Event Reporting and U-Abort Capabilities

Charging Event Report

Starting with R5: The Advice of Charge (AOC) feature allows ASAI to receive charge information about the cost of an outgoing call that is routed over an outgoing or two-way trunk group. This charge information is captured in the Charging Event Report.

NOTE:

Only those trunk groups that have been administered for this feature will receive charge event information. See Chapter 14, ‘‘DEFINITY ECS Administration Forms,’’ in this document.

Charging Event Report Items

The following is a list of the items provided with this report:

call_id

The call identifier assigned by the DEFINITY ECS

party_id

The party identifier assigned by the DEFINITY ECS to the trunk generating the charge. Not included in split charges sent due to a conference or a transfer.

called number

The outbound number that was dialed or requested.This is the same called number reported by CDR. This number is represented before any digit manipulation, but does not include ARS, FAC or TAC.

NOTE:

The called number contained in the Charging Event Report differs from the called number contained in other event reports sent after a Switch-Classified call is classified as answered. Once a Switch-Classified call is classified as answered, the split or VDN which placed the call becomes the called number in most event reports. However, any Charging Event Reports sent will use the original called number.

charging number

Indicates the local party that added the trunk to the call, or an external party number if the ISDN-PRI (or R2-MFC) calling party number is available. If no local party is involved, and no calling party number is available for an external call, then the TAC of the trunk used on the incoming call will be present. This number
