Service Delivery / CPE


For PRI service, Comcast will install 2
CPE – an eMTA (or cable modem) and
an IAD

The eMTA (or cable modem) provides a
DOCSIS interface and provides a data
port as well as 2 Line ports.
    •   The data port is used to connect to the IAD


The IAD connects to the customer PBX
    •   Customer facing PRI is via an RJ-48 C
Special Topics – e911


E911
   • Comcast provides two options for e911 calling support
       – OPTION 1: Comcast will capture location information for the Billing Telephone Number (BTN) of the
         trunk group
       – OPTION 2: Comcast can capture location information for up to 10 Telephone Numbers (TNs)
               This requires the customer’s PBX technician to ensure the correct TN is sent to Comcast
               This is a convenient way to provide more granular location information, perhaps by fire zones or floors

   • Customer is always responsible for ensuring location information is current /
     updated with Comcast
       – Regulations concerning the provision of location information to the ALI databases varies by state and
         many states are currently updating their laws. Customer must also ensure they are in compliance
         with the most current laws and requirements.

Comcast offers 3 levels of Calling international to reduce exposure to toll fraud
    •   Domestic LD Only - Includes US-50, Canada, US Territories
    •   Limited International – Opens up access to lower cost countries, except black list destinations
    •   Expanded International – opens up access to all countries served by Comcast, except black list countries
    •   Comcast also implements a black list of countries where the suspected fraud is highest
A customer may select / swap options based on their current needs at no cost

Comcast Fraud Policy
    •   The customer is responsible for all usage charges incurred with the service
    •   The customer is expected to secure their facilities to protect against unwanted usage
    •   Comcast monitors for fraud and will take actions necessary to protect both the integrity of
