alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement in advance or after it has been fully tested for each wireline
equivalency feature. However, a 9 -1 -1 administrative entity may approve the alternative
arrangement conditioned on subsequent full and successful testing of each wireline
equivalency feature based on CTU's representation and warrant to satisfy such prior to
transmitting live wholesale or end user traffic.
4. CTU assumes total responsibility for all facts, representations, and conditions associated
with its Warrant herein and compliance with all applicable state and federal 9 -1 -1
requirements to its wholesale and end user traffic.
CTU Attestation of Acceptance of Warrant by 9 -1 -1 Administrative Entities:
1. Each 9 -1 -1 administrative entity identified in Attachment A has reviewed the CTU
Warrant of Unnecessary Dedicated 9 -1 -1 Trunks and has indicated its acceptance based
on the CTU's warrant and prior approval by the affected 9 -1 -1 administrative entity of
CTU's alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement (including, but not limited to, testing of applicable
9 -1 -1 alternative arrangement) or conditioned on the representation by CTU that such 9-
1-1 testing of alternative arrangement will be successfully completed prior to handling
live wholesale or end user traffic.

Description of CTU's alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement
TWCIS (TX) will transmit incoming emergency 9 -1 -1 calls to each public service answering
point ( "PSAP ") via NENA 08 -001 Interim VoIP Architecture for Enhanced 9 -1 -1 Services ( "i2 ")
data links provided by Intrado Inc., TWCIS (TX)'s third party VoIP Positioning Center ( "VPC ")
and Emergency Services Gateway ( "ESGW ") service provider. For each incoming 9 -1 -1
emergency call, TWCIS (TX) will dynamically assign a pseudo Automatic Number
Identification ( "pANI ") that will correspond to the Automatic Location Identification ( "ALI ")
record containing the caller's name, call -back number and Master Street and Address Guide
( "MSAG ") validated location. For each 9 -1 -1 call, TWCIS (TX) will also provide wireline
equivalent Emergency Service Number ( "ESN ") and English Language Translation ( "ELT ")

Acceptance of CTU's warrant and approval of CTU's alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement:
9 -1 -1 Administrative Agency
Corpus Christi Police Department
The Corpus Christi Police Department expresses to Time Warner Cable and others that
installation of 9 -1 -1 trunks that will not be used by the carrier as a part of local interconnection
are unnecessary if the 9 -1 -1 trunks will not be used in the provision of 9 -1 -1 service. As long as
Time Warner Cable agrees currently, and an ongoing basis, that the current level of 9 -1 -1 service
available to end user customers is not to be degraded, and that identified issues will be addressed
promptly by appropriate corrective action to maintain such as may be identified, continuing
collaboration, cooperation, and discussions as far as the service description represented in
Attachment A of the circulating unnecessary 9 -1 -1 trunk waiver appears reasonable at this time.
We expect Time Warner Cable to provide the highest level of 9 -1 -1 service comparable to other
similarly situated carriers, to be compliant with industry and NENA standards, and to implement
applicable new industry and NENA standards and applicable regulations promptly and without
delay. As we do with other carriers, we will attempt to bring to Time Warner Cable's attention
issues that come to our attention, and expect Time Warner Cable to resolve such issues in a
timely manner, as is expected of other carriers.
In addition, as opportunities become available to go beyond the current level of 9 -1 -1 service and
improve on it, Time Warner Cable's full cooperation and collaboration is expected. As such, we
accept Time Warner Cable's representations under these conditions and terms, conditioned upon
Time Warner Cable acknowledging and committing to all of the points and terms noted above,
and the other represented items in the waiver associated with not installing unnecessary 9 -1 -1
trunks.

9 -1 -1 administrative agency's approval of CTU's alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement is and should be
considered:
Approval of CTU's alternative 9 -1 -1 arrangement;
X Conditioned on the representation by CTU that 9 -1 -1 testing of alternative arrangement
will be successfully completed prior to handling live wholesale or end user traffic. The Corpus
Christi Police Department provides the attached VPC Wireline i2 Equivalency Testing document
to provide guidance to Time Warner Cable on testing and notification policies.

VPC
W_ ireline i2 Equivalency Testing
Version 4 — December 22, 2010
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to 9 -1 -1 Entities and VoIP Position
Center (VPC) providers on testing and notification policies required to provision wireline
i2 equivalency for Enhanced 9 -1 -1 service.
REQUIREMENTS
Re uirements for the VPC database providers:
• The VPC must MSAG validate the ALI records and assign wireline ESNs.
• The ALI records must display valid ELTs that match the wireline ESN. (This
should be a function of the ESQK shell record and not be dependent on the VPC
inserting the ELT into the response to the steered ALI query. This ensures the
features and functions in the SR follow tandem translations written for the ESN
used to selectively route the call.)
• The ALI records must display the correct and appropriate class of service code
for the caller. (This relies on LSPsNSPs to convey correct COS to the VPC.)
The ALI records must display the NENA ID of the service provider in the ALI record, not
just the NENA ID of the VPC
TEST PROCEDURES
Testing is comprised of:
• Data Verification Confirm ESQK shell record load via manual query or via 9 -1-
1 IM query.
• Route Test Performed to ensure correct routing. One test call per ESN.
• Full Test Performed to ensure address MSAG validation, selective routing, call
transfer (as applicable), and valid ALI delivery. One third of each ESN's
assigned ESQK quantity will be tested.
DATA VERIFICATION:
1) 9 -1 -1 Entity must receive a completed version of the Spreadsheet Attachment,
per the VPC Agreement, prior to scheduling testing.
2) 9 -1 -1 Entity will confirm ESQK to ESN relationships as identified on Attachment
A of the VPC Agreement.
3) VPC will provide the 9 -1 -1 Entity with written confirmation on completion of shell
record and selective routing record loads.
4) 9 -1 -1 Entity will conduct a manual or 9 -1 -1 IM query on each ESQK to verify shell
record load and assigned ESN and correct NENA ID.
5) Any errors or omissions will be reported to the VPC for action.

Wireline i2 EQUivalency,,Testing
Version 4 — December 22, 2010
ROUTE TEST
VPC will contact 9 -1 -1 Entity to schedule testing. A minimum of five days advanced
notice is required to ensure ample time to coordinate with the affected PSAPs. The 9-
1-1 Entity reserves the right to waive the five day advanced notice at their discretion.
1) VPC will generate one test per ESN to verify:
• The call routes to the correct PSAP
• Display of ALI record
• COS= V (Vol P)
• ESQK
• Wireline ESN
• Wireline ELT
• Community Name
2) The VPC will provide to the 9 -1 -1 Entity upon request a final Route Test
Verification Report identifying the time, date and ESQK of each test call. The 9-
1-1 Entity may decide to deploy staff resources to the PSAPs to assist in route
test validation.
FULL TEST
VPC will contact 9 -1 -1 Entity to schedule testing. A minimum of five days advanced
notice is required to ensure ample time to coordinate with the affected PSAPs. The 9 -1-
1 Entity reserves the right to waive the five day advanced notice at their discretion.
1) VPC will test at least one -third of the ESQK quantity assigned per ESN, with a
minimum of two test calls per an ESN's assigned ESQK range.
2) Each wireline ESN test record will be provisioned with a MSAG valid street
address. One additional default test call will be performed per PSAP.
3) 9 -1 -1 Entity will work with VPC tester to validate PSAP routing and ALI display on
each test call. The following must be confirmed on each test call:
• Call back number
• MSAG valid address
• ESQK
• Class of Service = V (VolP) or expanded CoS code if deployed
• NENA ID = VSP NENA ID
• Wireline ESN
• Wireline ELT
• Community Name
• XIY coordinate

Version 4 — December 22, 2010
OPTIONAL VALIDATION BY 9 -1 -1 ENTITY
• 9 -1 -1 Entity may verify ALI interface with each PSAPs CAD system.
• 9 -1 -1 Entity may verify X/Y coordinate and icon display on Mapped ALI system.
9 -1 -1 Entity may need to consider adding new VoIP classes of service to their
Mapped ALI configurations to ensure proper display.
• 9 -1 -1 Entity may verify call transferring.
TESTING RESERVATIONS
• VPC should not conduct any testing without prior consent from the 9 -1 -1 Entity.
• The conditional one -third ESQK test requirement is subject to change pending
the outcome of the Bexar Metro pilot deployment.
• The 9 -1 -1 Entity reserves the right to require additional testing (i.e. entire ESQK
range assigned to an ESN) if routing and/or ALI display issues are encountered
during the Full Test.
• The 9 -1 -1 Entity and VPC will coordinate future testing to validate the VPC's
ability to send expanded VOIP class of service codes if VPC is unable to meet
the expanded codes requirement at initial deployment.
• A minimum of two test calls per PSAP are required on any testing conducted by
the VSP subsequent to initial deployment. Testing should include confirmation of
PSAP routing and display of the following ALI information:
o Call back number
o MSAG valid address
o ESQK
o Class of Service = V (VoIP) or expanded CoS code if deployed
o NENA ID = VSP NENA ID
o Wireline ESN
o Wireline ELT
o Community Name
o X/Y coordinate
