For Sprint line outages (all except Navy, FAA, and Corp of Engineers) notify the SPRINT hotline immediately at 1-800-999-9999. Be prepared to furnish the Sprint hotline with the FMS and VPN identifiers for the appropriate circuit(s), as listed below. Similarly, site maintenance technicians will need to update this form to include the circuit identifiers and trouble ticket logging procedures for non-Sprint circuits (Navy, FAA, and Corp of Engineers), and if applicable, the RDA-to-RPG wideband circuit.

RPG narrowband lines: NBComm Dial-In Edit Screen, and Authorized User List, allow the UCP operator to cross reference all authorized users to the RPG port they access. That information dial or UCP "AD,***, NB,***,DI" or ("VI") screen. Line # is from UCP "U,C" screen. "PORT PSWD" useful for associating "User" to "Line #" and appropriate FMS and VPN. This information is unknown to the Sprint hotline.

Ticket
Severity		 The SMC assigns a severity code to each trouble ticket based upon the nature of the problem. The customer service representative taking your initial call will work with you to assign the appropriate severity code to a problem. The severitycode governs how Sprint escalates internal to Sprint's trouble repair process.


Severity Definition
1 Critical condition at one or more sites

Examples:
· Total out of service condition at one or more sites
· Multiple drop circuit with more than two or more drops out of service

 
2 Out of service condition

Examples:
· Any single dedicated circuit down
· Any single VPN circuit down
· Any point-to-point circuit that is inoperable
· Unable to use VPN on-net dialing
· Significant impact on ability to conduct normal business
 
3 Quality/Connectivity Condition

Examples:
· Intermittent ability to dial-out/connect to one VPN location via on-net dialing due to line quality
· Impaired Private Line which the customer will not release for immediate testing
· Recorded Voice Announcement (RVA's), busies, static, echo, or other quality issues
NOTE: RVA's contain an outage code at the end of the recorded message. Record and report the outage code to SMC when opening trouble tickets.
· Limited impact on ability to conduct normal business
 
4 Non-Duplicateable Quality/Connectivity Condition/RFO/Informational Issues

Examples:
· RVA's, busies, static, echo, or other quality issues
· Reason for Outage (RFO)
· Information or non-service affection condition, monitor only
· Inquires of the customers service
