Configuring BAMS for BAF Output
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the Cisco Billing and Measurements Server (BAMS) for
Bellcore AMA (Automatic Message Accounting) Format (BAF) records. BAMS provides a mediation
interface for Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) systems. The purpose of BAMS is to provide
enhanced data collection and processing functions, which correspond to those found in a traditional
Class 4 tandem switch. BAMS does not include presentation graphics or database query functions;
rather, it is designed to produce output billing and measurement feeds for downstream systems that can
provide these functions.
Note
You enable BAF output with the NODEPARMS tag ID. For more information, see the
.
BAMS must be correctly configured with the following information:
•
Billing design information
–
Billing zones
–
Zone relationships
–
Call types
–
Calling exceptions
–
Call type and structure code mapping for output records
•
NPA-NXX LATA information
–

–
Toll-free prefix assignment
•
Trunk group information
–
SigPathID to trunk group number
–
BearChanID to trunk group member
–
Trunk group connections
•
International routing information
