North American Numbering Plan
The software configuration within the Meridian 1 Option 11C Compact that
allows the user access to the public network must be re-programmed to
recognize newly established network area codes as they are placed in service.
Failure to re-program the system to recognize the new codes as they are
established may restrict the customer and the customer’s employees from
gaining access to the network and these codes.
Bell Communications Research (BellCore) publishes the North American
Numbering Plan (NANP) on paper, microfiche and tape. An abbreviated
summary of the newly established area codes and exchange codes is
available. BellCore may be contacted at (608) 699-6700 to obtain appropriate
information to keep customer equipment upgraded.
Equal Access
This equipment is capable of providing users access to interstate providers of
operator services through the use of access codes. Modification of this
equipment by call aggregators to block access dialing codes is a violation of
the Telephone Operator Consumers Act of 1990.
