Document Objective

This guide provides reference information for the Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) software Release 9. You should read the system-level documentation supplied with your system before using this guide. A complete list of these documents is included in the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide that ships with your system.

Note This guide uses the term Media Gateway Controller software or MGC application to mean the

Cisco MGC software that runs in the UNIX environment on a server. The term MGC refers to the combination of this software and the server. The MGC communicates with the SS7 network to process and route calls between a traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) network and a packet data network. This routing takes place through a variety of media gateways (MGWs), which are separate devices that perform the conversion between the TDM and data network formats.

Audience

This guide is for network operators and administrators who have experience with telecommunications networks, protocols, and equipment and who have familiarity with data communications networks, protocols, and equipment.

Table 3 Data Type Conventions

Data Type Definition Example

Integer A series of decimal digits from the set of 0 through 9 that

represents a positive integer. An integer can have one or more leading zero digits (0) added to the left side to align the columns. Leading zeros are always valid as long as the number of digits is less than or equal to ten. Values of this type have a range of 0 through 4294967295.

Signed integer

This data type has the same basic format as the integer but can be either positive or negative. When negative, it is preceded by the sign character (–). As with the integer data type, this data type can be as many as ten digits in length, not including the sign character. The value of this type has a range of –2147483647 through 2147483647.

Hexadecimal A series of 16-based digits from the set of 0 through 9, a

through f, or A through F. The hexadecimal number can have one or more leading zeros (0) added to the left side. For all hexadecimal values, the maximum size is 0xffffffff (eight hexadecimal digits).

Text A series of alphanumeric characters from the ASCII

character set, where defined. Tab, space, and double

quote (“ ”) characters cannot be used. Text can be as many

as 255 characters; however, it is recommended that you limit the text to no more than 32 characters for readability.

String A series of alphanumeric characters and white-space

characters. A string is surrounded by double quotes (“ ”).

Strings can be as many as 255 characters; however, it is recommended that you limit the strings to no more than 80 characters for readability.

OL-1089-11

Billing Interfaces

This chapter describes the Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) billing interface capabilities and its call detail records (CDRs). This chapter is primarily a reference that contains the following sections:

• Billing Capabilities Overview, page 1-1

• Cisco MGC Billing Interfaces, page 1-19

Billing Capabilities Overview

The generic interface to the CDR dumper interface carries all the billing information in the form of call detail blocks (CDBs). When the CDR dumper receives the CDB, it writes the record in the CDR file.

CDB generation is based on a point in call (PIC). The MGC predefines several PICs that can trigger the generation of CDBs. Examples of PICs include Answered, Long Duration, and Released. For example, the MGC triggers the generation of the Answered CDB when an Answer message (ANM for SS7) is received.

Each CDB has a type associated with it that distinguishes the PIC.

CDB required events that are triggered are passed to the CDR manager module. When an event is received, the action the CDR manager module takes is determined by its configuration. The CDR manager module either handles or ignores the event.

CHAPTER

System Interfaces

System interfaces vary according to the configuration. The configuration can be either dual MGC (hot-standby) or standalone. The physical interface is described in the following section.

Physical Interface

The physical interface between the MGC and the mediation software (for example, Billing and Measurements Server (BAMS)) relies on guaranteed delivery of the CDB information between both MGCs. The interface consists of dual Ethernet links. Each link is physically isolated for redundancy.

Billing Capabilities Overview

RADIUS Interface

Message Interface

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

The RADIUS Enhancement for Accounting feature provides RADIUS interface support on the PGW 2200 for CDR data. For more information about the feature, including new CDRs, refer to the RADIUS

Enhancement for Accounting feature guide.

The CDB message interface is a one-way interface to the CDR dumper. The following paragraphs describe the CDR message format for messages sent to the CDR dumper. The CDR dumper saves the CDB message into the CDR files without any conversion or data manipulation.

CDBs are written to disk in a binary, tag-length-value (TLV) format. Many mediation systems depend on input data that is preformatted in an ASCII format. An optional BAMS converts the MGC CDR billing output files to ASCII.

The accuracy selection for timepoints is configurable on the MGC as seconds or milliseconds. In order for the ASCII representation of timepoints to be properly displayed, a place holder for each type has been provided in the ASCII output layout. For each timepoint type, two entries are contained in the output format, one entry for seconds granularity and another entry for milliseconds granularity.

A downstream mediation or billing system (for example, BAMS) can easily parse these ASCII records. Each record is prefixed in the ASCII file with a record identifier field, for example a 1110 record would begin as follows: 1110,1234,5678,2222,...

The ASCII files are named with the same prefix name specified (refer to page 1-20 for a prefix example), and postfixed with “.csv” rather than “.bin”. Each file resides in the /opt/CiscoMGC/var/bam directory.

Note It is the system operator's responsibility to manage files created by the MGC billing process, including

archiving and deleting files from the system.

CDB Message Format

The format of CDB messages being sent to the CDR dumper is based on tag, length, and value (TLV). Each field within the CDB message has a tag, length, and value.

Figure 1-1 shows how the CDB record itself is also in TLV format with the value part composed of

multiple sub-TLVs. For performance reasons the first few fields(tags) of the value portion of the CDB exists in a fixed order for every message. These fields are the Unique Call ID (tag 5000), CDB Version (tag 4000), and CDB Timepoint (tag 4001).

Note These three fields are fixed so that the CDR dumper can have direct access to these fields without having

to parse or search through all the CDB message TLV fields.

As shown in Figure 1-1, the first tag in the CDB record identifies the CDB message type. The length indicates the length of the entire message, excluding 4 bytes (2 bytes for the message tag and 2 bytes for the length).

Sub-TLV messages

The CDB message has both mandatory fields and optional fields. The following fields are mandatory in each CDB message.

• Unique Call ID

• Ve rs i on

• CDB Timestamp

All other fields in the CDB message are considered optional. The optional fields do not appear in any sort of predefined order. The TLV format allows the application to be insensitive to the order of the message data. For example, in a 1010 Answer CDB message, the Call Reference ID tag (4002) could appear as the first optional field, whereas in another CDB message, such as 1040 Release, the Call Reference ID tag could appear as the last optional field.

Note The mandatory fields exist in each CDB message, with their associated values and locations. The

optional fields can have no value. Optional fields with no value are not included in the CDB message, to improve performance.

Tag Values

As shown in Figure 1-2, the tags are divided into categories. The first tag category is assigned to the CDB message ID(s), the second category is assigned to CDB format fields, and the third category is assigned to miscellaneous usage.

Each category is divided into two or more sections. One section is the MGC range, and another section is the customer-defined range. Customer-defined ranges (for each category) can be used to further process the CDB records as required by the customer.

For example, in Figure 1-2, a Cisco MGC message ID range defined by a customer (1900 through 1999) can be used for generating customer-specific CDB auditing records. The auditing records can be for beginning and ending the CDR file. The field tag range can also use the customer-defined range for the field category (5900 through 5999) to define new fields in the CDB auditing records.

The CDB field value is encoded as specified BE, International Alphabet No. 5 (IA5), ANSI T1.113, or ITU Q.763).

This section describes different types of CDBs and their relation to PIC events. Creation of the CDB is based on certain PIC events (refer to Tab le 1 - 1 ), and other call events.

Cisco MGC Billing Interfaces

There are two billing interfaces provided by the Cisco MGC. They are:

Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Billing Interface Guide

OL-1089-11

1-19

Redundant Cisco MGC Configuration

• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) interface

• Generic interface

FTP Interface

The FTP interface allows the user to FTP the CDR files from the spool directory. This interface supports users who own a mediation system or data collocation system. Users can process the CDR files on a separate system.

The Cisco MGC runs on Solaris UNIX that provides the standard file transfer capability (FTP). The Cisco MGC can be configured so other systems can download the CDR files from the spool directory. The FTP download can be restricted by establishing user privileges.

The data collector and mediation systems can use this interface by periodically downloading the files. The CDR files provide a sequence number and the timestamp of the file creation. The data collection system or the mediation system can use this information to determine the desired file to download.

The Cisco MGC has several configuration parameters to write the CDR file. The following are the configuration parameters:

• The prefix in the file name (CDR_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo) where SeqNo is in the format

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

(000001 to 999999)

• Spool directory

• Frequent creation of the file

The sequence number provides an audit capability to the data collection system or mediation software. The sequence number is unique and ranges from 1 to 999999. If the system fails or restarts, it uses the next sequence number (last sequence number + 1). When the sequence number reaches 999999, it then restarts at 1.

Generic Interface

The Cisco MGC defines a generic or flexible billing interface. This is an internal interface between the call processing module and the CDR dumper in Cisco MGC. Users cannot modify this interface.

This interface provides a CDB data stream for the CDR dumper. The generic interface is based on the flexible CDB record layout. The record layout uses a tag, length, and value (TLV) encoding mechanism. The detail messages (that is, CDBs) are explained later in this document.

Redundant Cisco MGC Configuration

In a redundant Cisco MGC configuration, the active Cisco MGC creates checkpoint records to synchronize it with the standby Cisco MGC. The standby Cisco MGC creates call objects with appropriate states to allow continued call processing after switchover occurs. When the standby Cisco MGC becomes active, it starts synchronizing with End Offices (circuit audit). Another aspect of the architecture is that the Cisco 2600s buffer messages while failover occurs.

Billing under a redundant configuration is basically limited to the following: The active Cisco MGC generates the CDBs and the standby Cisco MGC does not. When failover occurs, the now active Cisco MGC generates the CDBs.

1-20

Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 9 Billing Interface Guide

OL-1089-11

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

If a call was stable during the failover, then the newly active Cisco MGC eventually generates an end of a call CDB (Release CDB or possibly an Interrupted CDB) for each call. The CDBs generated by the previous standby MGC include the same unique Call IDs. The mediation software requires correlating the CDB records from both systems. For both systems to be properly correlated, both Cisco MGC clocks must be synchronized with each other.

Cisco MGC Clock Synchronization

The Cisco MGC uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize its time to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. For example, the NTP provides client accuracy that is typically within 1 millisecond on LANs and up to a few tenths of a second on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver. To achieve high accuracy and reliability, typical NTP configurations use multiple redundant servers and diverse network paths. Some configurations include cryptographic authentication to prevent accidents or malicious protocol attacks.

Note RFC-1305 provides information on the NTP architecture, protocol, and algorithm.

Cisco MGC Clock Synchronization

Detailed CDB Description

This section contains the distinct record layouts for the CDB. Since each type of CDB is for a different part of a call, the Cisco MGC provides the related CDEs that are needed.

Note The CDE includes only fields that have values. The layout varies based on the Cisco MGC configuration.

For example, if the Cisco MGC is configured with a protocol that does not support a specific CDE, then the CDB record does not include that particular CDE.

Answered CDB Record (Tag: 1010/Release 5 or Later)

Table 1-6 lists data about the answered message. This CDB is generated when a call went through and

was answered (when the Cisco MGC receives ANM/Answered message).

On-Going (Call) CDB Record (Tag: 1060/Release 5 or Later)

The On-going Call CDB (or Long-Call CDB) indicates that a call is still active after the expiration of the time span defined in the XECfgParm.dat parameter *.LongCallTime. This CDB is generated again each time the period defined in *.LongCallTime elapses while the call is active. For example, if *.LongCallTime is set to its default value, 21600000 ms, which is equal to 6 hours, a 1060 CDB is generated every 6 hours until the call is terminated.

Note When the MGC is configured to create only the 1110 CDB (End-of-Call Summary) and this CDB, all of

the relevant 1060 tags are present and populated. This is because the 1060 CDB may be the first CDB that is written for a call, if it has been active for the long-call period. In this case, the 1060 CDB contains the full set of populated tags. However, when the MGC is configured to generate event-based CDBs (such as 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060, 1070, and 1080) the 1060 CDB can contain only a subset of tags: 5000, 4000–4002, 4213, and 4214. This occurs because the other event-based CDBs contain the tag information, as they are associated with specific events. Therefore, in this instance the 1060 CDB does not contain this redunant data, as it would be outside the primary purpose of this CDB.

SS7 CIC Audit CDB Record (Tag: 1071/Release 9 or Later)

Table 1-13 lists data about the SS7 CIC audit record CDB type. This CDB is used to record changes to:

• the number of circuits defined for a trunk group when the MGC is configured in Call Control mode

• the number of circuits defined in a signaling service when the MGC is configured in Signaling mode.

This CDB is modeled after the 1070 CDB but does not contain independent CIC statuses, just total counts of CICs defined and unavailable. It is triggered by provisioning changes to the number of circuits in a trunk group (Call Control) or signaling service (Signaling).

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

Once configured in XECfgParm.dat, CDB 1071 is generated for the following conditions.

• When the MML command sta-aud-cic is used to generate the current CIC availability information

on each configured ISUP trunk group or signaling service.

• A provisioning change (add or delete) is made in the number of circuits.

• A CIC service state or block state change occurs. A circuit that is unavailable is either blocked, OOS,

or both. A circuit that is blocked and also OOS is not double counted as unavailable circuits. The following tables show the action taken when there is a service state or block state change.

A blocked state is one or a combination of the following states:

• Manual local block

• Manual remote block

• Auto remote block (hardware failure)

• Auto local block

CDB Tag 1071 generation rules:

• If CDB Tag 1071 is generated as the result of the sta-aud-cic MML command, it includes the CIC

• CDB Tag 1071 is generated only on the active side.

• To generate the CDB Tag 1071 on a trunk group or signaling service level rather than individual CIC

• The sta-aud-cic MML command is rejected for the following conditions:

• A circuit that has COT failure and has COT retest in progress is not counted as unavailable.

Detailed CDB Description

unavailability information per trunk group for switched configuration, or per signaling service for nailed up. For other two scenarios, it only generates the information for the trunk groups that are impacted.

level to minimize CPS impact, an internal 10-second timer is used. 1071 CDB is generated 10 seconds after the initial CIC state change and/or the initial CIC provision change. This delay prevents the flooding of 1071 CDBs if a large number of CICs have blocks or service state changes almost simultaneously.

The MML command is attempted to be run on the standby side

CDB Tag 1071 is not configured in the XECfgParm.dat file

• If the CDB Tag 1071 is configured to be generated for Cisco MGC software Release 9.5(2), that pre

Forward Call Indicators Received (Tag: 2009/ANSI)

Table 1-32 Forward Call Indicators Received Description Form

Name: Forward Call Indicators Received Ta g: 2009 Source: MDL

Description/Purpose: This is for the received Forward Call Indicator parameter in ISUP message. It includes the following fields: International Call Ind.; End To End Method Ind.; Interworking Ind.; IAM Segmentation Ind.; ISDN User Part Ind.; ISDN User Part Preference Ind.; ISDN Access Ind.; and SCCP Method Ind.

Format: ANSI T1.113 Length in Octets: 2

Data Value:

National/International call indicator Bit A—For POTS calling, Bit A should be coded as a 0, signifying that this is an incoming national call. A coding of 1 signifies that the call is an incoming international call.

End-to-end method indicator Bits CB:

00 No end-to-end method available. 01 Pass along method available. 10 SCCP method available. 11 Both Pass along and SCCP methods available.

Interworking indicator Bit D—This field indicates to the Cisco MGC if any interworking has been encountered in the type of signaling for this call. No pertinent information needs to be acted upon by the Cisco MGC; it should pass the information to the destination. “0” means no interworking was encountered (SS7 all the way). “1” means interworking was encountered.

IAM Segmentation indicator Bit E—In POTS calling, this segmentation indicator is marked with a 0.

ISDN User Part indicator Bit F, HG, I: This is a more granular field for use by the ISUP. In the United States, the ISUP is used exclusively. For POTS national numbers, this field is marked 1 for ISUP used all the way. That is, if the Interworking indicator is set at 0 there was no interworking. If the incoming call has a 0 in this field, there was interworking or the incoming international call could have used TUP for signaling before reaching the national network. The Cisco MGC should not have to deal with this bit; it should pass it on to the destination. For more details, please refer to the ANSI T1.113 specification.

Name: Forward Call Indicators Sent Ta g: 2010 Source: MDL

Description/Purpose: This is for the sent Forward Call Indicator parameter in ISUP message. It includes the following fields: International Call Ind.; End To End Method Ind.; Interworking Ind.; IAM Segmentation Ind.; ISDN User Part Ind.; ISDN User Part Preference Ind.; ISDN Access Ind.; and SCCP Method Ind.

Format: ANSI T1.113 Length in Octets: 2

Data Value: National/International call indicator Bit A—For POTS calling, Bit A should be coded as a 0, signifying

that this is an incoming national call. A coding of 1 signifies that the call is an incoming international call.

End-to-end method indicator Bits CB

00 No end to end method available. 01 Pass along method available. 10 SCCP method available. 11Both Pass along and SCCP methods available.

Interworking indicator Bit D—This field indicates to the Cisco MGC if any interworking has been encountered in the type of signaling for this call. No pertinent information needs to be acted upon by the Cisco MGC; it should just pass the information to the destination. “0” means no interworking encountered (SS7 all the way). “1” means interworking was encountered.

IAM Segmentation indicator Bit E—In POTS calling, this segmentation indicator is marked with a 0.

ISDN User Part indicator Bit F, HG, I—This is a more granular field for use by the ISUP. In the United States, the ISUP is used exclusively. For POTS national numbers, this field is marked 1 for ISUP used all the way. That is, if the Interworking indicator is set at 0, there was no interworking. If the incoming call has a 0 in this field, there was interworking or the incoming international call could have used TUP for signaling before reaching the national network. The Cisco MGC should not have to deal with this bit; it passes it on to the destination. For more details, please refer to the ANSI T1.113 specification.

Nature of Connection Indicators Received (Tag: 2011/ANSI)

Table 1-34 Nature of Connection Indicators Received Description Form

Chapter 1 Billing Interfaces

Name: Nature of Connection Indicators

Tag : 2011 Source: MDL

Received

Description/Purpose: Used to record the Nature of Connection received from the IAM. Three possible indicators can be received: the satellite indicator, the continuity check indicator, and the echo suppressor indicator.

Format: ANSI T1.113 Length in Octets: 1

Data Value:

Assume bit order HGFEDCBA

Satellite Indicator (Bits BA)—This field provides the Cisco MGC with information on how many satellites have been used on this circuit. If the field is set to 00 and the Cisco MGC sends the circuit out on a circuit going over a satellite, the field is incremented by one. The same goes for the other incoming settings (for example, 01 goes to 10 and 10 goes to 11). If the outgoing circuit doesn't go over a satellite, the field is not incremented.

Continuity check indicator (Bits DC)—The Cisco MGC acts upon this field based on what is received. Also depending on mutual agreements with the LECs, each outgoing trunk group sends Continuity tones to the terminating LECs with a frequency between 0% to 100% of the time. This is configurable on a per trunk group basis. In addition, the Cisco MGC interprets the incoming continuity field and passes the appropriate action to the Coding Unit.

Echo suppressor indicator (Bit E)—If this field is filled, the outgoing half echo control is already set on previous circuits, there is no need for the terminating Cisco MGC to engage the EC. for this call. If the Cisco MGC activates the echo canceller, this field needs to be set for the outgoing IAM message to subsequent switches.
