								Identifies the electrical or optical conditions at the interface.  The interface being the ACTL/Primary Location.   1. Total Conductors - Positions 1 and 2 identify the total number of physical conductors (e.g., wires) required at the interface (2 numeric characters).  2. Protocol - Positions 3 and 4 identify the requirements for the interface regarding signaling and transmission  (2 alpha characters).  3. Impedance - Position 5 identifies the nominal reference impedance that will terminate the channel for the purpose of evaluating transmission performance (1 alpha/numeric character).  4. Delimiter #1 - Position 6 identifies the start of the protocol option field if a protocol option code is assigned.  5. Protocol Options - Positions 7, 8 and 9 identify additional features (e.g., bit rate, bandwidth, etc.) on the protocol to be used (3 alpha/numeric characters).     6. Delimiter #2 - Position 10 identifies the start of the Transmission Level Points (TLP) field if a TLP is assigned.  7. Transmission Level - Positions 11 and 12 identify the TLPs from either the exchange carrier /service provider or customer end. |
