Professional Installation
Nitel On-site Installation Specifications and Pricing
Professional Installation is included for all Nitel Voice Services. Nitel’s authorized installation contractor will perform the work. Nitel recommends that Customer order a Nitel site survey to identify potential obstacles to installation, and to preclude the possibility of unexpected installation delays and additional costs to the Customer. Nitel will perform an onsite survey at the time of the first install appointment; however, this may delay your service activation date.
1. Nitel Professional Installation includes the following:
a. Install and test connectivity of an appropriate surface mounted wall jack to the Nitel provided CPE.
b. Install Nitel provided CPE (shipped to the Customer’s Service Location before the installation):
i. Mount the CPE to the appropriate rack or surface
ii. Power up the hardware.
iii. Verification of Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity.
c. Test connectivity from the Customer’s Service Location to Nitel’s Core Network.
d. Nitel Turn-Up personnel ping the WAN interface of the Nitel provided CPE.
i. Demonstrate connectivity to local contact and obtain signed acknowledgement from Customer’s authorized representative.
e. Leave an unplugged 6-foot Ethernet cable next to the installed CPE or inside the CPE packaging materials. Customer may use this cable to connect the Nitel CPE to a Local Area Network device.
f. If Nitel cannot complete a Professional Installation, notwithstanding Layer 2 or Layer 3 connectivity issues caused by Nitel provided CPE and/or Nitel network elements, Customer will be billed for the attempted installation using the Truck Roll charges outlined in the Non-Recurring Charges table below, and for any additional time and materials required to complete the installation at the rates listed in the Non Recurring Charges table or in the Service Order Form.
2. Materials for Professional Installation. Professional installation includes minor materials required to turn up the Service (such as single in-line filters or couplers), but does not include major additional materials (such as conduit or NID splitters). If Customer stops the installation for any reason that requires an AUTHORIZED INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR to return to the site to complete the installation, additional truck roll charges will apply. For this reason, Nitel recommends that customers with non-standard arrival requirements (such as restaurants with busy periods or retail establishments with hours outside 8AM to 5PM local time) discuss this with Nitel at the beginning of the installation process.
If the AUTHORIZED INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR fails to arrive or does not have the necessary materials to complete installation as defined, Nitel will reschedule installation and Customer will not be charged for the missed installation attempt.
In the event that Professional installation is insufficient for Customer’s installation requirements, and Nitel cannot transition to Custom installation during the Professional installation truck-roll, Nitel may, at its discretion, attempt to meet expanded requirements through time and materials charges (for example, installing extra wiring).
3. Additional Installation Requirements. For Customers with installation needs outside the scope of Professional installation, any custom installation work must be handled by the Customer’s Vendor or discussed and authorized with Nitel’s Authorized Installation Contractor.
4. Limitations on Installation Services. The following installation activities are never provided by Nitel:
a. Drilling through masonry or exterior walls.
b. Installing wiring in attics or crawl spaces.
c. Wiring externally to the suite or building, including drilling from the outside of a building to the inside of a building.
d. Installing wiring through multiple floors or from a DMARC to a suite in a multi-tenant unit (MTU).
e. Accepting or utilizing site surveys provided by the Customer or from a third party.
f. Installing wiring or equipment in a location or manner that in Nitel’s reasonable opinion would create a safety hazard including work in, above, or near food preparation areas.
5. Customer’s Pre-Installation Obligations for Installation.
a. For All Installation. Customer shall provide Nitel’s authorized installation contractors with access to all areas necessary to complete the installation. Prior to the scheduled installation date, Customer shall:
i. Obtain any licenses, approvals, and permissions required by a landlord, building manager, or governmental authority for the installation and meet any insurance requirements related to the installation;
ii. Identify Service locations potentially outside the scope of Professional installation or Custom installation as defined in the Customer’s Technical Requirements Agreement, as additional costs may be incurred, including charges for a second installation if work cannot be performed within the scope during the first scheduled installation; and
iii. For any Service location in a mall or other multi-tenant unit (MTU), Customer shall arrange for the use of tie pairs/facilities extending from the local telephone company demarcation point (DEMARC) to a common location within Customer’s store or leased space at the Service location. If no such pairs/facilities exist, Customer is responsible for their installation and clear identification of appropriate facilities for use prior to the date scheduled for Installation. If facilities are not ready, Customer may be charged for an additional installation truck-roll and any other related charges.
6. Installation Schedule. In the absence of an amendment to this Agreement that establishes a schedule for installing the provisionable Service locations ordered by Customer, or network elements that delay the installation project such as construction, network equipment augmentations or other, the Parties shall work in good faith to promptly schedule the installation of ordered Service so all provisionable Service locations are scheduled for installation to be completed within ninety (90) days of the date on which Customer delivers this executed Agreement and associated Service Orders to Nitel. Those locations that do not meet this scheduling deadline due to Customer scheduling issues will not be eligible for any Nitel promotions and may be subject to Cancellation Fees.
Installation is scheduled after the circuit is delivered to the DMARC (“Basic Installation”) and Nitel ships the CPE to Customer, if applicable. For Professional Installation, Nitel provides a four (4)-hour window for the arrival of the AUTHORIZED INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR and requires Customer to have a local contact on-site for the duration of the installation. This local contact must be authorized to sign the Nitel work order verifying installation completion. If Customer requires a specific arrival time, an arrival window outside 8AM to 5PM local time, or installation verification from an off-site contact, Customer may be subject to additional charges.
