Receiving Call-Charge Information - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

Receiving Call-Charge Information

Avaya Communication Manager provides two ways to receive information from the public
network about the cost of calls. Note that this service is not offered by the public network in
some countries, including the US.
Advice of Charge (AOC, for ISDN trunks) collects charge information from the public
●
network for each outgoing call. Charge advice is a number representing the cost of a call;
it may be recorded as either a charging or currency unit.
Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM, for non-ISDN trunks) accumulates pulses transmitted from
●
the public network at periodic intervals during an outgoing trunk call. At the end of the call,
the number of pulses collected is the basis for determining charges.
Before you start
You need to request either AOC or PPM service from your network provider. In some areas,
your choice may be limited. Your Avaya technical support representative can help you
determine the type of service you need.

Collecting call charge information over ISDN
In this example, we administer the system to provide Advice of Charge over an existing ISDN
trunk group, at the end of a call. This information will appear on CDR reports.
