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"
