Review the Network Control System
The Network Control System (NCS) is a group of interrelated hardware
and software components that process orders placed in Network Manager.
The following three components form the NCS System:
Network Capabilities System (NetCap) provides near real-time processing of
changes to your toll-free network. These changes transmit to NetCap via
orders that you create using Network Manager.
Service Control Manager (SCM) links NetCap and the Data Access Points
(DAPs). A continuous stream of database changes, including scheduled and
recurring changes to the network, are sent from NetCap to the SCM through
56Kbps data links. The SCM translates the information that is sent to NetCap into
switch language for the DAPs, and ensures that all three DAPs are synchronized with identical
customer records.
Data Access Points (DAPs) store the call processing information used by Verizon
switches to route calls. Verizon switches communicate with the DAPs for every
call, receiving feature database information including routing, termination, and
special handling instructions. Changes sent by the SCM to the three
geographically dispersed DAPs take effect in near real-time. All of the DAPs are
identical, from the hardware and software configurations, to the features databases they use. At
least one DAP is always available for call processing functions, as each switch in the network is
connected to the DAPs via six links, two per DAP.

Network Control System
The following steps outline the process followed by the NCS:
1. Enter an order into the Network Manager application.
2. The information is stored in NetCap.
3. The information is sent from NetCap to the SCM.
4. The SCM translates the order information into call processing language that the switch can
understand.
5. The SCM sends the call processing information to each of the three redundant DAPs where it
is stored until needed by a Verizon switch.
6. The switch requests information about call routing from one of the DAPs when a call is
processed.

Analyze Nodes-Based Routing
Nodes-Based Routing
• Provides flexibility when routing toll-free numbers.
• Requires no predetermined hierarchy.
• Utilizes reusable models, labels, and single-use value nodes.
Node
• A set of values that are connected by branches.
• Creates “decision points”, or call flow instructions, on a routing plan.
• Created when a model, value node, treatment, or termination is inserted into a plan.
Model (Reusable)
• Decision-based routing tree.
• Used in multiple routing plans or multiple nodes in one plan.
• Contains specific and default branches with like values in each branch.
• Can be edited and changes apply globally.
• Deleted by a monthly batch process if not in use for two consecutive months.

Analyze Node-Based Routing, cont’d
Label
• Group of values of the same type that is assigned to a branch in a model.
• Required if a branch contains more than six values.
• Used in multiple models.
• Can be edited and changes apply globally.
• Deleted after two months if not inserted in a model.
Value-Based Node
• Decision-based routing tree.
• Created during plan creation to define on-demand values.
• Single-use for the plan in which it is created.
• Can be edited within the plan.
• Can add more than six values to a branch, so labels are not needed.

The main navigation tree on the Network Manager Home page enables
you to navigate and view the set, number, and plan details. When you
initially enter Network Manager, the Search dialog appears enabling you
to search for a Corp ID, Plan, Set ID, and number. It appears by default
every time you open the application unless you disable this option. If you
disable it, you can access it in the future by clicking the Search icon on
the toolbar.

Copy Classic to Nodes
You can copy an advanced classic plan to create a new nodes-based plan
for a Number Level Plan (NLP), a Super Routing Plan (SRP), or an
Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) plan.

plan. It is important that you attend the Nodes training to understand the
new routing capabilities before copying. You can implement the nodes plan to change your
numbers from classic to nodes once the copy order is approved. You can also delete your classic
plans when you no longer need them.
