CORA 24.0
CORA 24.0 Edits and
Enhancements
CORA 24.0: New Validations
•EVCSP (Ethernet Virtual Connection Switch Point) is being modified specific to CTL as:
• To only allow 11 character CLLI codes.
•LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is being modified as:
• Prohibited when the ACT field is not "N", "C", or "D" and the REQTYP is
not "E" or "S". An entry of "N" or "E" is prohibited if the QTY field is
populated with a value greater than 8. An entry of N or E is only valid
when the SPEC field is MOENN, BGPLU, G8032 and MCLAG.
•ASN (Autonomous System Number) is being added with the following requirement:
• If the ASN is populated the VPN-ID field is required.
•VPN-ID (Virtual Private Network Identifier) is being added with the following requirement:
• Required when ordering EVC SPEC = BGPLU and ASN is populated and
all of the associated S-VLAN fields are not populated. When ordering VPNID the range must be 0 (zero) to 4294967295 this is the only valid range.
9
CORA 24.0:Changed Validations
•EVC SVLAN (Service Virtual Local Area Network)
• At least the first occurrence of the SVLAN field is required when the
associated UACT field is C, the associated NCI code contains a "V" in the
7th position and the 9th position is a “T”. (EXAMPLE: NCI = 02VLN.VxT)
• If the SVLAN is not populated, the UACT is "C", the 7th position of the
NCI is "V" and the 9th position is a “T”, present a new edit: Required
when the associated UACT field is "C" and the associated NCI code
specifies an S-VLAN based map.
• Any entry in SVLAN is prohibited when the 7th position of the NCI field is
not "V“ and the 9th position is a “T”.
• If any SVLAN is populated, and the 7th position of the NCI field is not "V"
and the 9th position is a “T”, present a new edit: Prohibited when the
associated NCI code does not specify an S-VLAN based map.
• SVLAN is prohibited when VPN-ID is populated.
10
CORA 24.0 REQTYP for Ring
Remove the REQTYP edit for Ring as indicated below:
• The circuit ID in the ASR ECCKT field begins with "HN”:
ACT = C, D, M, or R
REQTYP = R
11
CORA 24.0: GUI Modifications
• Service Type field will be modified:
• Remove EVC - Combo - End User (E) and EVC - Combo - Transport (S).
• Replace with EVC - Combo (E,S). REQTYP E requires a SALI form.
REQTYP S prohibits the SALI form. SES - Switched Ethernet Services (E,
S).
Note: customer would select REQTYP of E or S manually. REQTYP E
requires a SALI form. REQTYP S prohibits the SALI form.
12
CORA 24.0: GUI Modifications
•Reports Tab
• Remove EVC - Combo - End User and EVC - Combo – Transport.
• Replace with EVC – Combo - Switched Ethernet in the "Service Type"
pull down.

•Reports Tab New
• In the “Select Service Type” pull down a new option of Switched Eternet
form (with E or S as REQTYP) will be available.

CORA 24.0: GUI Modifications
•Restructure Function
• If a customer requests a Combo (SES & EVC) and wants to change to SES
or EVC only, this change would only apply prior to ASR being submitted.
•SALI SANO
• When the REQTYP is E and the SEI field = Y, the customer is required to
populate the SALI.SANO and SALI.SASN fields. The entry in the SI field
must be a "C" if populated.
•SALI SPOT
• When the REQTYP is E and the SEI field = Y, the customer is required to
populate the SALI.SI and SALI.SPOT fields. The entry in the SPOT field
must be a valid 8 or 11 CLLI code.
15
CORA 24.0: GUI Modifications
• SALI (Service Address Location Information) for SES (Switched Ethernet
Services) field will be modified:
• For REQTYP = E a tab will be labeled as Priloc SALI.
• Replace with EVC - Combo (E,S) Note: customer will be required to select
REQTYP of E or S manually. REQTYP E requires a SALI form. REQTYP S
prohibits the SALI form. SES - Switched Ethernet Services (E, S).
