Tracking calls by account code
You can have your users to enter account codes before they make calls. By doing 
this, you can have a record of how much time was spent on the phone doing 
business with or for a particular client. 
Instructions
In this example, we are going to set up the system to allow the user at extension 
5004 to enter a 5-digit account code before making a call. 
1. Type 
change system-parameters cdr and press RETURN.
The CDR System Parameters screen appears.
2. In the CDR Account Code Length field, type

Forcing users to enter account 
codes
Forced Entry of Account Codes is another form of account code dialing. You can 
use it to allow certain types of calls only with an account code, to track fax 
machine usage by account, or just to make sure that you get account information 
on all relevant calls.
Before you start
Before you can administer Forced Entry of Account Codes, it must be enabled on 
the System Parameters Customer-Options screens. If it is not, please contact your 
Lucent representative. 
Instructions
In this example, we administer the system to force users in our North American 
office to enter an account code before making international calls. 
1. Type 
change system-parameters cdr and press RETURN.
The CDR System Parameters screen appears.
2. In the Force Entry of Acct Code for Calls Marked on Toll Analysis Form 
field, type 
y.
3. In the CDR Account Code Length field, type

7. In the first available Dialed String field, type 011. 
This is the international access code for this office. 
8. In the Total Min and Max columns, type 10 and 18, respectively. 
This is the minimum and maximum number of digits the system will 
analyze when determining how to handle the call. 
9. In the Toll List and CDR FEAC columns, type x. 
10. Press 
ENTER to save your changes. 
More information
You can also establish a class of restriction with Forced Entry of Account Codes 
set to 
y, and assign this COR to trunks or other facilities that you want to restrict. 
With this method, all users with this COR must enter account codes before 
making any outgoing trunk calls. See ‘‘
Class of Restriction’’ on page 533 for 
more information. 
Receiving call-charge information
DEFINITY ECS 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.
nAdvice of Charge (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.
nPeriodic Pulse Metering (for non-ISDN trunks) Periodic Pulse Metering 
(PPM) 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 Lucent Technologies representative 
can help you determine the type of service you need.
NOTE:
This service is not offered by the public network in some countries, 
including the US.

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. 
1. Type 
change trunk-group 2. 
The ISDN trunk group screen appears with existing administration for this 
ISDN trunk group. 
2. In the CDR Reports field, type 
y.
This ensures that the AOC information appears on the CDR report. 
3. Verify that Service Type is 
public-ntwrk.
4. In the Supplementary Service Protocol field, type a.
5. The Charge Advice field, type 
end-on-request. 
This ensures that the switch will place one request for charge information. 
This reduces the amount of information passed to the switch and consumes 
less processor time than other options. 
6. Press 
ENTER to save your changes.

Receiving call-charge information over 
non-ISDN trunks
In this example, we will administer an existing DIOD trunk to receive PPM from 
the public network. 
1. Type 
change trunk-group 3. 
The Trunk Group screen appears with existing administration for this trunk 
group. 
2. In the CDR Reports field, type

two-way.
4. In the PPM field, type y.
5. In the Frequency field, type 
50/12.
This is the signal frequency (in kHz). The frequency you will use depends 
on what the circuit pack you use is able to accept. See ‘‘
Trunk Group’’ on 
page 980 for more information. 
6. In the Administrable Timers section, set the Outgoing Glare Guard timer to 
5 seconds.
7. Press 
ENTER to save your changes. 
8. You also need to ensure that the values of the Digital Metering Pulse 
Minimum, Maximum and Value on the DS1 Circuit Pack screen are 
appropriate to the values offered by your service provider. See ‘‘
DS1 
Circuit Pack’’ on page 613 for more information.

Viewing call charge information
DEFINITY ECS provides two ways for you to view call-charge information: on a 
telephone display or as part of the Call Detail Recording (CDR) report. From a 
display, users can see the cost of an outgoing call, both while the call is in progress 
and at the end of the call.
Instructions
In this example, we administer extension 5040 to be able to view the charge of a 
call in progress. The charges will appear in currency units (in this case, Lira) on 
the user’s telephone display. 
1. Type 
change trunk-group 2 and press RETURN. 
The Trunk Group
 screen appears. 
2. In the Charge Conversion field, type 
200.
This indicates that one charge unit sent from the service provider is equal to 
200 units, in this case, Lira.
3. In the Decimal Point field, type 
none.
4. In the Charge Type field, type 
Lira.

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 Automatic Charge Display to 
y on the user’s Class of Restriction (COR) 
screen.
