Hotcut Frame Relay To IP

I joined a bridge for customer hotcut. Customer is cutting from frame relay DS3 service to IP DS3 service. Customer will move to new router at customer premise. I unmapped NEC 2400 STS1 across SONET ring and remapped STS1 across same SONET ring now going to new router on our end replacing old frame relay switch.

The new portion of the circuit path had not been pre-tested and the new circuit was not coming up. We discovered that the new circuit path had been provisioned to the wrong router on our end. I had provisioning join the bridge and redraw the equipment path drawing to the correct router. I then called the switch site and had them rewire the new path to the correct router. Circuit came up on new routers at that time.
