Event Reporting and U-Abort Capabilities

indicates to the application the number that may be used as the device that is being charged.

NOTE:

This number is not always identical to the CPN or SID that is provided in other event reports that report on the same call.

trunk group/trunk group member

Indicates the group and member number of the trunk which received the charge from the network.

type of charge

Indicates the charge type provided by the network. Valid types are:

Intermediate charge

This is a charge sent by the trunk while the call is active. The charge amounts reported to ASAI in intermediate charges are cumulative. If a call receives two or more consecutive intermediate charges, then the amount from the last intermediate charge replaces the amount(s) of the previous intermediate charges. The amounts are not added to produce a total charge.

Final charge

This charge is sent by the trunk when a call is dropped. If call CDR outgoing call splitting is not enabled, then the final charge reflects the charge for the entire call.

Split charge

CDR outgoing call splitting is used to divide the charge for a call among different users. For example, if an outgoing call is placed by one station and transferred to a second station, and if CDR call splitting is enabled, then CDR (and ASAI charging events) would charge the first station up to the time of the transfer, and the second station after that.

A split charge reflects the charge for the call up to the time the split charge is sent (starting at the beginning of the call, or at the previous split charge). Any charge events received after a split charge will reflect only that portion of the charges which took place after the split charge.

If split charges are received for a call, then the total charge for the call can be computed by adding the split charges and the final charge.

charge

The amount of charge (0-536,870,880).
