[VoiceOps] New Exchange 217/777

Tue Jul 15 14:54:51 EDT 2014

New CO Office Codes have a 45-60 day turn up period from the time the NeuStar/NANPA Part 3 form is approved. Technically, when the code administrator puts the NPA-NXX into the LERG, anybody with access to BIRRDS can look it up and program their switch accordingly, but it's not mandatory. We subscribe to LERG Updates quarterly, and would download the LERG files to parse out what is new for that quarter. We add the translations for new codes and remove them for disconnecting codes.

There may be automated ways of checking the LERG and updating translation tables, but it's still a manual process for most. Fat-fingering translations can cause big problems, so we tread lightly.

For official numbering information, including the timeframes the numbering industry goes by, the ATIS website has links to numbering guidelines:
http://www.atis.org/inc/incguides.asp
- Central Office Code (NXX) Assignment Guidelines (COCAG) link and
- Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X) Pooling Administration Guidelines (TBPAG).
