Browse Topics:
- What is RIMS?
Resource Inventory Management System (RIMS) is a comprehensive application used to interact with the Pooling Administration and NANPA for block and code administration.
RIMS automates the process of requesting, modifying, returning, or disconnecting blocks and codes, performing all the necessary validations. It also tracks and stores your transactions to enable you to fulfill regulatory requirements.
Because RIMS stores your forecasts and your interactions with NANPA and the Pooling Administration, it can analyze pool block exhaust forecasts and create forecast reporting and other regulatory reporting and send the reporting to the numbering administrators, (i.e., NRUF Reporting and Pooling forecasts).
- What is Query Manager?
With Query Manager, you can report on your entire TN inventory using your SPIDs and OCNs. You may generate the queries at the TN, Block, or Code level, plus, you can use a variety of parameters (for example, geography or LRN) to pinpoint specific subsets of data in your TN inventory.
Query Manager also has standard reports to allow you to easily get information on porting activity for a specific time period, or a list of TNs for a given LRN(s).
- What is Port PS?
Neustar’s Port Power Search (Port PS) is a user friendly, web-based application that provides real-time access to authoritative, industry telephone number (TN) data and seamless integration with the Pooling Administration for block and code provisioning. It provides a one-step process to query for primary and alternative telephone number service provider information.
- Does Port PS have an API?
Yes. The Port PS Application Programming Interface (API) automates the retrieval of ownership and routing data on large volumes of TNs without manual data entry so you can easily integrate with your own back office systems.
- Who should I call with Port PS questions?
The Port PS Customer Support group can be reached by email at portps@neustar.biz or by calling 1-866-638-4473
- How do I register for Port PS?
If your company already has a Port PS account, please contact your account administrator. If you are unsure who that is, please request that information by email portps@neustar.biz, giving our customer support group the name of your company. If your company does not yet have an account, please go to http://portps.neustar.biz/ for more information about Port PS. There is a button on the left hand side of the screen to register.
- How do I become a NPAC user?
Please visit the npac.com site for an overview of the NPAC. Directions to sign up as a new user or add regions for an existing user can be found at https://ncc.neustar.biz/ccs/
