1. Illinois FCC Field Test Time Line

The following is the proposed Illinois FCC Field Test schedule. The Testing Committee and the Single Point of Contact Task Force will approve the final test schedule.

The proposed schedule offers one way of completing the Field Testing in a reasonable amount of time. It will remain flexible until actual testing starts in order to accommodate each participant's unique network situation. All LSPs that are ready to provide LNP services on a commercial and who's technical representative signs an affidavit indicating same no later than July 24, 1997 will be participants in the Illinois FCC Field Test..

The initial plan assumed the following:

• Each switch will run approximately 50 test scripts each day.
• Testing begins by approximately 12 PM on Monday of each week and concludes at approximately 12 PM on Friday, unless pre-scheduled.
• Necessary changes to switches will be completed between noon on Friday and noon on Monday.

The Testing Committee determined that it is not necessary to complete a script for each combination of network elements. This schedule is representative and is intended to be used as a reference only.
