembly is deleted, the assembly code tag is removed from
|
||
the facilities. Non-working facilities will return to a spare status.
|
||
Equivalent working facilities will retain their present status.
|
||
|
||
Permanent Assemblies can be created from any combination of the following
|
||
facilities:
|
||
|
||
Telephone Number (TN)
|
||
Line Equipment (OE)
|
||
Cable Pair (CP)
|
||
Tie Pair (TP)
|
||
Bridge Lifter (BL)
|
||
Trunk (TK)
|
||
Concentrator (CON)
|
||
Message register (MR)
|
||
Special Equipment (SE)
|
||
|
||
Automatically Assigned Relays - Advanced (AR), Sleeve- Connect (SC), Tens
|
||
Block Auxiliary (TBA), and Tens Block Screening (TBS) types
|
||
|
||
Non-Inventoried Relays (RLY)
|
||
Terminal (TER)
|
||
X-Number (XN)
|
||
Private Lines (PL)
|
||
Transimission Equpitment (TRE)
|
||
|
||
At least one inventoried facility, PL or TER must be entered into the assembly
|
||
before any SEs, non-inventoried TKs, or CONs.
|
||
|
||
----------
|
||
* When a working relay, (both inventoried and non- inventoried) which os part
|
||
of a Permanent Assembly is disconnected, COSMOS does not presently have the
|
||
capability of updating the relay files and table to reflect this disconnect.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Coordination between the LAc and the FCC (Frame Control Center) is required to
|
||
establish Permanent Assemblies on both spare and working facilities.
|
||
|
||
The following examples illustrate various functions of transactions CAY
|
||
(Create an Assembly) and ISH (Circuit Inquiry).
|
||
|
||

|

5.2 Modify a Permanent Assembly
|
||
|
||
Transaction MAY is used to modify a Permanent Assembly (in instances when a
|
||
service order is being changed, etc. ). The assembly to be modified must be
|
||
identified by an inventoried facility (other than AR, SC, TBA), a PL or a TER on
|
||
the H- line. Facilities to be added are entered on I-Lines. Facilities to be
|
||
deleted are entered on 0-Lines. The input of assembly category (AC) PERM is not
|
||
requied on the H-line input for MAY. The Permanent Assembly tag will be removed
|
||
from the outgoing facility and transferred to the incoming facility at the
|
||
completion of the MAY transaction.
|
||
|
||
When MAY is completed, the outgoing facility (s) that had a reserved status
|
||
will be changed to "spare" status. If the outgoing facility is presently
|
||
working, the status will remain the same.
|
||
|
||
Incoming facilities that are spare will be changed to a "reserved" status.
|
||
Incoming facilities that are working will retain that status.
|
||
|
||

|
||

5.3 Delete a Permanent Assembly (DAY)
|
||
|
||
Transaction DAY deletes an entire assembly. Required O-line entry identifies
|
||
one inventoried facility (other than AR, SC, or TBA), a TER or a PL.
|
||
|
||
When transaction DAY is completed, the Permanent Assembly tag is removed from
|
||
the outgoing facilities.
|
||
|
||
The outgoing facilities that had a "reserved" status will be changed to
|
||
"spare" and will be available for assignment. Facilities that have a working
|
||
status will retain their status.

5.4 Maintenance Change Tickets and Permanent Assemblies
|
||
|
||
Transaction MCE (MaintenanceS Change Establish) is used to replace any
|
||
physical facility on a given circuit, in responce to a SMaintenance Change
|
||
Ticket (MCT). SWhen an MCE is run against a facility that is permanently
|
||
assembled, the facilities in the assembly will be removed from the circuit along
|
||
with the facility being removed. In the following sequence it is assumed that
|
||
the user wished to keep the other assembled facilities in the circuit.
|
||
|
||
Example 11: ISH of a circuit containing a Permanent Assembly. The SE in
|
||
thSis case represents an apartment house door answering service termination.
