Configuring BAMS for BAF Output
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the Cisco Billing and Measurements Server (BAMS) for Bellcore AMA (Automatic Message Accounting) Format (BAF) records. BAMS provides a mediation interface for Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) systems. The purpose of BAMS is to provide enhanced data collection and processing functions, which correspond to those found in a traditional Class 4 tandem switch. BAMS does not include presentation graphics or database query functions; rather, it is designed to produce output billing and measurement feeds for downstream systems that can provide these functions.
Note You enable BAF output with the NODEPARMS tag ID. For more information, see the “NODEPARMS Tag ID” section on page
BAMS must be correctly configured with the following information:
•Billing design information
–Billing zones
–Zone relationships
–Call types
–Calling exceptions
–Call type and structure code mapping for output records
•
–Zone assignment
–LATA assignment
–
•Trunk group information
–SigPathID to trunk group number
–BearChanID to trunk group member
–Trunk group connections
•International routing information
–Country codes
