Contains the requirements for interfacing Stored Program Control Systems (SPCS) with the Engineering & Administrative Data Acquisition System (EADAS) for the collection of SPCS traffic data. This new TR is a part of the LATA Switching Systems Generic Requirements (LSSGR), TR-TSY-000064. The document has been revised to incorporate corrections & test revisions that were accumulated as a result of direct interactions between vendors building the OS/NE interface & Bellcore. Additions to the document include:- A description of the increased amount of Record IDs per data section provided by the EADAS Generic No.4.- Appendix A which contains an example of standard message header, individual data section pointer calculations etc. - A glossary to incorporate text corrections etc.
