CDR Output
The ISDN Call Charge or PPM field contains the last cumulative charge received
from the network. If Call Splitting or Attendant Call Recording is enabled, and a
call has been transferred for the first time, the ISDN Call Charge field contains the
cumulative charge most recently received from the network.
For all subsequent transfers, the ISDN Call Charge field contains the difference
between the cumulative charge most recently received and the value generated in
the previous CDR record for the same call.
A zero appears in the Call Charge field when: no AOC information is received; a
value of zero is the last charge information received; or the outgoing trunk group
is not administered for AOC or PPM.
Charge Display and CDR
DEFINITY ECS provides two ways for you to view call-charge information: on a
display or as part of the Call Detail Recording (CDR) report.
From a display, you can see the cost of an outgoing call, both while the call is in
progress and at the end of the call. If you want end users to control when they
view this information, you can assign a display button that they can press to see
the current call charges. If you want call charges to display automatically
whenever a user places an outgoing call, you can set the Automatic Charge
Display field to
y on the user’s Class of Restriction (COR) screen.
You can administer the system so that call charges appear on CDR reports. You
can also allow users to view call charges on phone displays. For information on
how to set this up, see ‘‘
Viewing call charge information’’ on page 449.
Considerations
The Primary (or Secondary) Output Format for the CDR report must be one of the
following types.
■ Customized — You must also include either the ISDN-CC or PPM fields in
your record design. If you use both types of call-charge information, you
need both fields.
■ Expanded (Enhanced 24-word standard ASCII)
■ Int-direct
