ASAI and Feature Interactions
12-18 Issue 7 May 1998
single call by CDR and by ASAI Advice of Charge. However, CDR Call
Splitting will apply if there are subsequent transfers of the call, provided
that CDR call splitting is enabled.
AOC and CDR many both receive charge information from the network about the
same trunk.
The parameters in the System Parameters CDR form that affect the contents of
the Calling Number in a Call Detail Record will affect the Charging Number in a
Charging Event Report the same way.
Call Splitting
If Call Splitting is enabled on the CDR System Parameters form, the charging
number field in the Charging Event Report may change - depending on whether
the call was conferenced or transferred.
NOTE:
See ‘‘Conference’’ on page 12-27 and ‘‘Transfer’’ on page 12-55 in this
chapter for more information on AOC interactions with Call Splitting.
If call splitting is enabled and the charging party transfers the call, then ASAI will
receive a charging event for the first portion of the call. This charging event will
indicate the charge amount accumulated to the current time, and the number to
charge against. The charge type will be reported as “split charge.” Subsequent
charge events will be against a new charging number (usually the transferred-to
station). The charge amounts in these subsequent charge events will be adjusted
downward by the amount that was charged to the first charging party.
Call Splitting also applies if the charging party conferences a third party, and then
the charging party disconnects from the call. However, if the charging party
disconnects from a call and leaves three or more parties on the call, then call
splitting is not applied. Charges continue to accumulate against the original
charging party until the call ends or call splitting occurs.
The “split charge” reported (due to CDR call splitting) will not include a Party
Identifier IE.
Both CDR and CDR Call Splitting must be enabled on the CDR System
Parameters form for the CDR Call Splitting feature to work.
Split charges are also used for calls of more than ten hours duration. These split
charges are not considered part of CDR Call Splitting. They are reported whether
or not CDR Call Splitting is enabled. These charges include a Party Identifier IE.
See ‘‘Lengthy Calls’’ on page 3-34 of this document for details.
