Our DSLAM’s and Pots/Switch provisioning is done through our billing system by the CSR’s.
For example a customer wants to change tiers – The CSR changes their speed in the billing system then the provisioning portion goes out and changes the profile attached to their DSLAM port. Same with POTS services ie call waiting etc. the provisioning logs into the switch and sets the features on their line. Our OSP techs still provisions and installs the CPE/Modem on site for the customer for new customers. Our test sets (Sunset hand testers), will authenticate pppoe and do basic tests ping traceroute and pull up webpages. It will also act as a dsl modem/router.
