Pooling Administration System (PAS)
Accounts |
|
As a consultant for one or more service providers, what
is required of me before I request a user id and password for PAS and/or
add additional OCNs to my existing PAS user profile? |
All consultants who register as a new PAS user or add OCNs to their
existing PAS user profile must have a letter of authorization (LOA) on
file for each service provider for whom they intend to submit pooling
requests.
The LOA should:
• Be on the company letterhead of the service provider.
• List the authorized consultant’s name (or consultant’s company name).
• Indicate that the consultant is authorized to have access as a user in
PAS, and can act on the service provider’s behalf for submission of
numbering requests.
• List all OCNs for which the letter applies.
• Be signed by an authorized representative of the service provider.
The LOA should be faxed to 925-363-7685 or emailed to
poolingsupport@neustar.biz. |
|
If I forgot my password for PAS, how can I obtain a new
password? |
You will need to send an email to
poolingsupport@neustar.biz
requesting a new password. Please include within the email your PAS user
id (login id) and specify that this is a request for a new password. A
pooling representative will contact with you. |
|
If I forgot my user id for PAS, how can I obtain my user
id? |
You will need to send an email to
poolingsupport@neustar.biz requesting
your user id information. Please include within the email your name,
company name and specify that this is a request for your PAS user id. A
pooling representative will contact with you. |
|
If I receive an error message stating my account is
inactive/disabled what do I need to do in order to have it
activated/enabled? |
Your PAS account may be disabled for the following reasons:
• New PAS users will be disabled if they fail to contact the Number
Pooling Customer Support desk for their password and log into PAS within
ten days of receiving their new PAS user id via email.
• Existing PAS users will be disabled if they do not change their
password in PAS within ten days of receiving the password expiration
email.
• PAS users will be disabled after three unsuccessful login attempts.
You will need to send an email to
poolingsupport@neustar.biz
to request that your account be reactivated. Please include within the
email your PAS user id (login id) and specify that this is a request to
reactivate an existing PAS account. A pooling representative will
contact with you. |
|
How often do I need to reset my password for PAS? |
PAS passwords expire 120 days from the date of issuance. You will receive
an email notification ten calendar days prior to password expiration.
You must login to PAS and reset your password within ten calendar days
of receiving the “Password Expiration” notification; otherwise your
account will be disabled. If the password has not been reset by three
days prior to expiration, a second and final email reminder will be
sent. |
|
General PAS Questions |
|
What effect does a pop-up blocker have on PAS? |
If you have “Pop-Up Blocker” software installed on your
internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape), please adjust the
settings to always allow pop-ups from the Number Pooling website (www.nationalpooling.com).
Failure to do so could prevent you from receiving the session timeout
messages from the Pooling Administration System (PAS). |
|
Is there a time out feature in PAS? |
Yes, PAS will automatically time you out of the current session after 30
minutes of inactivity; however, you will receive a warning five (5)
minutes prior to the session expiring. By clicking on the OK button on
the pop-up blocker, this will extend your current session for another 30
minute period. |
|
While working in PAS, why doesn’t PAS provide me with a
time out warning? |
If you have “Pop-Up Blocker” software installed on your
internet browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape), please adjust its
settings to always allow pop-ups from the Number Pooling website (www.nationalpooling.com).
Failure to do so could prevent you from receiving the session timeout
messages from the Pooling Administration System (PAS). |
|
Why am I not receiving an email notification once the PA
issues a Part 3? |
If you have “Spam Blocker” software installed on your email
server (i.e. Microsoft Outlook), please adjust its settings to always
allow emails from the neustar.biz email addresses (ex:
poolingsupport@neustar.biz).
Failure to do so could prevent you from receiving email notifications sent
from your pooling administrator and/or emails from the Pooling
Administration System (PAS). |
|
What happens if I accidentally delete a work item in my
PAS Work Item Summary List? Does this change anything relative to the
actual work I’m doing in PAS? Or do I just lose the "tracking" ability
provided by PAS? |
If you accidentally delete a work item in PAS it will not negatively
impact the particular transaction tied to that work item. You will,
however, lose the tracking ability provided by the PAS Work Item Summary
List. You will still be able to find forms associated to the deleted
work item by going to Search Forms located in the tools frame
and selecting View Form or List Form to review the
status of the requests. You can go to Reports also located in
the tools frame and select Part 1A Report, Part 3 Report and
Donation Reports to review the status of requests as well. |
|
Are the PAS work items in my Work Item Summary List
automatically removed after a period of time or am I the only one who can
remove them? |
Your PAS work items are not automatically removed after a
period of time. You are the only one who can modify or delete your PAS
work items. |
|
Why are there both PAS-generated emails and PAS work
items for the same items? |
PAS is simply providing you with two different ways to
locate responses from the Pooling Administrator for processed requests.
You have the option of deleting any or all of these emails and work items
at any time. |
|
Once I request and receive a code to establish an LRN, can I request
additional blocks from that code at any time? |
Yes, you can request additional blocks, however, additional
blocks should not be requested with an effective date prior to the
effective date of the LRN. |
|
Reports |
|
Where can I locate a list of assigned thousands-blocks? |
You can locate this information on the
www.nationalpooling.com
website. Go to “Reports”, select “Block Report”, enter the state, NPA,
rate center and select the “Assigned Blocks” radio button, then click
“Continue”. You can also download a list of assigned thousands-blocks. |
|
Where can I locate a list of available thousands-blocks? |
You can locate this information on the
www.nationalpooling.com
website. Go to “Reports”, select “Block Report”, enter the state, NPA,
rate center and select the “Available Blocks” radio button, then click
“Continue”. |
|
Where can I locate a list of retained thousands –blocks? |
You can locate this information on the
www.nationalpooling.com
website. Go to “Reports”, select “Block Report”, enter the state, NPA,
rate center and select the “Retained Blocks” radio button, then click
“Continue”. |
|
Is there a way I can pull the blocks available, blocks assigned and
blocks retained reports greater than one NPA at a time? |
You can pull these reports by region. You can locate this information on
the www.nationalpooling.com
website. Go to “Reports” then select “Block Report by Region”. |
|
Am I able to print reports? |
Yes, you can use the Download button to download reports into Excel then
print the report from Excel. |
|
How far do the reports
go back to? |
You have the ability to produce reports going back to the inception of
pooling in 2002. |
|
General Pooling Related Questions |
|
How
do I determine if a rate center is in pooling or not? |
Go to
www.nationalpooling.com. From the home
page, select Reports
located in the tools frame, then select
NPA/Rate Center Reports, choose a
State
and NPA
from the drop-down boxes in the center of the page. This will bring up a
Rate Center Reports page with a description of the various pooling
statuses found on the report (M, M*, red M,
O and X). From the reports page, select
Rate Center Files and open the Adobe
file (found at the bottom of the page). This will bring up a list of
rate centers with their pooling status along with a legend with
definitions of each of the statuses. |
|
How do I opt into pooling? |
Contact the Number Pooling Customer Support desk at
1-866-638-7665 or
poolingsupport@neustar.biz.
|
|
If I choose to participate in thousands-block number pooling in a
voluntary rate center outside of the top 100 MSA, can I withdraw from
pooling in that voluntary rate center at any time? |
No, you cannot withdraw from pooling in the voluntary rate center once
you’ve submitted a forecast; a donation or a thousands-block has been
assigned to you. |
|
How do I determine if a thousands-block is contaminated or not? |
One way of determining if a thousands-block is contaminated or not, is by
going to “Reports” located on the www.nationalpooling.com website.
Select “Block Report”, enter the state, NPA, rate center and select the
“Available Blocks” radio button, then click “Continue”. Under the “Contam
(Y or N)” column, if there is a “Y” then the thousands-block is
contaminated. If there is a “N” then the thousands-block is pristine.
We also recommend that you query the NPAC to determine if a
thousands-block is contaminated. For assistance with performing the NPAC
queries, contact the NPAC help desk at 1-888-NPAC-HEL(P) or
1-888-672-2435. |
|
Thousands-Block Donations |
|
What happens if I donated a thousands-block in error? |
Section 7.2.7 of the TBPAG describes what steps can be
taken to retrieve a thousands-block donated in error, “Subsequent to the
Block Donation date, the SP may have a need to retrieve a block they had
previously donated to the pool. Likely reasons could be errors in reported
block contamination levels, assignments made after block protection,
customer request, etc. Via email with the PA, the SP may exchange its own
blocks. If this cannot be accommodated, then the SP must apply for the
block via a Part 1A. In the case where the SP needs one of its own blocks
back but cannot meet the MTE/utilization, the PA may agree to hold the
block until requirements are met or the SP may seek appropriate regulatory
intervention.” |
|
What steps must I take prior to donating a
thousands-block? |
Section 4.1 d) of the TBPAG outlines what steps
the code holder must perform prior to donating a thousands-block:
4.1 d) “confirm, prior to
donating the thousands-block to the industry inventory pool, that:
1) all unavailable TNs within
contaminated thousands-blocks have been intra- service provider ported;
2) the associated NPA/NXX is currently available for call routing, is
flagged as LNP capable in the LERG Routing Guide and the NPAC, and the
NPA-NXX query triggers are applied in all switches and reflected in the
appropriate network databases (e.g., STP routing tables);
3) the NXX-assigned switch is currently LNP-capable and will process
terminating traffic appropriately; and
4) interconnection facilities have been established between the
NXX-assigned switch and other interconnecting networks.”
|
|
When should we donate thousands-blocks to the pool? |
The FCC permits service providers to maintain up to a
six-month inventory. Any thousands-blocks (less than ten percent
contaminated) in your inventory that you do not anticipate using in
the next six months should be donated to the pool.
See also section 7.2.7 of the Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X) Pooling
Administration Guidelines (TBPAG) for additional information regarding
donations. |
|
What do I need to do after my donations have been processed and accepted
by the PA? |
Per Section 7.2.7 of the TBPAG:
For any donations from a non-pooled NXX, the AOCN is responsible for
entering its specified routing and rating information for those retained
thousands-blocks. The retained thousands-block will not appear in the
LERG Routing Guide until the AOCN has performed this task.
This means that for any block that have been retained, your AOCN needs
to go into BIRRDS and create the NXD-X records. For example if you
donate NPA-NXX-1,2 and 3, your AOCN would need to create NXD-X records
for NPA-NXX-0,4,5,6,7,8 and 9.
|
|
Thousands-Block Forecasts |
|
How often do I need to submit a forecast? |
Section 6.0 of the TBPAG directs carriers to "submit their
NRUF to the NANPA on a semi-annual basis on or before February 1 for the
period ending December 31 and on or before August 1 for the period ending
on June 30 of each year. Additionally, under these same semi-annual
reporting deadlines, SPs shall submit to the PA the Thousands-Block
Forecast Report (Appendix 1)."
Section 6.1.1 of the TBPAG further advises, "NRUF forecast data needs to
be supplemented in areas where thousands-block pooling has been
implemented, and all thousands-block number pooling SPs shall provide a
Thousands-Block Forecast Report (Appendix 1), on a semi-annual basis,
by rate area to the PA in addition to the NRUF." |
|
Once I submit a forecast, can I change it? |
Yes, a forecast may be updated at any time. |
|
Do I enter the number of TNs (telephone numbers) or the
number of thousands-blocks on the forecast form? |
For the Pooling Forecast, you should enter the number of
thousands-blocks in the month(s) in which you anticipate making requests
for resources in each of the given rate areas. If a full NXX is needed, it
must be reflected in thousands-blocks, e.g. a full NXX = 10
thousands-blocks. |
|
If I made an error on my forecast submission, can I have
that forecast removed from PAS? |
No, forecasts may not be deleted from PAS; however, you can
modify your forecast with the correct forecast information or change the
forecasted amounts to all zeros. |
|
Is there a way to track forecast submissions or
modifications to an existing forecast in PAS? |
No, PAS does not report historical information on
forecasts. |
|
Once you submit a new forecast or modify an existing
forecast in PAS, how soon is PAS updated? |
Your forecast is updated immediately. Upon successful
submission you will receive the following confirmation message; “Your
forecast has been successfully submitted”. You can also go to Reports
located in the PAS tools frame and select Forecast Reports to
verify that your forecast was submitted or updated successfully. |
|
Is there an easier way to submit a zero forecast for
multiple rate centers? |
Forecasts can be submitted for multiple rate centers in the
same NPA within one submission. From the tools frame to the left of PAS
select Submit Forecast, then Create/Modify Forecast. This
will bring up the “Thousands Block Forecast” selection box. Enter the NPA,
First Month, and OCN then click “Continue”. From the Thousands Block
Forecast Report page, you can select a rate center from the drop-down
list. PAS enters zero as the default forecast amount for 12 months. Click
“Populate” to add a forecast for 12 months, and then repeat for as many
rate centers as needed. Once all desired rate centers have been added to
your forecast click on “Submit Forecast” at the bottom of the Forecast
screen. |
|
If I don’t request a block in the month I forecasted a need, will my
forecast roll over to the next month? |
No, PAS will not rollover your forecast from month to month. |
|
Can I submit my
forecasts via FTP? |
Yes, you can submit your forecasts via FTP. Additional information and FTP
Requirements is located under Documents on the pooling
website. For additional questions or information regarding FTP you may
contact Jeremiah Jenkins via email at
jeremiah.jenkins@neustar.biz or via phone at 571-434-5523. |
|
Block Reservations |
|
When can a
block reservation be requested? |
A SP may request to reserve a block(s) when a state waiver request has
been submitted to the appropriate regulatory authority. |
|
What do I need to provide that shows that a state waiver has been
submitted? |
The SP shall provide a statement of certification including the date the
waiver was submitted, the denial tracking number from PAS for the waiver
request (if available) and the tracking number from PAS of the
reservation request to the PA via fax or email. |
|
How long is a block
reserved for? |
A block will remain in reserved status until:
• A SP requests assignment of the reserved block
• A SP requests cancellation of the block reservation
• The block has been reserved 6 months with no follow up assignment or
cancellation request. The block reservation will be automatically
cancelled and the block returned to the pool one day after the 6 month
reservation period has passed.
|
|
Part 1A and Part 1 Forms |
|
What is the standard thousands-block effective date? |
According to section 8.2.4 of the Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X)
Pooling Administration Guidelines (TBPAG), the standard block effective
date is 31 calendar days from date of application plus the 2-day NPAC
update period in order to allow for NPAC processing and downloads to
occur. |
|
What is an expedited effective date and how do I
indicate this on my Part 1A form? |
An expedited effective date is a date earlier than the
standard thousands-block effective date (31 calendar days). To request an
expedited effective date, select “Yes” for “Request Expedited Treatment”
in section 1.3 of the Part 1A and modify the date in the “Requested Block
Effective Date” field.
Section 8.6 c) of the Thousands-Block Number (NXX-X) Pooling
Administration Guidelines (TBPAG) outlines the expedited effective date
process and timeframes:
c) The PA will process the application if the request meets the criteria
for the allocation of the thousands-block(s) and will make every effort to
process the application in fewer than the current maximum 7-calendar days.
The PA will expedite such requests when it can do so without failing to
meet its 7-calendar day allocation interval for other SPs. The PA will
determine the minimum Effective Date for an expedited request based upon
the following considerations:
1) If the thousands-block applicant is the LERG Assignee, and no NPAC
notification is required, the Effective Date must be at least nine
calendar days after the Part 3 Allocation Date. This allows for the PA
and AOCN to update BIRRDS for LERG Routing Guide daily updates. The AOCN
must agree to perform the BIRRDS update in two calendar days rather
than the standard five calendar days.
If the thousands-block allocated requires NPAC notification, the Effective
Date will be no earlier than eight business days after allocation:
three business days to build the thousand block ownership table and
five business days for a potential first 'port' notification.
|
|
When I submit a request for a full NXX in PAS do I need to send anything
to the PA? |
If the code request is an initial request, you will need to send your
certification or license and proof of facilities readiness to the PA.
The TBPAG sections 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.1.2 lists the acceptable proof of
facilities readiness and certification. |
|
When making a change to an NXX at the 10K level for a
code that is in pooling, what forms do I need to send manually to the PA? |
You will be able to submit a code modification through the PAS. If you
need to send supporting documentation of any kind to the PA, you will
need to email or fax the documentation to the PA.. If the same updates
need to be made at the thousands-blocks level for this NXX, please
submit one Part 1A modification for each thousands-block in PAS. |
|
When returning an NXX at the 10K level for a code that
is in pooling, what forms do I need to send manually to the PA? |
You will be able to submit a Code disconnect through PAS. No manual forms
need to be submitted.
As a reminder per section 2.2 of the COCAG Appendix C document, “The SP
returning an NXX code will coordinate with NANPA to ensure that the code
is not removed from the LERG Routing Guide as an active code until the
Part 3 with the effective date of the disconnect is received. This is to
prevent an adverse effect on ported-out customers.” |
|
What should I do if I notice an error on a request that
I just submitted? |
If you made an error on a request that was just submitted, you can modify
that request in PAS as long as the PA has not opened that request for
processing or it has not been more than 5 calendar days since you
submitted the request. |
|
Can my
co-worker modify a request on my behalf? |
Yes, any user that has the same state, NPA and OCN in their profile will
have the ability to modify the request. |
|
Is
there a way I can save a Part 1A Request in PAS? |
Yes, for new block requests you may save the request at any time during
the application process. To save your work, you can hit the “Save”
button at the bottom of the screen and the application will be saved. |
|
How long will my
request remain saved? |
Your request will be saved for 30 days from the date the request was first
saved. After 30 days, PAS will automatically remove the request from
PAS. |
|
Can I pull up
a co-workers saved requests? |
Yes, as long as you have in your profile the same OCN, State, and NPA of
the user who originally saved the request. |
|
Can I submit a
block transfer through PAS? |
Yes, block transfers can be done through PAS as an ‘Inter OCN’ Block
Modification request. |
|
State Waivers |
|
Does PAS
issue a denial for a State Waiver? |
Yes, if you do not meet MTE, PAS will provide a radio button that you may
select ‘Need to Request a State Waiver’. If this button is selected PAS
will process an automatic denial so you can proceed in requesting a
state waiver from the appropriate commission. |
|
Once you submit a request for an automatic denial for state waiver, do
you have to completely re-enter a new request after you receive the
approval from a state commission to get the desired blocks? |
Yes, a new request will need to be filled out and submitted at the time
you receive a state waiver approval from the commission. You must send
in the approval of a state waiver from the state the same day as you
make your request in PAS. |
|
While my request for a state waiver was pending with the state
commission, I met the months to exhaust and utilization requirements, so
I went ahead and requested the thousands-block. After receiving the
thousands-block, I was granted the state waiver. Am I still obligated to
request another thousands-block or do I ignore the granted state waiver?
|
No, you are not obligated to request another block, and you cannot use the
original state waiver to obtain an additional thousands-block, since
your situation has changed. |
|
Part 1B Form |
|
Who do I contact if my Part 1B is rejected? |
Any questions related to the rejection or approval of your
Part 1B can be directed to the NPAC help desk at 1-888-NPAC-HEL(P) or
1-888-672-2435. The HD will open a ticket for the NPAC Pooling Team. The
NPAC Pooling Team can provide information regarding why the block request
was rejected, however they cannot process the rejected block request. The
request must be resubmitted through PAS with the correct information
before the NPAC Pooling Team will be able to schedule it in the NPAC.
Note: Resubmission of a rejected block request will change the effective
date. If the block request is time critical, an expedite can be requested
in PAS when the request is resubmitted. |
|
How do I properly identify on the Part 1B form whether I
should mark the NPAC Activate as Yes or No? |
By marking the activate box as "Yes", the NPAC will
activate the block range. By marking the activate box as "No", it will be
the responsibility of the SP to activate the block range. You may contact
the NPAC help desk at 1-888-672-2435 for further details. |
|
What happens if I enter wrong Point Codes (DPC, SSN,
etc) on the Part 1B forms? |
Entering incorrect information for DPCs and SSNs is service affecting.
Point Codes are used in SS7 message routing. Numbering personnel will
not be able to assist you in determining correct Point Codes. Check with
someone within your company who is familiar with SS7 or your SS7 Vendor
for correct DPC and SSN information in order to avoid complications and
call failure issues. Entering incorrect DPC and SSN information can also
result in rejection of your request and require resubmission of the
request through PAS. See Question # 1 for additional information
regarding rejected Part 1B block requests. |
|
What happens if I enter the wrong LRN on the Part 1B
forms? |
Entering incorrect LRN information is service affecting. Numbering
personnel will not be able to assist you in determining correct LRNs.
Service Providers are responsible for ensuring that the correct LRN is
listed on the Part 1B form and ensuring that this same LRN is loaded in
the NPAC. Entering incorrect LRN information can also result in
rejection of your request and require resubmission of the request
through PAS. See Question # 1 for additional information regarding
rejected Part 1B block requests. |
|
On the Part 1B form, when should I check 'For
Information Only'? |
You would check 'For Information Only' when there is no NPAC action
required. You should also mark NPAC Activate Block Range = No in
conjunction with checking "For Information Only". |
|
If I submit a new code request and I want the blocks that I keep to be
activated in the NPAC, how do I accomplish that? |
Once the blocks have been assigned to you via a Part 3, then you can
submit a block modification in PAS and select ‘Part 1B’ as the type of
change, then indicate “Yes” for ‘Will block X of X be activated by
NPAC’. |
|
Months-to-Exhaust Worksheet |
|
When do I need to complete the Months-to-Exhaust
Worksheet? |
When you request additional thousands-blocks for growth
within a NPA and rate center where you currently have resources assigned.
You will need to meet the 6.0 month-to-exhaust requirement and the minimum
75% utilization requirement in order to obtain additional thousands-blocks
for growth within a NPA and rate center. |
|
How do I calculate the utilization level? |
Per FCC 00-104, § 52.15 (g) (3) (i) (ii) “The numbering
resource utilization level shall be calculated by dividing all assigned
numbers by the total numbering resources in the applicant’s inventory and
multiplying the result by 100. Numbering resources activated in the Local
Exchange Routing Guide (LERG) within the preceding 90 days of reporting
utilization levels may be excluded from the utilization calculation.”
|
|
Part 4 Form |
|
Can I reply to the ‘Confirmation of Block Activation
(Part 4) Reminder’ email with my Part 4 form? |
No, you must submit your Part 4 directly into PAS, which
updates your Part 4 record immediately. You can contact the Number Pooling
Customer Support desk at 1-866-638-7665 or
poolingsupport@neustar.biz
if you experience any issues with your Part 4 submission. |
|
How many customers do you have to have on a block in order to submit a
Part 4? |
You must have at least one customer on the block in order to submit a Part
4 to acknowledge that the block is in service. “In service” is defined
in the TBPAG as a code or block for which local routing information has
been input to the LERG Routing Guide and the carrier has begun to
activate numbers within the NXX ode or NXX-X block to end users (FCC
00-104 ¶240) |
|
If I request an effective date change for my new block assignment, will
my Part 4 due date change? |
Only if you request an earlier effective date than what was previously
assigned to you. Then your Part 4 due date will be based on the new
effective date. |
|
How do I extend my
Part 4 due date? |
To extend a Part 4 due date the user must contact the appropriate state
commission or the FCC (if the state does not handle the reclamation
process) for an extension of a Part 4 due date. |
|
Part 5 Form |
|
What is the purpose of the Part 5 form? As a LERG assignee, why do I
receive the “Part 5 Approved by NPAC” emails? |
If a thousands-block is voluntarily returned via a Part 1A
or reclaimed by a state commission or the FCC, the PA will complete
sections A and B of the Part 5 form and forward it to the NPAC. The NPAC
will then complete section C of the Part 5 form and notify the PA, the
LERG assignee, and the block holder that the thousands-block has been
removed from the NPAC. The LERG assignee is part of this notification
process so that they can provide the blank and vacant code announcements
for this thousands-block. |
|
Block and Code Disconnects |
|
When should
a block disconnect be submitted? |
If the block was assigned by the PA, or if you have a retained block but
you are not the LERG Assignee (as a result of a block transfer). You can
also refer to the Block Report to determine if the block is in an
‘Assigned’ or ‘Retained’ status. |
|
What is the difference between a disconnected block and a donated block? |
A block disconnect and a block donation are two different processes used
to return blocks to a pool, where they are made available to be
reassigned to another carrier. A block disconnect is the method used to
return an ‘Assigned’ Block. A block donation is the method used to
return a ‘Retained’ block where you are the LERG Assignee. |
|
Why is a reason required in the ‘Remarks’ field, when returning a block
that is more than 10% contaminated? |
To assist the PA in determining if a new block holder needs to be found.
If no valid reason is provided, the request may be denied. |
|
If I am returning a code and the blocks from that code, do I need to
complete two separate requests? |
Yes, you will need to submit a code disconnect and a block disconnect for
any blocks that were assigned to you by the PA from that code. |
|

I cannot browse the SSL area (forms) of your site. I get

Our SSL directory requires that your browser be equipped to
handle 128-bit encryption. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer
please make sure you are using the correct 128-bit version. To determine
this do the following:
1) Open Internet Explorer and click on 'Help' at the top of the browser.
2) From the drop-down menu click on 'About Internet Explorer'.
