Tariff Configuration on PGW

[pax_2111]

Hi,

I am a little bit confused concerning the AOC implementation in PGW. Hope someone can shed some light.

There are 3 different categories: tariff, pri-tariff and Meter Pulse messages. As I understood tariff, pri-tariff are for CDR purposes only. While MPM generates the pulses on the trunk.

I want to configure AOC for a PRI. I want PGW to generate periodic pulses over the trunk and advise the far end PBX of the charge.

Shall I use pri-tariff or MPM?

Also what are the bare essential steps of the configuration. The examples in the docs are not clear for me.

Thanks for any help.

Here is what is supported:

? Support for AOC messages over ISUP trunks as per AOC99

? Support for AOC supplementary service as charge determination point for AOC-S, AOC-D, and AOC-E over PRI links as per ETSI 300 182

What doc were you looking at - here is the one for this feature:

Let me know if the above doc does not answer your questions.

Thanks.

I had read that document several times before posting the message. But this is proving a frustrating task.

VSPT is no good for AOC ocnifguration (it complains about any empty field).

I am testing a basic configuration with

AOCDefaultTariffId = 2

AOCEnabled = 1

AOCInvokeType = 2

Pritariff table is configured as such:

prov-add:Pritariff:tariffid=1,schargeditem=2,sca=1,srecchrg=4,drecchrg=2,erecchrg=3,currency="dollars",amount=1,amtmult=1,timelen=60,timescale=3,granularity=10,granularityscale=2,vol=0,scu=0,billingid=0,chargingunits=6,duration=0,ratetype=1

prov-add:Pritariff:tariffid=2,schargeditem=2,sca=1,srecchrg=1,drecchrg=2,erecchrg=3,currency="dollars",amount=1,amtmult=1,timelen=60,timescale=3,granularity=10,granularityscale=2,vol=0,scu=0,billingid=0,chargingunits=6,duration=0,ratetype=1

prov-add:Pritariff:tariffid=3,drecchrg=2,currency="dollars",amount=1,amtmult=3,timelen=60,timescale=2,granularity=1,granularityscale=2,billingid=0,chargingunits=50,duration=60000,ratetype=0

prov-add:Pricharge:chorig=1,chdest=1,stariffdesc="1",dtariffdesc="1",etariffdesc="1"

tariff 1 usese AOC-S ane AOC-E free of charge.

Tariff 2 uses all AOC types, and tariff 3 uses only AOC-D.

But I get no charging data on the PRI. ISDN debug has the following:

Facility i = 0x91A12F02010102011F302730250A0102A1208103435950A206810101820101830101A40681013C820103A50681010A820102

Pls ignore my previous message.

I managed to configure AOC-E.

The entry is the followung:

prov-add:pritariff:tariffid=4,erecchrg=1,currency="dollars",amount=1,amtmult=3,timelen=60,timescale=1,granularity=1,granularityscale=2,billingid=0,chargingunits=50,duration=0,ratetype=1

If I configure erecchrg=2 (currency unit), at the end of the call an unreasonable value is being sent (3157552)

IDSN Debug:

Operation = AOCECurrency

Currency = dollars

Currency amount = 3157552, Multiplier = 1

If I configure erecchrg=1 (charge unit) the same charge units are being sent (60) no matter how long the duration of the call.

I might be wrong in the configuration of parameters, but the correlation of the parameters is not clear (page 11 of the mentioned document).

Also the examples on pp 39-40 have many mistakes.

Is there another source for these parameters?

Looks like there may be a bug here in addition to correcting the docs.

Please open a TAC case and we can address these issues.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I openned a TAC case.
