ASINET update: probe testing OK, ECATS CDR issue moved to closed monitoring, Vail activation set for Feb. 24

Summary
Meeting updates: probe tests showed expected MOS/jitter and packet‑loss near targets; ECATS trunk‑number reporting remains an item but is being handled directly by El Paso Teller; Vail activation is scheduled for Feb. 24 and Intrado will delete unused star codes at month‑end (PSAPs must update consoles).
Tracy reviewed probe testing and network metrics for January, telling the group that the probe is a continuous ping to check server reachability and that the team wants MOS and voice metrics above 4. "We want everything to be above a 4, which we can tell on the side there it is," she said. Packet‑loss targets of ≤0.5% and jitter measured in microseconds were cited as acceptable thresholds.
Tracy asked that participants flag any daily periods of all‑day nulls (pink null) that would indicate the probe cannot reach the server. She said she would re‑export certain charts where gaps appeared.
On ECATS reporting, Matt (El Paso Teller) reported his CPE was not reporting trunk numbers to ECATS and his team is working on a CDR rewrite in coordination with ECATS; he asked that the tracker move this item to closed monitoring while he works directly with ECATS. "Our CPE is not reporting the trunk numbers... my CPE is working on a CDR rewrite project," he said.
Circuit activations and site work were discussed: Vail is scheduled for Feb. 24 with Lumen and Intrado on site to activate and test circuits, and Castle Rock, Lincoln County and Yuma are already complete. Tracy said technicians will coordinate on test calls and PSAPs only need to permit on‑site access and can choose their level of involvement.
On star‑code cleanup, a participant warned that CSP Pueblo and CSP Denver are not on the transfer list because they do not currently have 911 call‑handling solutions; she urged PSAPs to update console speed dials and resources because Intrado will target end‑of‑month deletion of unused star codes. "We are going to target the end of the month to have Intrado delete the unused star code," the participant said.
What’s next: Tracy will re‑export missing charts, continue weekly tracker distribution, and coordinate the Feb. 24 Vail activation. PSAPs were urged to update consoles and confirm CJIS and other surveys; fewer than half of PSAPs have returned CJIS responses.
