Actually I think that system has been gone for quite some time in many areas. I haven't seen it used around here in ages. The usual way to handle this now is to go to the cross connect or other point where you know the pairs are identified and hang a toner on them. They could also call in to the CO and bother the frame person to put tone on the pair. But of course that is not something you are going to do.

What you have to do is call for a locate and tag. If it takes time, well so be it.
