Fields With Subfields
Some fields are defined as having sub-fields (for example, Access Transfer Specific Data or Redirection Feature Specific Data). The field could be empty if no information is available, so when decoding the field you should check for zero content. If there are sub-fields present, then the field will contain double quotes with a number of commas dependent on the number of sub-fields being printed.
The following table lists the SBC Accounting Records. Click the field name to view the description.
SBC may insert non-ASCII characters in CDRs when messages are parsed in the initial INVITE.
This record indicates that the call has been successfully established/connected and session has successfully started.
This record indicates that a previously established successful session has now terminated.
This record indicates that a call/session failure scenario where a call/session could not be successfully established.
The ATTEMPT record is generated for every INVITE attempt, if the flag attemptRecordGeneration
flag is enabled.
This record captures any changes to signaling/call details during the session. For scenarios where the call duration is long, this record is also generated periodically to indicate session progress.
This record indicates a node reboot occurred.
This record indicates that the node experienced a switchover that is, standby mode went to active due to a switchover initiated from the CLI or as a result of a problem on the active node.
This record indicates an LSWU change:
Gateway Name field (up to 23 characters).
If parameter loading is turned on, then the previously configured node name will appear in the REBOOT and SWITCHOVER records.
If parameter loading is turned off or Node Name object is never configured, this value is "None" in the REBOOT and SWITCHOVER records.
Accounting ID (64 bits in HEX format).
This identifier occurs in each record, and combined with the Gateway Name field uniquely identifies the call accounting information on a network basis for an extended period of time. In a REBOOT record, this is the accounting ID of the first call attempted on the GSX.
Shelf Number | Boot Count | Call ID |
The Boot Count increments for each self-reboot or switch-over.
Start time in System Ticks (system tick = 10 ms) - the timestamp of when Setup Request was received (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
This field can include any of the strings shown in the Time Zone section.
This page lists some GMT-based time zones, but it is possible to have any of the time zones shown in the Time Zone list.
Start Date (mm/dd/yyyy) - GMT date stamp when Setup Request was received. This value is provided by NTP.
In the REBOOT record, this is the date the SBC was last booted.
This field is combined with the Start Time (Time) Field for stream-based CDR logging.
Start Time (hh:mm:ss.d) (d=deci-seconds) - GMT timestamp when Setup Request was received, for example 16:20:38.6. This value is provided by NTP.
In the REBOOT record, this is the time that the SBC was last booted.
This field is combined with the Start Time Field (Date) for stream-based CDR logging.
The Old Software Version field represents the SBC software running before the Live Software Upgrade occurred. This is a 14-character string using the following format:
The New Software Version field represents the GSX/SBC software running after a Live Software Upgrade, and is a 14-character string in the following format:2:
[START (8) | STOP (8) | ATTEMPT (8) | INTERMEDIATE (8)]
Time Elapsed from Receipt of Setup Message to the first Policy Server/ Ribbon SoftSwitch Response in 10 millisecond ticks (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
Time Elapsed from Receipt of Setup Message to Receipt of Alerting/Proc/Prog in 10 millisecond ticks (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
Time Elapsed from Receipt of Setup Message to Service Established (Receipt of Answer and Completion of Cut-through) in 10 millisecond ticks (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
Intermediate Date (mm/dd/yyyy) - GMT datestamp when Intermediate Accounting Timer expired, for example 02/06/1999.
This field is combined with the Intermediate Time Field (Time) for stream-based CDR logging.
Intermediate Time (hh:mm:ss.d) (d=deci-seconds) - GMT timestamp when Intermediate Accounting Timer expired, for example 16:20:38.6.
This field is combined with the Intermediate Time (Date) Field for stream-based CDR logging.
Disconnect Date (mm/dd/yyyy) - GMT date stamp when Disconnect Request was received.
The Disconnect Date field is not set by reading NTP time. Instead, the disconnect date stamp is calculated by adding the elapsed time between the Setup and Disconnect Messages to the Start date stamp. This indirect method ensures the difference between the Start and Disconnect Dates reflects the true duration of the call, even if the NTP server adjusted time of day during the call. See "Disconnect Time (Time)" below for an explanation and example of this method.
This field is combined with the Disconnect Time (Time) Field for stream-based CDR logging.
Disconnect Time (hh:mm:ss.d) (d=deci-seconds) - GMT time stamp when Disconnect Request was received, for example 16:20:38.6.
The Disconnect Time field is not set by reading NTP time. Instead, the disconnect time stamp is calculated by adding the elapsed time between the Setup and Disconnect Messages to the Start time stamp. This indirect method ensures the difference between the Start and Disconnect Times reflects the true duration of the call, even if the NTP server adjusted time of day during the call.
For example: assume a Setup Message is received at 01:00:00.0 GMT (NTP Time). Then over the next hour the NTP server rolls back NTP time by one minute. Also after exactly one hour (360000 ten-millisecond ticks) a Disconnect message is received, terminating the call. The new NTP time when this disconnect is received is 01:59:00.0 GMT (but would have been 02:00:00.0 GMT if NTP adjustment did not occur). In reality the caller spent 60 minutes on the phone, not 59. Because of the indirect disconnect time calculation described above, the GSX/SBC logs disconnect time as 02:00:00.0 GMT. In summary, the disconnect time is based on the NTP start time plus elapsed time to disconnect, not the NTP disconnect time.
The elapsed time between the Setup and Disconnect Messages can be calculated by adding the "Time Elapsed from Receipt of Setup Message to Service5 Established" and "Call Service Duration" fields. The latter field measures time elapsed from service established to receipt of disconnect message.
This field is combined with the Disconnect Time ( Date) Field for stream-based CDR logging.
Time Elapsed from Disconnect receipt to Call Termination completion in 10 millisecond ticks (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
Call Service Duration in 10 millisecond ticks. This count is initiated when the answer message is received and continues to increment until one leg of the call is released (Decimal number 0 - 4294967295).
Call Disconnect Reason (0 - 255).
The Call Termination Reason Codes are taken from the Q.931 Standard for all codes less than 128.
Codes equal to or greater than 128 are Ribbon Reason Codes. The Ribbon Reason Codes are never contained in messages sent to the PSTN, but are instead mapped to an appropriate Q.931 Standard code.
The Ribbon Reason Codes appear in the system event logs to give specific information about the call failure. These codes may expand in the future.
The CAS SSP configuration allows the administrator to specify which disconnect reason codes to return when the errors are encountered during the CAS call establishment. For more information, see Disconnect Code Mapping
If the SBC receives a call release or call disconnect with a cause value that is not listed in the "Call Termination Reason Code" table , then that value is mapped to one of the eight Mapped To cause values listed in the "Mapping by Cause Code Class" table below. In all cases, the Mapped To value is determined by the Class of the returned cause value as shown in the table. The Class is determined by the three high order bits of the 7-bit representation of the cause value.
For example, cause value 14 (PORTED NUMBER) may be represented as 000 1110, which is Class 000. Cause value 52 (OUTGOING CALLS BARRED) is represented as 011 0100, which is class 011. Hence, from "Mapping by Cause Code Class" table, cause value 14 is mapped to cause value 31 (NORMAL_UNSPECIFIED) and cause value 52 is mapped to cause value 63 (SERVICE_OR_OPTION_NOT_AVAILABLE_UNSPECIFIED).
When a mapped Disconnect Code is sent to the preceding switch by the GSX/SBC, that Disconnect Code is also placed in either the "Call Disconnect Reason Transmitted to Egress" or the "Call Disconnect Reason Transmitted to Ingress".
The Call Disconnect Reason Code Mapping table provides a "single source" reference that, for each ISUP Disconnect Code received, shows the mapped Disconnect Code that is stored in the CDR that is generated by the ISUP, ISDN, H.323, and SIP services respectively. This table also shows the standard(s) that define a particular ISUP Disconnect Code.
When SIP rejection responses must be signaled to the PSTN, the mappings shown in the SIP to ISUP Disconnect Code Mapping table are recommended by RFC 3398 and implemented by Ribbon. If the SIP rejection message contains an encapsulated REL message, then the Cause Indicator (CAI) parameter in the generated REL gets set to the value of the CAI parameter received in the encapsulated REL.
Whenever a Reason Header is encountered in any SIP message (such as BYE, CANCEL, 4xx, or 5xx), the GSX/SBC will use the Reason Header cause value for the Disconnect Code.
If the Reason Header is absent from the message, the ISUP Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (Mime) cause value, if available, is used for the Disconnect Code. Otherwise stated, the GSX/SBC precedence for deriving the Disconnect Code in SIP/ISUP interworking is:
This conforms to RFC 3398 recommendations. You may configure the PSX IP PROFILE object to reverse this mapping behavior, thus conforming to the Q.1912.5 recommendation.
This field identifies the service delivered for VoIP/Circuit Switched Voice (up to 22 characters).
The format of this field is an enumeration when using stream-based CDR logging.
This field (up to 12 characters) defines the call direction, such as:
The first stage of a two stage call is either PSTN-TO-TERM or IP-TO-TERM. The second stage of a two stage call is either TERM-TO-PSTN or TERM-TO-IP.
This field conveys the signaling scenario for the call, including whether ingress is a PSTN signaling/IP signaling, and whether egress is PSTN signaling/IP signaling. For example, a call that has ingress signaling as ISUP and egress signaling as ISUP, Call Direction = "PSTN-TO-PSTN". For a call that has ingress signaling as H.323, and egress signaling as ISDN, Call Direction = "IP-TO-PSTN". For a call that has ingress signaling as CAS, and egress signaling as GSX/SBC gateway-to-gateway protocol, Call Direction = "PSTN-TO-IP". A call that has ingress signaling as H.323, and egress signaling as GSX/SBC gateway-to-gateway protocol shows Call Direction = "IP-TO-IP".
When an ATTEMPT record is generated by a blocking script, this field is set to UNKNOWN (since the call is not established, Call Direction is undefined or UNKNOWN).
When an ATTEMPT record is generated after the GSX/SBC routes the call, but a subsequent switch disconnected the call before the call is established, this field is populated with a valid value.
When a START, STOP, or INTERMEDIATE record is generated by a successfully established call, this field is populated with a valid value.
The format of this field is an enumeration when using stream-based CDR logging.
This field (up to 23 characters) is populated with the route partition ID the PSX used for routing a call.
This ISUP signaling parameter field (string up to four characters, for example 0288) is populated using either the information received in the IAM (if ingress signaling is ISUP) or information returned by the PSX in a policy response. The PSX obtains information from configuration tables. If the ingress signaling group and the PSX do not provide a value for this field, this field is empty.
The Calling Number Address Digits are sent out on the egress signaling side, and is the end result of any digit manipulations and address translation performed by the PSX during the policy request processing on the calling number received from ingress signaling.
The Called Number Address Digits are sent out on the egress signaling side, and is the end result of any digit manipulations and address translation performed by the PSX during the policy request processing on the called number received from ingress signaling.
This field is a string not used in routing the call, and is received via Overlap Address Messages such as SAM. This field is significant when the ingress signaling protocol supports overlap addressing (for example, SAM messages in ISUP, INFO messages in ISDN), and contains any digits obtained by the GSX/SBC after successfully routing the call based on digits collected before receiving overlap address signaling message.
For example, if GSX/SBC receives "978-321" in the IAM, we route the call using these digits, and subsequently receive a SAM message with 1234, the accounting records contains:
This field defines the number of called number translations performed on the node (length: decimal 0-2).
This and the following fields carry information about TollFree/LNP translation performed by the PSX.
For example the called number received by the GSX/SBC in the incoming IAM is 1-800-123-1234. The PSX performs toll-free translation, and the result is 617-123-1234. Subsequently, it performs LNP translation, and the result is 781-123-1000.
In this case, the following applies:
Called Number = 781-123-1000
Number of Called Num Translations Done by This Node = 2
Called Number Before Translation #1 = 1-800-123-1234
Translation Type 1 = 2
Called Number Before Translation #2 = 617-123-1234
Translation Type 2 = 1
In another example, if the called number in the incoming IAM was 617-123-1234, and the PSX performs an LNP translation, the result is 781-123-1000. Consequently, the accounting records contains:
Called Number = 781-123-1000
Number of Called Num Translations Done by This Node = 1
Called Number Before Translation #1 = 617-123-1234
Translation Type 1 = 1
Called Number Before Translation #2 – Empty
Translation Type 2 - 0
The "Called Number Before Translation #1" field represents the called number before PSX performs any address translations as well as the called number after any digit manipulations are performed.
To view the called number received from ingress signaling (before any digit manipulation), see "Dialed Number". This field is populated in an ATTEMPT record in the absence of the PSX query response, if the preceding switch performs the translation and the call is torn down before the PSX response is received. The presence of the M bit in the received ISUP Initial Address Message (IAM) External Furnish Charging Info (FCI) message indicates that the preceding switch performed the translation.
This field contains the called number before the first translation is performed, and carries information about TollFree/LNP translation performed by the PSX.
This field is empty ("") if no translations are performed, and occurs when the Translation Type 1 field is "0" (CPC_ADDR_TRANS_NONE) See "Translation Type 1" for details.
This field is also empty ("") when all of the following conditions are true:
This field is populated in an ATTEMPT record in the absence of a PSX query response if the preceding switch performs the translation and call is torn down before PSX response is received. The presence of the M bit in the received ISUP Initial Address Message (IAM) External Furnish Charging Info (FCI) message indicates that the preceding switch has performed the translation.
This field carries information about the first translation performed by the PSX:
This field contains the called number before the second translation is performed, and carries information about TollFree/LNP translation performed by the PSX.
This field is empty ("") if less than two translations are performed, and occurs when Translation Type 2 field (see "Translation Type 2") is "0" (CPC_ADDR_TRANS_NONE).
This field is also empty ("") when all of the following conditions are true:
This field carries information about the second translation performed by the PSX:
This field is a string of up to 30 characters. The record is populated using the following precedence:
This record is a string of up to 23 characters. The content of this record depends upon the type of call route that is returned from the PSX:
The PSX supports to send RL for each route of a call in the policy response message to the SBC. The flag Enable Per Route Routing Label
is added to the Feature Control Profile (FCP) entity screen. When the flag Enable Per Route Routing
Label
is enabled on the PSX, the PSX returns the RL for each route. The SBC stores these RLs in the CDR records for each call.
Enable Per Route Routing
Label
is enabled, the CDR RL field is populated from the per-route data returned from the PSX.Enable Per Route Routing
Label
is disabled, the SBC stores the per-call routing label returned from the PSX in the CDR Routing Label field.The Route Attempt Number (Decimal number 1 - 65535).
The route selected:
If Gateway Name is unknown, Gateway IP Address displays according to address type:
The Route Selected field is not populated on the egress GW when making GW-GW calls.
For packet based egress trunk groups, the IPv4 or the IPv6 address can be used for egress signaling on the local SBC.
The local SBC generates this accounting record; the device at the far end of the packet network is the remote address.
If the egress trunk group is circuit-based, this field is empty ("").
For packet-based egress trunk groups, the IPv4 or the IPv6 address can be used for egress signaling on the far end of the packet network.
The local GSX/SBC generates this accounting record; the device at the far end of the packet network is the remote address. The device at this address may be another GSX/SBC gateway, and H.323 device, or a SIP device.
If the egress trunk group is circuit based, this field is empty ("").
The origination gateway logs the name of the external trunk group which exists between the ingress network and the origination gateway in this field. The destination gateway logs the name of the internal IP trunk group which exists between the origination gateway and destination gateway in this field.
Applicable only for PSTN-IP and PSTN-PSTN calls.

The Remote IP Address and Port number is not available in certain call attempt situations captured in ATTEMPT records.
Examples include when the remote gateway has no available routes, or when the address information is not contained in a backwards release message. In these situations, the IP Address and Port display as "0.0.0.0:0". The remote data is always available in START, INTERMEDIATE and STOP records for completed calls.
The default IP address 127.0.0.0 is taken as remote IP address and the default port 5004 is taken as remote port when a NAT call is made without sending media from the endpoints.

The carrier identification code (up to five characters) of the carrier used for carrying the call on the egress trunk (for example 0288). This code is provided by the ingress signaling group from the appropriate parameters in its signaling protocol. For example, ISUP obtains it from the Carrier Identification Code parameter in an IAM message, or from the PSX in a policy response. If the ingress signaling group and the PSX do not provide a value, this field is empty.
An internal identifier (up to 32 bits of hexadecimal data) bound to each call used by the GSX/SBC to group calls associated to each other. Multiple calls (with different Global Call IDs) involved in transfer and redirection scenarios have the same Call Group ID.
Example: "0x0000002F"
A string that contains data logged by a Ribbon CPL script that was executed for the call.
Multiple variables are logged within this field, with each variable data separated from the next variable by a configurable separator. The default value for the separator is slash . The data for each script variable includes the variable ID and the variable value, with a ":" as the separator. For example, the data string:
12:9786928999/108:12345

The Field content depends upon whether the PSX is supporting a JAPAN variant.
If the JAPAN variant is being supported, then this field is the "Own Carrier ID" that is provisioned against the ingress trunk group, and is a string of up to five characters, for example "0288".
If a Non-JAPAN variant is being supported, then this field is the Carrier Code of the carrier that owns the Far End of the ingress trunk group. This is a string of up to 5 characters.
The "Trunk Ownership Fields in START/STOP Records" figure illustrates a typical PSTN-to-PSTN network in which the local GSX/SBC is writing accounting records to its NFS (DSI Level 0) file system. This figure depicts the Carrier Identification Codes that are contained in the Carrier Code of the Carrier that Owns the Far End of the Ingress/Egress Trunk Group fields.
This scenarios applies to all PSTN-to-PSTN networks except Japan.
Field content depends upon whether the PSX is supporting a JAPAN variant.
This field is a string of up to five characters, and is populated using the following precedence:
In all cases, a string of up to five characters is placed in this record (for example "0288").
The Calling Party Category (CPC) field is a hexadecimal value between 0x00 and 0xff. All letters are lower case and leading zeros are always displayed. The length is always four characters, two for the "0x" and two more for the CPC value.
The Calling Party Category Enumeration Values table lists the valid CPC hex values.
On the ingress GSX/SBC, this is the actual dialed number contained in the incoming setup message (IAM) received by the GSX/SBC from the ingress signaling group before any digit manipulation or address translations are performed by the ERE.
On the egress GSX/SBC, this is the called number from the Gateway-to-Gateway signaling message, and contains digit manipulations performed by the ERE.
The ISUP Carrier Selection Information parameter (decimal value) populated either by the ingress ISUP SG or by the PSX in a policy response. If neither the ingress ISUP SG or PSX supplies this field, it takes a value of "0".
The following table lists the valid decimal values.
Table8: Carrier Selection Information Enumeration Values
A decimal value indicating the numbering plan type used for the called number representation. It could be one of ISDN/DATA/TELEX/PRIVATE. The numbering plan for the called number is provided by the ingress signaling group (based on parameters obtained in its signaling messages, or using defaults appropriate to the protocol type), or provided by the PSX in the PSX in the policy response (if it provides a called number in the policy response).
The Numbering Plan Indicator (NPI) range includes ISUP Reserve/Spare values. The block of ISUP NPI enumerations (0 to 7) is appended to the existing Ribbon enumerations of 0-7. The combined NPI valid decimal value range is shown in the below table.
NPI values less than "8" are interpreted as Ribbon NPIs. Values greater than "7" are ISUP (Spare/Reserve) NPIs, to be derived by subtracting "8" from the record value. For example, a record value of "10" is an ISUP 2 NPI (10-8).
ISUP NPIs which map to a Ribbon NPI are generated without any offset.
This field is the original called number if LNP is performed by a switch preceding the GSX/SBC. This field is applicable only if the ingress signaling group is ISUP, and if the IAM indicates that LNP translation was performed by a switch preceding the GSX/ SBC. In this case, the field contains the contents of the ISUP Generic Address Parameter (GAP) digits which contain the called number before the LNP translation is done by the prior switch, as per ISUP protocol.
This field (decimal in range 0-4) identifies how the initiator session is closed:

Released by the ingress signaling group.
Released by the egress signaling group.
Released internally by GSX/SBC at early call attempt stage. Applies only to the ATTEMPT record.
Released by the calling party at an early call attempt stage. Applies only to the ATTEMPT record.
EARLY disconnects may occur before a PSX Policy Request is sent or a PSX Policy Response is received due to an incomplete setup message or a setup message immediately followed by a disconnect from the calling party.

The origination gateway logs the name of the internal IP trunk group which exists between the destination gateway and the origination gateway in this field. The destination gateway logs the name of the external trunk group which exists between the destination gateway and the egress network in this field.
The egress service group protocol variant-specific data. This field is a string of up to 1849 characters, or empty with delimiters "". Whenever any egress service group has protocol variant-specific data to log, the data is logged to this field. See the following pages for specific variants:
During a Live Software Update (LSWU), Ingress and Egress Protocol Variant Specific Data are logged interchangeably to either this field or to the Ingress Protocol Variant Specific Data field. This indeterminate behavior will persist until the LSWU completes as indicated by the SW_CHANGE record.
This field represents the calling number presented to the SBC prior to any digit manipulation or translation by the PSX/ERE. In other words, it is the Calling Number in the Incoming Signaling Message (IAM/SETUP etc.) to the SBC translation.
This field indicates the reason the Intermediate Record is generated:
The Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) Call Type field (also known as AMA Call Code) is provided by the Ribbon PSX and determines how the call is billed, such as Flat Rate, Local Measured, EAS, etc. If AMA Call Type is not available, this field is empty (""). (3-digit decimal number in the range 000-999, with leading zeroes always present.)
This field is determined from the class of service of the calling subscriber together with the office to which his call is directed, and constitutes the basis for determining the charging rate on bulk billed calls where the called number is not recorded in AMA field.
This field is provided by the Ribbon PSX. If MBI is not available, this field is empty (""). (3-digit decimal number in the range 000-999, with leading zeroes always present.)
The Originating Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) field. A LATA is a geographical area defined by the FCC within which a local telephone company may offer telecommunications services.The Originating LATA is provided by the Ribbon PSX in the Policy Response. (3-character string.)
This field signifies which route in the policy response was used for this call. If no routes were successful, then this field is empty (""). The policy response can only hold from 1 to 10 routes. See also Cumulative Route Index.
The Route Index can be combined with the Routing Label (see Route Label) to determine the chosen route.
You must use this when indexing route specific fields within the PSX Billing Info Field. See "PSX Billing Information".
This field (decimal number, 0-4) indicates the calling party number Presentation Restriction using one of the values below:
This field is extracted from the ISDN User Part (ISUP) Initial Address Message (IAM) received on an SS7 trunk. If the number is not available this field is empty (""). (String up to 30 characters.)
The Incoming ISUP Charge Number Nature of Address (NOA) field (decimal number in the range 0-255).
The Dialed Number Nature of Address (NOA) field. (Decimal number from 0-255.)
This field defines the Ingress Codec type, and consists of a string with a maximum of six characters (the two colons in the field are included in this count) in the following format. If audio encoding is not applicable, this field is set to "0".
<networkType>:<codecType>:<audioEncoding>
Examples:
A T.38, version 0 call will be displayed as: “P:6:0”
See the table for a listing of Ingress Codec Type sub-field variables.
This field defines the Egress Codec Type, and consists of a string with a maximum of six characters (the two colons in the field are included in this count) in the following format.
<networkType>:<codecType>:<audioEncoding>
Examples:
A T.38, version 0 call will be displayed as: “P:6:0”
See the table for a listing of Egress Codec Type sub-field variables.
Decimal value indicating the duration of RTP packets in milliseconds, as recorded by the DSP in the resource chain on the ingress leg of the call. If no DSP resources are allocated on the ingress leg of the call, then this field is empty ("").
This field, assigned by the GSX/SBC, uniquely identifies a call within a single SBC and hence is equivalent to the SBC's internally assigned Global Call ID (GCID). This value is unique for this call within a SBC, but will vary from SBC to SBC. Use the Gateway-to-Gateway Handle to uniquely identify a call across multiple SBCs. (32-bit hexadecimal value, prefixed by "0x", such as 0x89ABCDEF
.)
This field (decimal, 0-1) identifies whether or not a script was executed before terminating the call. Possible values:
This field (decimal, 0-1) identifies whether or not the GSX/SBC performed echo cancellation on the ingress leg of this call. Possible values:
This applies only to PSTN to IP and PSTN to PSTN calls. If the call is IP to PSTN, this field is empty ("").
This field indicates if GSX/SBC performed echo cancellation on the egress leg of this call as follows:
This field applies only to IP to PSTN and PSTN to PSTN calls. If the call is PSTN to IP, this field is empty ("").
The Charge Indicator values provisioned on the PSX. These values apply to the Ingress Trunk Group and are shown in the table below.
This field (AMAslpID) is used in an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) environment to record the identification of the service logic in the Service Control Point (SCP). (fixed 9-digit decimal number, with any leading zeroes present).
The table below describes the AMAslpID values. The PSX provides this data in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format, and the GSX/SBC software converts these strings to the fixed 9-character fields described below. If the BCD string contains more than 9 digits, the converted string is truncated. The terminating sign nibble in the BCD string (typically 0xC) is not present in the AMAslpID field.
If this data is unavailable, this field is empty ("").
See GR-1100-CORE, Section 2 for more detail about this native data.
The Billing Automatic Message Accounting Format (BAF) module is used to record a variety of billing information. The first three characters represent the Module Code Identification that, in turn, specifies how to interpret the remaining characters. See the below table for these codes.
The remaining characters are defined in Section 1.4 "Data Fields" of the Telcordia Technologies Generic Requirements (GR-1100-CORE) Issue 4. Refer to that document for all definitions.
A string of 4-256 hexadecimal characters. If the BAF Module is unavailable, this field is empty ("").
The BAF Module Names table lists each valid BAF Module code and name as published in Telcordia Technologies Generic Requirements (GR-1100-CORE) Issue 4. The Telcordia document defines BAF Module names.
AMA Set Hex AB Indicator:
This field is a BAF parameter indicating a customer's originating or terminating line characteristics. This indication may be used by an accounting application to assess applicable tariffs to determine the price for services rendered.
This ID, if available, is provided by PSX/ERE as a fixed 3-digit decimal number. If no data is available, this field is left empty ("").
The GSX/SBC passes this data to the accounting record unchanged. The terminating sign nibble (typically hexadecimal C) is not propagated to the accounting record.
The Service Feature IDs table lists valid Service Feature IDs.
An optional parameter in backwards call control messages (ACM, CPG, ANM, and Gateway-to-Gateway signaling).
If the egress GSX/SBC is the terminating switch, then the GSX/SBC generates this parameter. Otherwise, the downstream legacy switch generates this parameter, and then the GSX/SBC logs and forwards it to the accounting record.
If the FE Parameter is not present, this field is left empty ("").
The record is generated in one of two formats:
The Parameter Length field of the record designates whether the record is the Short Form or the Long Form.
The following tables depict each of these forms.
The Answer Type and Completion Code (manner by which the call was terminated) are 4-bit values, depicted in the following table.
Example:
The FE Parameter record below:
"0xFE0812BC0A006745DF03"
...is generated by the following FE Parameter subfield values:
Format = Long Form
Completion Code = Treated Call (1)
Answer Type = Software Answer, voice detected (2)
Final Trunk Group ID = 0xABC
Final Switch ID = 0x3DF
Final Trunk Member = 0x4567
Satellite Indicator (SAT):
This value is extracted from the Nature of Connection Indicator.
The following figure displays a high level view of the PSX Billing Information field within an accounting record. This field contains billing data generated by the PSX that is encoded in bytes represented as hexadecimal characters (00 to FF). This variable length field may contain up to 128 bytes of binary data (represented by 256 hexadecimal characters).
Every subfield in the PSX Billing Info field is provisioned on the PSX and placed into the SBC accounting record. Therefore, the results reflect particular PSX provisioning of the PSX Billing Info entity. Take this into consideration when viewing the example representations at the end of this section. Do not expect similar results in your records unless you provision each PSX Billing Info subfield in the same manner.
The PSX Billing Info field is divided into four portions:
Each portion is a series of one or more subfields.
The Billing File Info Header contains a unique 16 bit value.
The Common and Route Specific Tag portions are comprised of subfields that consist of a unique Tag, a Tag Data Length Indicator, and Data for that Tag (or value). In any of these subfields, the one byte Tag Data Length Indicator could be zero, resulting in a zero length value.
The Route Specific Data portion is comprised of subfields of Tag Data Length Indicator and Data for that Tag (or value), for each Tag, for each route. In this portion, the Tags themselves were defined in the Route Specific Tag portion and hence are not present in the subfields.
This subfield detail is depicted below:
This field contains a two byte Billing Information Variant. This subfield is provisioned on the PSX. This field is always occupied by four hexadecimal characters representing two bytes of binary data. A user provisioned Billing Information Variant of 0000 is depicted below.
The Billing information Variant Data table lists the Tags, Tag Data lengths, and Tag Data descriptions that apply to the Billing Information Variants. In this table, the Max Length is the value provisioned in the PSX Billing Info entity. The Max Length value is always less than or equal to the Max Length Limit value, which is hard coded into the entity.
As mentioned previously, every Tag/Length/Value subfield and Route Specific Length/Value must be provisioned in the Billing Info entity on the PSX in order to be present in any accounting record. Furthermore, the Billing Info Profile ID that is provisioned on PSX must be associated with the (ingress) trunk group entity, also on the PSX. See the "PSX Policy Server Provisioning Guide" for these procedures.
When the length of the data that contains integer or hex digits is an odd number, the most significant byte will have a leading "0".
When the length of the data that contains BCD digits is an odd number, the most significant byte will have a leading "F".
The SCP may return certain values more than once. If this is the case, the corresponding subfield is populated in the PSX Billing Info field once per SCP reply. Data from each reply is appended to the end of Common Portion field, so the first occurrence of a subfield corresponds with the first SCP reply, the next occurrence with the second reply, and so on. The following SCP subfields may be populated more than once in PSX Billing Info field:
Example 1
The following PSX Billing Info field is defined in the following table.
00000005000001010603E903F60389000901F1000B03F978580004022345000A01F1000D03F97869000E0100000F010000100A4D696C696E6473204269000C03F60346001304F46089800FA0040FA10FA20100010F01000109010001090100010901000109

This field is supplied by the PSX, after customer specific provisioning. If this field is not provisioned on the PSX, it is left empty ("").
For more information on the TDM Trunk Group Type, refer to TDM Trunk Group Type Enumeration Values.
This field is supplied by the PSX, after customer specific provisioning. If this field is not provisioned on the PSX, it is left empty ("").
For more information on the TDM Trunk Group Type, refer to TDM Trunk Group Type Enumeration Values.
Ingress Trunk Member Number. The ingress trunk member number that was provisioned on the GSX/ SBC circuit endpoint.
This field takes the decimal values 0-65534. If this field was not provisioned, or was subsequently UNSET for this circuit, it is left empty ("").
If the ingress trunk group is an IP trunk group, this value is always set to 1.
Egress Trunk Group ID. The egress trunk group ID on the egress GSX/SBC. The content of this field will differ from the corresponding field in the FE Parameter record whenever the final switch is not the same as the egress GSX/SBC.
This field is supplied by the PSX, taking the decimal values 0 - 4095. If this field is not provisioned on the PSX, it is left empty ("").
This field is supplied to the GSX/SBC by the PSX as a 13-character string terminated by a NULL character (""). Therefore, future PSX releases may supply Trunk Group IDs outside the above specified range.
Egress Switch ID. The egress switch ID on the egress GSX/SBC. The content of this field will differ from the corresponding field in the FE Parameter record whenever the final switch is not the same as the egress GSX/SBC.
This field is supplied by the PSX, taking the decimal values 0 - 1023. If this field is not provisioned on the PSX, it is left empty ("").
This field is supplied to the GSX/SBC by the PSX as a 9-character string terminated by a NULL character (""). Therefore, future PSX releases may supply Trunk Group IDs outside the above specified range.
ATM address of the local physical port attached to the ATM network on the ingress leg of the call.
Because this field is not currently supported, it is always empty ("").
ATM address of the remote physical port attached to the ATM network on the ingress leg of the call.
Because this field is not currently supported, it is always empty ("").
ATM address of the local physical port attached to the ATM network on the egress leg of the call.
Because this field is not currently supported, it is always empty ("").
ATM address of the remote physical port attached to the ATM network on the egress leg of the call.
Because this field is not currently supported, it is always empty ("").
The PSX call type, based on the results of the digit analyses performed by the PSX, which is then used as part of the route selection process.
The call type enumeration permits 31 predefined (Ribbon) values [0-30] and 31 user defined values [1001-1031] as shown in the following table.
The outgoing trunk group number for calls that overflow from one gateway to another via a Singapore Inter-Gateway Circuit (IGC) trunk. The GSX/SBC extracts this decimal value (0-65536) from the optional "Outgoing Route Identification (ORI)" parameter in the ISUP Address Complete Message (ACM).
If GSX/SBC is not deployed in a Singapore network, the field is left empty ("").
The type of route that was selected from a GSX/SBC deployed in a Singapore network. The GSX/SBC will extract this value from the optional "Outgoing Route Identification (ORI)" parameter in the ISUP Address Complete Message (ACM).
The following table lists these routes types.
If the ORI is not present, the GSX/ SBC will generate and populate the Outgoing Message Identification according to the Network Indicator as follows:
If GSX/SBC is not deployed in a Singapore network, the field is left empty ("").
The incoming trunk group number on a GSX/SBC deployed in a Singapore network. The GSX/SBC will extract this value from the optional "Incoming Route Identification (IRI)" parameter in the ISUP Initial Address Message (IAM).
If the IRI is not present or if GSX/SBC is not deployed in a Singapore network, then this field contains the ingress trunk ID/Number that is configured on the PSX.
The calling party's name in text.
The ANSI SS7 specification defines this field as up to 15 acharacters of name information coded in IA5 format. The GSX/SBC passes this 15-character string to the PSX in Policy Request message. The PSX returns a Calling Name in the Policy Response that is either the same or a new Calling Name. New Calling Names provided by the PSX may be up to 24 characters. Hence the maximum length of this string is 26 characters (24-character string plus delimiting double quotes "").
The following transformations may be applied to this string:
If the Calling Name is unknown, or not provided, then the field is left blank without displaying the double quotes as depicted in the last example above.
The Calling Name Type delivered in the PSX Policy Response.
If Calling Name data is not available, this field is left empty ("").
This field represents the Calling Party Numbering Plan received in the incoming setup message. For ISUP calls this value is extracted from the optional Calling Party Number parameter in the Initial Address Message (IAM). For SIP calls, this value is extracted from the FROM header.
The value logged to the CDR does not comply to the standard ISUP enumeration. This decimal value (range 0-15) must be interpreted according to the below table.
The GSX/SBC sends the "Incoming Calling Party Numbering Plan" to the PSX in the Policy Request message. As part of the routing process the PSX may manipulate the Calling Party Numbering Plan. This possibly modified value is then sent back to the GSX/SBC where it is used in outgoing signaling messages. This value is logged as the "Outgoing Calling Party Numbering Plan".
The value logged to the CDR does not comply to the standard ISUP enumeration. This decimal value (range 0-15) must be interpreted according to Table 43.
If the PSX does not manipulate this field, then the Incoming and Outgoing Calling Party Numbering Plans are identical.
START-91, STOP-110, ATTEMPT-101, INTERMEDIATE-91
This value represents the Business Group ID of the calling party. The GSX/SBC receives this value in the SIP INCOMING INVITE message.
This decimal value is in the range 0 to 4294967295. If this data is not present or unknown, then a one "1" (Public Business Group) is logged.
SIP is the only protocol which supports Business Group IDs. For all other protocols (ISUP, H323, etc.) this field is logged as "1".
This value represents the Business Group ID of the called party. The GSX/SBC receives this value in the SIP INCOMING INVITE message. This value is then sent to the PSX in the Policy Request message. As part of the routing process the PSX may modify this value and return it in the Policy Response. The GSX/SBC logs the value supplied by the PSX, not the value received in the SIP INCOMING INVITE message.
This decimal value is in the range 0 to 4294967295. If this data is not present or unknown, then a one "1" (Public Business Group) is logged.
SIP is the only protocol which supports Business Group IDs. For all other protocols (ISUP, H323, etc.) this field is logged as "1".
The Calling Party Public Presence Directory Number (PPDN) is an optional SIP parameter which is propagated as the calling number when a call goes into the Public PSTN. If the SIP INCOMING INVITE message's Remote Party ID header contains id-context=ppdn, then the Remote Party ID is interpreted and logged as the Calling PPDN.
This string is up to 30 characters.
If the id-context is not PPDN or if the ingress protocol is not SIP, then this field is empty ("").
Carriers bill each other based on Carrier Elapsed Time (as opposed to Customer Elapsed Time). Carrier Elapsed time is defined as the Carrier Connect Time to call disconnect time. Telcordia GR-508-CORE defines Carrier Connect Time as:
"The time when first wink is received from a carrier for Feature Group D (FGD) calls. For Feature Group B (FGB) calls, carrier connect time is the time when carrier off-hook is detected."
The closest the GSX/SBC can get to recording the actual carrier connect time is to capture when the IAM for the selected route was sent. The selected route is always the final route attempted. The GSX/SBC will capture and log the "Time Elapsed from Receipt of Setup Message to Last Call Routing Attempt".
This field contains that elapsed time in 10 millisecond ticks. If no routing attempts were made, then this field is left empty ("").
The incoming ISUP IAM message may contain an optional "Charge Number" parameter. This parameter contains a nature of address (NOA) indicator for the charge number. The GSX/SBC logs this value. See Incoming ISUP Charge Number NOA.
The GSX/SBC also sends this incoming value to the PSX in the Policy Request message. As part of the routing process the PSX may override this value with the Billing Number NOA provisioned for the ingress trunk group. The PSX returns this possibly modified NOA to the GSX/SBC in the Policy Response message. The GSX/SBC uses this returned value in outgoing signaling messages and logs it to this field, the "Billing Number NOA".
This field takes a decimal value in the range 1 to 255. If Billing Number NOA is unknown, then this field is left empty ("").
START-96 STOP-115 ATTEMPT-107 INTERMEDIATE-98
The incoming ISUP IAM message may contain an optional "Calling Number" parameter. This parameter contains a nature of address (NOA) indicator for the calling number. The GSX/SBC logs this NOA in this field.
The outgoing calling number NOA is determined by the PSX and is logged in the "Calling Party Nature of Address" field. See Calling Party Nature of Address.
This field takes a decimal value in the range 1 to 255. If an Incoming Calling Number NOA is not received, then this field is left empty ("").
The Trunk Member used by the egress trunk group for this call. This number uniquely identifies the channel used for this call. The Trunk Member object can be configured for ISDN, ISUP and CAS service groups.
This field takes a decimal value in the range 0 to 65535. If the Trunk Member for the ISDN, ISUP, or CAS egress trunk group is not configured, then this field is left empty ("").
If the egress trunk group is an IP trunk group, this value is always set to "1".
This field identifies the destination gateway's type, such as GSX/SBC Gateway, SIP Proxy Server, ASX Gateway, etc. See the table for a the definition of each valid type. See "Route Selected" for additional destination gateway information that is logged.
This field takes a decimal value in the range 0-8. For terminating records, this field is left empty ("").
A decimal value indicating what type of Telcordia record is being represented:
Specifies the elapsed time, in 10 millisecond ticks, from the previous record for this call to this record. The previous record is either a START record, or an INTERMEDIATE record. This record is either an INTERMEDIATE record or a STOP record.
If intermediate record mode is interval, this value is approximately 100 times the configured intermediate interval. The interval range of 5 seconds to 24 hours results in a field range of 500 - 8,640,000 milliseconds.
If intermediate record mode is Telcordia, the first Telcordia record range is from 8,640,000 milliseconds (24 hours) to 17,279,999 milliseconds (48 hours minus 10 milliseconds). The continuation Telcordia record range for STOP records is 0 milliseconds (call disconnected immediately following a long duration record generation) to 4,294,967,295 milliseconds. INTERMEDIATE Telcordia continuation records will always show 4,294,967,295 milliseconds in this field.
This decimal value reflects the overall route index used to route this call, counting all prior policy responses. This index can be combined with the Routing Label (see Route Label) to determine the chosen route.
A related field, "Route Index Used", is an index into the most recent policy response.
For example, assume the RL contains 28 routes, and the 25th route succeeds. The first policy response contains 10 routes, none of which succeed. The second policy response also contain 10 routes, again none succeed. The final policy response contains 8 routes, of which the 5th one succeeds. In this case "Route Index Used" is 5 and "Cumulative Route Index Used" is 25.
The range of this value is 1-65535. This field is empty ("") if no routes are chosen to route this call.
This value represents the disconnect reason (or cause code) sent by the local GSX/ SBC to the ingress network (that is, toward the calling party). If the ingress network is another GSX/SBC, then this field will contain the disconnect reason sent by this local GSX/SBC to that remote GSX/SBC. This disconnect reason is not necessarily the same value the remote GSX/SBC sends to its ingress network. The transmitted reason is derived from the Release Message (REL) and not from other messages, such as ACM. If the release was initiated by the calling party, this field is empty ("").
If the actual disconnect reason (received from egress or internally generated) is not defined by the ingress signaling protocol, then the reason is mapped to a reason which is defined before being sent.
This value represents the disconnect reason (or cause code) sent by the local GSX/SBC to the egress network (i.e., toward the called party). If the egress network is another GSX/SBC, then this field contains the disconnect reason sent by this local GSX/SBC to the remote GSX/SBC. This disconnect reason is not necessarily the same value the remote GSX/SBC sends to its egress network. The transmitted reason is derived from the Release Message (REL) and not from other messages, such as ACM. If the release was initiated by the called party, then this field is empty ("").
If the actual disconnect reason (received from ingress or internally generated) is not defined by the egress signaling protocol, then the reason is mapped to a reason which is defined before being sent.
This string identifies the calling party subaddress associated with a call's origin. Although ISDN document Q.931E specifies that Calling Party Subaddress may contain up to 40 characters, this field is limited to 30 characters on GSX/SBC.
The Outgoing Trunk Group Number (OTGN) is an optional parameter in the Exit Message (EXM), and is a string of up to six digits. If an EXM is received containing an OTGN, then this field is populated with that value. If an EXM is generated by the GSX/SBC, then the OTGN in the EXM is taken from the Service Group Profile and that value is also written to this field. Otherwise, this field is empty ("").
For packet based ingress trunk groups, the IPv4 or IPv6 address used for ingress signaling on the local GSX/SBC. The IPv4 address is in dotted decimal format, for example 128.1.22.233 and IPv6 address in hexadecimal/colon format, for example fd00:21:445:128::7880. (the local GSX/SBC generates this accounting record; the device at the far end of the packet network is the remote address).
If the ingress trunk group is circuit based, this field is empty ("").
For packet based ingress trunk groups, the IPv4 or IPv6 address is used for ingress signaling on the far end of the packet network. The IPv4 address is in dotted decimal format, for example 128.1.22.233 and IPv6 address in hexadecimal/colon format, for example fd00:21:445:128::7880. (the local GSX/SBC generates this accounting record; the device at the far end of the packet network is the remote address.) The device at this address may be another GSX/SBC gateway, an H.323 device, or a SIP device.
If the ingress trunk group is circuit based, this field is empty ("").
The sequence number of this record relative to other records in the file. Depending upon how the parameter is configured, this is either:
This number starts at zero and increments by one each time a new record is written. The software maintains only one sequence regardless of the record type. When the sequence number reaches its maximum configured value, either 65535 or 4294967295, it wraps to zero and begins incrementing again (for example 65534, 65535, 0, 1, 2...). The incrementing continues through file roll-overs.
A sequence number of zero occurs only on a reboot (switchover), or a natural wraparound. (A natural wraparound sequence is 65534, 65535, 0, 1, 2 and so on.)
This field is intended to help reconcile billing records after events which may result in lost accounting records.
This field is a fixed parameter in the ITU ISUP Initial Address Message (IAM).
For ISUP calls, this information is populated from the TMR parameter, if it is present. If the TMR parameter is absent, this information is populated from the USI parameter. The TMR parameter is mandatory in ITU and the USI parameter is mandatory in ANSI. Because the TMR parameter or the USI parameter is always present, this field is always populated.
For CAS ingress calls, this field is populated from the capabilities set in the circuit service profile as follows:
circuitModeData
, then T1 channels are set to CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_RESTRICTED. E1 channels are set to CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_RESTRICTED if type is restricted, or to CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_UNRESTRICTED if type is unrestricted
.voiceOnly
, then T1 and E1 channels are set to CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_SPEECH.voiceorCircuitModeData
, then T1 and E1 channels are set to CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_3_1KHZ_AUDIO.For incoming SIP calls, if the incoming INVITE has PSTN parameters, then the value of this field is taken from those PSTN headers. If an incoming SIP call is received without PSTN parameters, the default value CPC_TG_TRANSFER_CAP_3_1KHZ_AUDIO is placed into this field. For outgoing SIP calls, if Include PSTN Parameters is enabled in the PSX IP Signaling Profile, then these parameters are included in the SIP headers. Otherwise they are not included in outgoing INVITE.
The decimal value in range 0-255 must be interpreted according to the following table:
For ISUP calls, the User Service Information (USI) parameter is mandatory for ANSI, and optional for ITU. The five least significant bits of the second octet in this parameter contain the Information Transfer Rate. If the USI is present, this field is populated according to the ISUP values in the table below. If the USI is absent, then this field is always populated with the value CPC_TG_TRANSFER_RATE_64KBITS.
For CAS ingress calls, this field is always CPC_TG_TRANSFER_RATE_64KBITS.
For SIP ingress calls, if the incoming INVITE has PSTN parameters, then the value of this field is taken from those PSTN headers. If an incoming SIP call is received without PSTN parameters, the default value CPC_TG_TRANSFER_RATE_64KBITS is placed into this field. For outgoing SIP calls, if includePstnParameters is enabled in the PSX IP Signaling Profile, then these parameters are included in the SIP headers. Otherwise they are not included in outgoing INVITE.
This decimal value in the range 0-31 must be interpreted according to the table below . Note that these values do not correspond to the ISUP Q.931 definitions.
This value does not comply with Q.931
The User Service Information (USI) parameter is optional in the ISUP IAM. The five least significant bits of the third octet in this parameter contain the User Information Layer 1 (UIL1) Protocol. If the USI is not present in the IAM, or if the ingress service group is not ISUP, then this field is empty ("").
This decimal value (range 0-31) must be interpreted according to the below table.
This field contains the actual (raw) value of the calling party category if this value is not recognized by this GSX/ SBC, otherwise this field is empty ("").
If present, the decimal value of this field is in the range 0-255.
The Egress Release Link Trunking (RLT) Feature Specific Data field is populated only when SS7 Release Link Trunking occurs on the egress leg of the call, otherwise this field is empty ("").
A Facility Request Message (FAR) is sent backward from the Redirecting Node to the call-originating node (Pivot Node) to request activation of an RLT service.
Any call that is bridged or redirected creates two accounting records: one for the initial call (AR) and one for the bridged or redirected call (BR). The table below presents the CDR logging scenarios for original, bridged, and redirected calls.
If more than one RLT (redirecting or bridging) occurs on the egress leg of the call, then only the data for the last RLT is present. When bridging occurs, the redirect Sub-Fields are empty (""). Similarly, when redirect occurs, the bridging Sub-Fields are empty (""). This field is a maximum of 598 characters, including all comma separators and the double quotation mark delimiters ("").
The Release Link Trunking Sub-Fields page provide additional explanation about certain Sub-Fields.

This field captures the redirection information that happens to a call before it is processed by the GSX/SBC. This information is supplied by the originating network in the call setup message (the ISUP IAM message or the SIP INVITE message). This field does not refer to redirects performed internally by the GSX/SBC or PSX.
This field format is similar to the "Egress RLT Feature Specific Data" and the "Two B-Channel Transfer Feature Specific Data".
Field format is described in the below table.
When the ingress protocol is SIP, all diversion headers present in the incoming SIP INVITE message are used to populate Redirection Feature Specific Data. The GSX/SBC maps the SIP diversion headers into ISUP parameters. The name-addr of the top-most Diversion header is used to set the ISUP Redirecting Number. The diversion-reason of the top-most Diversion header is used to set the ISUP Redirecting Reason.
When multiple Diversion headers are present, the name-addr of the bottom-most Diversion header is used to set the ISUP Original Redirecting Number, and the diversion-reason of the bottom-most Diversion header is used to set the ISUP Original Redirecting Reason. The ISUP Redirect counter is set equal to the sum of the counters of all Diversion headers in the SIP message.
A diversion header that does not explicitly specify a diversion-counter tag counts as "1". If no redirect occurs, then the entire "Redirection Feature Specific Data" field is empty ("").
Example Redirection Feature Specific Data Field:

This field specifies the answer type detected when ANSWER SUPERVISION is enabled for the call.
The Answer Supervision mechanism ensures calls are correctly cut through and accounted for when answer signaling is absent from the call flow. When enabled, a timer starts when the egress call setup occurs, and then clears when the call is answered. If the timer expires an action is initiated to either clear the call or declare the call answered and cut through the forward voice path.
You can configure ANSWER SUPERVISION for all signaling prototypes except GSX/SBC Gateway-to-Gateway signaling
When ANSWER SUPERVISION is enabled, one of the four scenarios below establishes the answer type:
If ANSWER SUPERVISION is disabled, an answer type of empty (""), is presented in all records.

The Media Stream Stats field (231 of STOP record) is updated to log TCP/LYNC/APPSHARE when the SBC accepts a media stream with a desktop sharing media type for protocol TCP/RTP/AVP or TCP/RTP/SAVP.
Transcode Indicator is a Boolean value to indicate whether transcoded is used. A value of “1” indicates transcoding between the two call legs and "0" means no transcoding.
HD Codec Rate is a decimal value field to hold the HD codec rate per leg.
Remote RTCP statistics are populated in STOP CDR for both pass-through and transcoded calls based on the following conditions, as applicable:
This feature is supported in the following call scenarios:
The Remote Ingress Audio RTCP Learned Metrics field indicates statistics received from Ingress endpoint in SR/RR RTCP Packet. The maximum length of this field is 1024 characters, including all commas and double quotes ("").
Subfields:
An example of a Remote Ingress Audio RTCP Learned Metrics field is: "137,71200,0x452272d,0,0,0,28853,193".
The Remote Egress Audio RTCP Learned Metrics field indicates statistics received from Egress endpoint in SR/RR RTCP Packet. The maximum length of this field is 1024 characters, including all commas and double quotes ("").
Subfields:
Egress Packets Sent - Received as part of RTCP Packet from Egress. It is the total number of RTP data packets transmitted by the sender since starting transmission up until the time this SR packet was generated.
An example of a Remote Egress Audio RTCP Learned Metrics field is: "137,71200,0x452272d,0,0,0,28853,193".
SBC Call Data Record (CDRs) support storing Major Trading Area (MTA) information in CDRs. MTA is a boundary that segments a country for telecommunication licensing and consists of several Basic Trading Areas (BTAs). PSX can route the call based on MTA of calling and called parties. This record is a string, which may contain up to 49 characters. The content of this record depends upon the feature control profile and NPA NXX configuration in PSX.
If PSX determines MTA for calling and called parties, then PSX returns this information to SBC. Otherwise, the CDR field MTA Information is empty (“”).
This field is formatted as a quoted string of four comma-separated values. The values include; Origination Primary MTA, Origination Secondary MTA, Destination Primary MTA, and Destination Secondary MTA. For example, ...,"18,11,08,11"....
The following table provides the MTA stream accounting information:
SBC Call Data Record (CDRs) support storing Value Based Routing (VBR) information in CDRs.
The following fields are used to populate VBR details in SBC CDRs:
The following table provides the VBR stream accounting information:
This record is a string of 256 characters. SBC receives the VBR Billing Information in the policy response and writes it to CDR.
This field is optional and is populated when the PSX returns the VBR Route.
The PSX captures the following common or global VBR information and sends it in the policy response:
The Sell/Offer price is present, if an Offer rate sheet is configured on the selected offer. SBC includes this data in the VBR Common Billing Data.
This record is a string of 256 characters. For every route that is part of VBR routing label, the billing information is captured as per route data in the policy/trigger response by PSX and is sent to SBC. SBC treats it as opaque data and writes it to CDR. This field is optional. This is populated when the PSX returns a VBR Route.
For every route (routing label route) within a policy response, the following information is captured:
The Vendor Id represents the vendor who owns the Trunk Group. The cost is derived from active vendor rate sheet. The jurisdiction represents the jurisdiction associated with the selected rate sheet entry of the vendor. This may vary from vendor to vendor. For non VBR routes, this AVP will be empty. A maximum of 10 routes is considered for VBR Billing data purposes.
SBC includes the access-network-charging-info parameter received through PCRF over the Rx or Gx interfaces in the P-charging-vector header field in the first request or response originated by UE. When the charging information is available in SBC after the local resource reservation is complete, UE traverses the SBC. If P-CSCF receives Access Network Charging Information from PCRF server, P-CSCF sends Access Network Charging Information in the CAM records.
The format for Access Network Charging Information is "Character string, Max length 130".
Example: ggsn=10.10.0.1; auth-token=0;pdp-info=pdp-item=uniqueNum;pdp-dig=no;gcid=gcIdValue;flow-id=({0,0})
The location records for Access Transfer Specific Data are START, STOP, ATTEMPT, and INTERMEDIATE.
The following table details each of the sub-fields of Access Transfer Specific Data:
The Original Call and Target Call (Handover call) types are considered individual calls, thus separate CDRs are generated for each call type. In case of a PS-to-PS handover call, the field "Access Transfer Specific Data" of the Target call contains the following information:
All PS-to-PS Handover calls are identified by the "Transfer Type" field. The source call which gets handed over is identified from the Source access GCID. The CDR of the original call does not have any indication that it is handed over to a new Target call. Any correlation of CDR must come backward by identifying the Target call and then tracing back the Original Call.
The "Emergency Indicator" indicates the IMS session as an IMS emergency session or IMS registration. This covers both INVITE and REGISTER messages.
The format for Emergency Indicator is "Boolean of max length 1".
The "Ingress Dtls-Srtp: Dtls-Srtp status info" indicates if the DTLS negotiation in the corresponding stream is successfully completed, the value is enabled or disabled for an ingress call.
The supported values are:
The "Egress Dtls-Srtp: Dtls-Srtp status info" indicates if the DTLS negotiation in the corresponding stream is successfully completed, the value is enabled or disabled for an egress call.
The supported values are:
The format for UE Roming Staus is as follows:
Values | Meaning |
---|---|
Empty | Without roaming |
1 | Subscriber |
2 | Called |
3 | Calling |

The incoming secure telephone identity (STI) service type. In this service type, though the fields are added in the CDR, they are not populated. This is because the SBC has not received any data from the PSX and the STI service is not performed. Ingress value is 0.
The incoming secure telephone identity (STI) service status. When the STI service is performed, the result is either a success or a failure and the same is written in this CDR field. In the Ingress side no STI service is perfomed, and hence the value "none" is written in this field.
Secure Telephone Identity SIP Reason Code. SIP reason code corresponding to the STI Service. Reason code is used in case of verification failure or verificationsuccess. Because there is no STI service performed on the ingress side, this field is not populated.
A globally unique string corresponding to a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)(RFC 4122).The purpose of the unique origination identifier is to assign an opaque identifier corresponding to the service provider-initiated calls themselves, customers, classes of devices, or other groupings that a service provider might want to use for determining things such as reputation or trace back identification of customers or gateway
The outgoing secure telephone identity (STI) service type. In this service type, the CDR fields are added and populated when it receives data from the PSX. This is because STI-AS/VS perrforms the service for which the PSX contacts.
The service type is signing, verification and tagging.
The outgoing secure telephone identity (STI) service status. When the STI service is performed, the result is either a success or a failure and the same is written in this CDR field. In the egress side, STI service is perfomed, and hence either the value "success" or "failure" is written in this field. For more information, refer to SIP-I Signaling Sub-field Descriptions,
Secure Telephone Identity SIP Reason Code. SIP reason code corresponding to the STI Service. Reason code is used in case of verification failure or verification success. This field is populated since theSTI service is performed.
The SBC calculates the Call Established Time using the following fields stored in the CDR records:
You must use this field when indexing route specific fields within the PSX Billing Info Field. See "PSX Billing Information".
The Over Flow Packet Count field includes the count of overflow packets that are beyond the limit allowed by the policy control.
set system media policing spikeAction
The count is per stream for both ingress and egress leg separately that are displayed as sub-field.
The maximum length of each sub-field ingress or egress over Flow Packet Count is 20.
Depending upon number of streams, the size of “Over Flow Packets Count” may vary
The field is generated for STOP CDR (field number 284), as this information is available only after the call is terminated.
The format of the subfields is as follows:
ingress overFlowPacketsCount1
egress overFlowPacketsCount1
ingress overFlowPacketsCount2
egress overFlowPacketsCount2
ingress overFlowPacketsCount3
egress overFlowPacketsCount3
ingress overFlowPacketsCount4
egress overFlowPacketsCount4
ingress overFlowPacketsCount5
egress overFlowPacketsCount5
ingress overFlowPacketsCount6
egress overFlowPacketsCount6
By default, the SBC selects the ingress trunk group for an incoming SIP request based on its source IP address and port. Using SIP Message Manipulation (SMM) operations and SIP Param Based Action profiles, the SBC supports a feature to select a new ingress trunk group. Secondary trunk group selection enables applying trunk group policies and profiles on a more granular basis in subsequent processing of the session.
If a new ingress trunk group is chosen using this feature, the existing CDR field Ingress Trunk Group Name is populated with the new trunk group name and this field contains the original ingress trunk group that was selected based on the source IP/port and sent to the PSX for policy information prior to the change to the new ingress trunk group. If a new trunk group is not selected, both the "Ingress Trunk Group Name" field and this field contain the same value.
This field is populated if generateRtcpForT140IfNotReceived
is enabled. For call modify scenarios, this field is populated based on the monitoring outcome of the last mid-call update. the SBC is provisioned to monitor RTCP for T140 stream. If RTCP is not received within monitoring interval, then the SBC moves to generate mode. The possible values are Relay (if RTCP is relayed by the SBC) or Generate (if RTCP is generated by the SBC).
This field displays the remote RTCP Learned metrics, and shall be populated when RTCP is relayed by the SBC and when generateRtcpForT140IfNotReceived
is enabled.
