Cisco Systems OL-1089-11 Configuring Call Detail Record Message Types, Parameter Modification

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

Call Data Block Descriptions

To specify the CDR file timestamp unit, enter one of the following values:

•S-Seconds (default).

•M-Milliseconds; use this parameter if your configuration uses TCAP.

Note If you use 1110 in the engine.CDRmessageTypes parameter (for TCAP), you must specify milliseconds for the CDRtimeStamp value.

Note The timestamp value is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Previously the term used was Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Configuring Call Detail Record Message Types

Parameter modification: engine.CDRmessageTypes

To specify which CDBs (statistics taken at various points in a call) are recorded during a call, enter one of the two following sets of values (each number represents a point in a call):

•1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080—Use this set of values if your CDR files are used by a measurement server or by another CDR reader.

•1060, 1110—Use this set of values if the end-of-call record is desired.

•1071—Use this set of values for BAMS measurements.

Enabling Call Screening

To initialize the database that stores call screening information, modify the parameters shown in Table 1-3.

Table 1-3 Call Screening Parameters

Parameter	Modification
engine.SysConnectDataAccess	To enable or disable the A-number and B-number analysis in
	the call screening database, enter one of the following values:
	• If you do not have the database environment set with all
	the required data populated, set this value to false
	(default).
	• If you have the database and want the system to access it,
	set this value to true.
