Chapter 5 Configuring BAMS for BAF Output
Call Area Provisioning Example
Configuring Toll-Free Calls
Different countries have different designations for toll-free dialing. For this reason, BAMS maintains the Tollfree table for the NPANXX combinations that are considered toll free.
Note Any 800, 888, or 877 NPA results in a toll-free BAF record, overriding any zone or rating type designations.
Standard North American entries are provided here:
prov-add:TOLLFREE:digits=1800 prov-add:TOLLFREE:digits=1877
Configuring a Metropolitan Calling Plan
Suppose that one set of NPANXXs could call FLAT to any zone in Figure 5-1. This could happen if you set up an overlay zone that covers the entire area. The LATA field would be set up for each NPANXX, as appropriate.
To configure a metropolitan calling plan, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Set up zone membership, zone 10 for the overlay:
prov-add:NPANXX:npanxx=202388,zone=10,lata=1
prov-add:NPANXX:npanxx=703488,zone=10,lata=3
Step 2 Set up zone relationships so that the super-zone can call any other zone as FLAT, and any other zone can call the super-zone as FLAT.
prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=1,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=2,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=3,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=4,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=5,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=6,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=7,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=8,RATETYPE="FLAT" prov-add:RATING-TYPE:ORGZONE=10,TRMZONE=9,RATETYPE="FLAT"
Configuring for a Rating Exception
Sometimes cases occur in which a particular NPANXX calling another NPANXX needs to be classified as a rating exception. For these cases, you can place an entry in the Rating Exception table, as follows:
prov-add:RATE-EXC:orgnpanxx=202344,trmnpanxx=703299,ratetype="FLAT" prov-add:RATE-EXC:orgnpanxx=703299,trmnpanxx=202344,ratetype="FLAT"
