7.8.5. Call Data Recording for Outgoing Connections Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Call data recording for outgoing connections (trunk and tie traffic) is always configured using Least Cost Routing (LCR) parameters. The VOICE/FAX and DATA services are normally handled in the same way as far as charges are concerned. Because you can configure LCR separately depending on the service, you can also assign another cost parameter to each service.
Configuration commands:
  1. Activate the feature for outgoing trunk calls (including charge display) as follows:
    CHANGE-FEASU:TYPE=A,CM=CDROGTR&DISCHTR; 
    
  2. Activate the feature for outgoing tie traffic (including charge display) as follows:
    CHANGE-FEASU:TYPE=A,CM=CDROGNW&DISCHNW;
    
  3. Assign the LCR charge parameters as follows:
    CHA-LDAT:LROUTE=<number>[,LSVC=VCE],
    LRTEL=<number>,CARRIER=1,ZONE=LONG01,LATTR=WCHREG;
    
    Explanation of important parameters:
    CARRIER:
    Network operator
    ZONE:
    Distance zone (EMPTY=no charges); you must configure the ZONE with the AMO TTBL
    LATTR:
    WCHREG activates call data recording for this routing element (see examples in Section 68.10, "Examples").
    NOTRANS deactivates call data recording in all transit nodes in the
    route; only the charges reported by the CO are sent back to the source node (see example in Section 68.10.1, "Internal Call Data Recording in the Network").
    EODSTCDR starts call data recording right after the end of dialing.
    INTCHARG treats outgoing tie connections as internal connections (see example in Section 68.10.1, "Internal Call Data Recording in the Network")
    NOCHDISP suppresses the call display in the source node if an "expensive" route is used on the way to the destination node (e.g., overflow into the CO) (see example in "Section 68.10.2, "Tie Traffic with Incoming Charges and Trunk Traffic in Transit"").
  4. Define COT with the DPRE class of service and assign it to the trunk and tie circuits. DPRE causes the prefix digits to be added to the destination number that is sent to call data recording. This setting takes effect when an overflow trunk group is seized via a toll line.
    If the network nodes have different ZAND settings for CDDISPEX (unit/charge), you must assign a COT with/without TRSC parameter to the trunk in the transit node (see example in Section 68.10.2, "Tie Traffic with Incoming Charges and Trunk Traffic in Transit").
    If TRSC is set, charges are sent on this line in the direction of the source node; these can be displayed there, e.g. without ongoing call data recording. If TRSC is not set, then units are sent. This parameter works only in a connection's transit node.
    CHA-COT:COTNO=15,COTTYPE=COTADD,PAR=DPRE;
    
    CHA-COT:COTNO=15,COTTYPE=COTADD,PAR=TRSC;   
    (only in transit node)
    
    CHA-TDCSU: PEN=<g-uu-bbb-sss>,COTNO=15;
    
  5. Define the class of service (COS) with CDRSTN authorization and assign it to the stations at which the charges should be displayed. Assign the COS to the station with the AMOs ACSU, SCSU, SBCSU; you must also use the AMOs TACSU, TSCSU, TDCSU to assign it to a circuit whose protocol cannot transmit the classmarks.
    CHA-COSSU:TYPE=COS,COS=5,AVCE=CDRSTN,AFAX=CDRSTN,
    ADTE=CDRSTN;
     
    CHA-SCSU:STNO=<number>,COS1=5,COS2=5; 
    

Explanation of the following tables.

Table 48: In addition to the charges calculated in the separate node, it is also possible to receive call charge information from the line. Table 48 shows what affect the LCR parameters (AMO LDAT) have in this regard.
Table 49: If charges are received from the line, they are displayed according to this table. The charges were calculated in foreign nodes or they originate with the CO. The influence of activated call data recording is limited to a possible conversion of units into amounts or vice versa.
Table 50: If call data recording is activated and no charges are received from the line, the charges are calculated and displayed according to Table 50.
IMPORTANT:
Calculated charges are not added to charges that were received from the line. Charges from the line are always dominant.
