Issuance of LOA

A LOA (Letter of Authorization) is a document that proves the legitimacy of a connection to a specific destination.
After creating (purchasing) a Physical Port, you must submit the LOA to the data center operator when requesting physical cross-connect wiring within the specified data center.
This page explains how to issue an LOA using the OCX Portal.

Please confirm the following before issuing an LOA:

  1. Your User Role is either admin or user.
  2. The creation of the Physical Port is complete, and its status is either ordered or available.

  2. Click [Physical Ports] from the left navigation bar.
