6.1.8. Types of Charge Calculation Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The charge calculation has been adjusted to meet the new Euro-ISDN requirements and the requirement for a calculation done without call charge units. The following types of charge calculation are used:
  • Charge calculation for internal traffic over internal zones (maximum of 9); the zones can be allocated by ITR group. The cost parameter of the ITR group in which the chargeable station is located always applies.
  • Charge calculation with call charge units (price/call charge unit)
  • Charge calculation with amounts (factor)
  • Charge calculation for Euro-ISDN with cost parameters that are reported by the trunk (AOC-S, AOC-D, and AOC-E).
  • Charge calculation without charge information based on cost parameters (CARRIER and ZONE) and length of the connection.
You can assign different prices for variable clocks (for example, for n sec. connection duration) for each cost parameter and time of day (which can also vary for each cost parameter). Different rate period tables and minimum and basic charges can be taken into account for each cost parameter.
If the network signals charge information, this information is included when calculating the charges.
The charge calculation is done centrally in the call detail recording. The calculated charges are passed on to the call processing and shown on the telephone station's Digite display (CDRD).
