Telcordia® LERG™ Routing Guide

Scroll down for a downloadable product sample

The LERG Routing Guide is the most comprehensive routing data output available from TRA.  Data supports the current local exchange network within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and identifies reported planned changes in the network.  The LERG Routing Guide is primarily designed to be used for routing of calls by service providers (wireless, wireline, inter and intra exchange, etc.).  It also supports functions such as networking planning and engineering, numbering administration, and is used by companies, including many outside of the telecommunications industry, to support a wide range of business operations and planning needs.  The LERG has been in existence since 1984, and provides for a common basis for service providers within the NANP to directly report their numbering and routing information.   The LERG is supported by integrated and quality-oriented industry processes and is similarly supported by TRA.  Data in the LERG includes, but is not limited to:

  • Operating Company Numbers, Company Names, Routing Contacts
  • Country Code Assignments
  • NPA Information (i.e., Area Codes)
  • LATA Codes By Region
  • Destination Codes (i.e. NPA NXX and Thousands-Blocks) (details on over 500,000 assignments)
  • Oddball NXXs (e.g. 911, 976)
  • Switching Entity Record detail (e.g. Equipment Type, V&H Coordinates)
  • Rate Center details (e.g. V&H Coordinates) and Localities (including county and postal codes)
  • Switch Homing Arrangements (tandem and other switch-to-switch interconnections)
  • Operator Access Tandem Codes (ATCs)
  • Location Routing Numbers (LRNs)

The LERG Routing Guide provided on CD-ROM and via the TRA Product Distribution System (PDS) includes a Microsoft® Access database version of the data in addition to fix formatted data files.  The Access database version of the LERG provides a graphical user interface front end to access and view data records using a TRA designed "form view" as well as Access "table views".  The database requires users to have a local licensed copy of Access.  Users with a basic knowledge of Microsoft Access can easily search for specific data elements, create customized queries, cross-relate data files, export data to other software (e.g. Microsoft Excel), generate files that can  serve as input files downstream operations support systems, etc.

Note: Equipment type - Switching System Codes (coded values regarding switch equipment types in the LERG) are assigned by COMMON LANGUAGE®.   A spreadsheet of valid codes is available at www.commonlanguage.com.  Click on “Store” in the upper left corner of the web page then, at the store site, choose Code Center and then CL-DATA-SSC for the spreadsheet.

Telcordia® Area Code Split Exchange Data (ACSED)

Scroll down for a downloadable product sample

The Area Code Split Exchange Data (ACSED) provides an up-to-date listing of all the exchanges (prefixes, NXXs) involved with an Area Code split.  Although lists may be available from other sources, they generally do not reflect changes that occur mid-stream.  The ACSED does reflect such changes.

Although Area Code splits are less pervasive than they were just a few years ago, the quarterly ACSED can keep you aware of future splits.    An Area Code Split Exchange Data – Historical (ACSED-H) is also available and provides an exchange list for each split since 1989, covering 150 splits.   Included with the ACSED, and most splits in the ACSED-H, is a listing of the primary localities associated with each split.

Data is provided as fixed formatted ASCII files that can be read with a text editor, loaded into spreadsheet programs, processed and also loaded into various databases.  Due to the vast diversity among user environments, integration of the data into your local environment is your responsibility; however, TRA can assist your staff through explanation of the data, etc.  Data is provided as one file for each split.  However, an executable program is included with the ACSED that provides options to re-organize the data into a few other layouts, as well as combine data from different files, so as to make it easier to integrate with your local needs.

V & H Calculation (VHCALC)

Vertical and Horizontal Calculation Software (VHCALC) can help save staff time by translating latitude and longitude and V&H coordinates for such needs as new switch installations, Rate Centers, and points of interconnection.  It also can be used to compute distances between sets of V&H coordinates.

Vertical and Horizontal (V&H) coordinates identify points on the earth’s surface and are derived from latitude and longitude.  Developed by the telecommunications industry, they simplify the calculations needed to determine the straight-line airline distance between two sets of geographical points.  Distance-sensitive rating processes use Rate Center V&H coordinates to determine mileage relative to rate bands.  Switch V&H coordinates are used primarily when developing distance sensitive access charges.

The Vertical and Horizontal Calculation Software is a PC-based program that permits the conversion, in both directions, of V&H coordinates and latitude/longitude.  The program has two modes:  interactive and batch.  It is DOS-based but is executable in Windows.  The interactive mode is a user-prompted interface that assesses one set of coordinates at a time.  The batch mode provides the capability to convert sets of V&H coordinates and latitude/longitude data in a data file, in either direction, in bulk.

Vertical and Horizontal Calculation-Interactive:

This mode provides the capability to assess the following, one set of coordinates at a time:

Converts Vertical and Horizontal coordinates to latitude/longitude

  1. Converts latitude/longitude to Vertical and Horizontal coordinates
  2. Computes the distance between a set of Vertical and Horizontal coordinates
  3. Provides Vertical and Horizontal coordinates and computes the latitude/longitude for an NPA NXX*
  4. Computes the distance between a pairs of NPA NXXs*

*Used only with the following data products: TPM™ Data Source, OTCNPG, Geographic Exchange List.  These products provide Rate Center Vertical and Horizontal coordinates; the Geographic Exchange List includes Switch Vertical and Horizontal coordinates.

Vertical and Horizontal Calculation-Batch:

This includes the Vertical and Horizontal Calculation-Interactive software, and adds additional programs that convert all records in a user-created data file containing V&H coordinates to latitude/longitude (and in the reverse direction).  Data in the Vertical and Horizontal Calculation - Batch software requires a locally prepared ASCII file in a prescribed layout for input to the program.  Users should have some experience with PCs and data management to address input and output requirements of the program.
