Hi, I was building an LCA file for a VoIP provider that uses Broadworks. I noticed that the LCA file examples I've been given only lists the rate center names, not the provinces. Yet in LERG6 and LERG8, short and long names for rate centers are not unique across all provinces / states. Sherbrooke QC and Sherbrook NS, for example, is listed as SHERBROOKE for both it's shot and long name. Should the LCA file distinguish these two rate centers by listing SHERBROOKE, QC as PQSHERBROOKE? If not, what field in NNACL should I use to distinguish them? Or do I have to start creating my own rate center names? Julien -- Make innovation easy http://www.credil.org/
As far as I know the LERG does not have local calling tariff info per se. On Fri, Jun 14, 2019 at 03:36:19PM -0400, Julien Lamarche wrote:

Are both SHERBROOKE ?s in the same LATA number? BroadWorks distinguishes the same names based on LATA. E.g., there are tons of ?Springfield?s and ?Albany?s in the US and Canada but in different LATAs. If you?re using BroadWorks LCA, then you?ll also need to load an NNACL-formatted file. (I think that?s usually excerpted from LERG6.) Of course, BroadWorks doesn?t really care where you get the data. It?s certainly possible to create inconsistencies.

Thanks for taking my question Mark. All of Canada is 888. "In 2000, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission eliminated all Canadian provincial LATAs in favor of a single LATA for Canada (888). " -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_access_and_transport_area
If you?re using BroadWorks LCA, then you?ll also need to load an NNACL-formatted file. (I think that?s usually excerpted from LERG6.)
Yup. LERG6 plus it needs LERG7, I think to get the horizontal & vertical. LERG8 is optional for long names (which are still not unique across the country).
Of course, BroadWorks doesn?t really care where you get the data. It?s certainly possible to create inconsistencies.
It does look like I'll have to modify the supplied perl script to: * either generate unique per province LATA, or * include the province in the 30 char rate center name or * Use NPA NXX in LCA file. Julien
