Selecting the Type of Metering
Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server supports two types of call metering:
-

V24 metering supports V24 printing for all call metering tickets.

IP metering supports IP printing for call metering tickets originating from a 3rd party
application (Business or Hotel) via an IP connection.

The type of metering must be specified when the Office Link driver is installed. The driver can
be installed in one of two modes: hotel or metering.
You can use the OMC Counting function to specify the type of call metering for hardcopy
printouts.
To set printing options for call metering tickets:
1. Open the Counting function window in the OMC console and select the Accounting
Printout tab.
2. Select the metering type from the drop down box, Ext. Accounting Activation IP, or Ext.
Accounting Activation V24 and ensure that the associated checkbox is checked.
3. When finished, click OK.
Note:
English is used for IP printing and cannot be changed.

Call Detail
The CALL DETAIL or COUNTING (METERING) module is used to collect specific information
about telephone calls. This information can be printed in various formats, depending on the
type of management selected.
This section describes the implementation and use of call metering statements or tickets that
can be printed on any printer connected to a V24 4083 ASM or 4093 ASY-CTI or V24/CTI
Interface Module option on a digital terminal.
Note 1:
For IP metering, the output information in XML format will have a different meaning.

It is also possible to display data related to a call.


Note 2:
For V24 metering, not all the call detail information supplied by the ISVPN+ protocol (attendant,
node, services: transit, overflow, ARS, etc.) appear on the tickets; data can only be used from
within a central management application (Alcatel-Lucent 4740, 4760 or other).

V24 call detail printout:


-

Call detail printout parameters: format (information bits, parity, stop bits) and speed; by
default: 8N1, 9600 bps).
