21 Role of the WANTEC LCM Single Point of Contact for the following: –Hardware –Maintenance –Project Management –Customer Satisfaction

22 WANCare Preliminary Process Before Service Operation WANTEC will perform the following: 1) Technical Review 2) Document equipment required 3) Document procurement and install process 4) Identify where to install equipment and telco 5) Document all devices and circuits 6) Create network diagrams 7) Develop Customer specific operational procedures. 8) Document a trouble ticket escalation procedure 9) Coordinate install equipment and telco

23 WANCare Continuous Monitoring Continuous Monitoring: 1) 7 days/week, 24 hours/day proactive monitoring 2) WANTEC will collect and retain alarm data from all devices designated 3) Collect SNMP traps 4) Poll each device in the network 5) Poll intervals will be set for the most efficient levels 6) Respond to network events 7 days/week, 24 hours/day basis

24 WANCare Network Problem Management Network Problem Management: 1) Within thirty minutes of recognition of a network event, the WANTEC NOC will in accordance by the described Customer procedures 2) Create a trouble ticket report 3) Provide email and voicemail notification to Customer of outage 4) Appropriately conduct appropriate remote diagnostic tests to isolate point(s) of failure 5) Institute alternative network operations in accordance with procedures agreed to upon. 6) If WANTEC NOC determines that problem is Product related, they will make an immediate attempt to restore remotely 7) WANTEC NOC will use the out-of-band dial connection to the device for diagnostics and restoration. 8) If NOC determines a network problem is caused by maintained hardware the NOC will initiate a Field Engineer dispatch for repair/replacement of the unit. 9) If problem is determined to be circuit related, NOC will contact the appropriate circuit vendor and request service. We will work in conjunction with circuit vendor for testing and diagnostics.

25 WANCare Network Problem Management 10) If problem is determined to be end-user related we will contact the customer central point of contact for repair. 11) The NOC will escalate to appropriate technical and/or management chain. 12) When notified of repair, the NOC will test for network management system visibility, run diagnostic tests to verify stability and ensure application is running before closing tickets. 13) Documented procedure, the NOC will return Network to normal primary operating mode from any alternative operations, if any were invoked. 14) The NOC will follow pre-defined procedures to ensure that users will be minimally affected during restoration process. 15) The NOC will prepare a trouble resolution report that includes sequence number, site and equipment description, date and time closed, problem resolution description, and the current status.

26 Change Management 1) WANTEC will be the central repository for all network demographic information including site information, site configuration information (hardware configurations, software levels, etc.), circuit id, etc. 2) WANTEC will maintain control over changes that are to be made to the entire communications network including: The Network Management System, Network Topology, Device Configurations, and software revisions. 3) WANTEC and Omnicare will jointly devise a methodology and structure to manage the implementation of changes to their sites. 4) WANTEC will establish procedures and change format agreeable to Omnicare for on-going change support, including process, change control forms, time guidelines, exception criteria and change notification. 5) Configuration change activity includes, but not limited to, the following changes; device reconfiguration, protocol changes, network topology changes. 6) Administrative change activity includes, but is not limited to, the following changes; device moves/deletions, and device reallocations. 7) WANTEC will perform 960 minor (est. 15 minutes)per year at no charge to Omnicare.
