The GGSN Charging Information category of the Chassis Configuration dialog box gives the general charging information.
Note This dialog can be viewed if cGtpGSNService is set to 'ggsn'.
Right-click the device and then select Configure, or double-click the device.
Select GGSN Charging Information from the Category list.
The following information appears:

Used to enable or disable the charging transaction feature on the GGSN. When the object is set to true, charging process is enabled on the GGSN.
Used to enable or disable the feature that uses the local record sequence number field in G-CDRs on the GGSN. The G-CDRs contain the local record sequence number in the CDR when the object is set to true.
Used to enable or disable the feature of using the Node ID field in G-CDRs on the GGSN. The G-CDRs include the Node ID field, when the object is set to true.
Closes all existing CDRs, transfers them to the CG and opens new partial CDRs for any existing PDP context.
Value |
Description |
close-cdr |
closes all existing CDRs |
can-close-cdr |
CDRs can be closed. This trigger can be set to 'close-cdr' only when it is in 'can-close-cdr' state. |
cannot-close-cdr |
CDRs cannot be closed. |
closing-cdr |
CDRs are closing. |
Maximum number of SGSN changes that trigger closure of G-CDR or partial record. When the maximum value is reached, the record is closed and a new partial record is opened. When the value is zero, then for every SGSN change, the G-CDR or partial record is closed.
Used to enable or disable flow control between the GGSN and CG. When the object is set to true, the GGSN enables the element for private extension information in the echo request. This is used for maintaining flow control on packets transmitted to the CG.
Used to enable or disable collection of G-CDR packet statistics. When the object is set to true, the G-CDR is enabled to collect the packet statistics from cgprsGtpChargingPktsUplink and cgprsGtpChargingPktsDownlink objects.
Controls the generation of nonprimary partial CDRs on the GGSN. The control is as follows:
Value |
Description |
true (1) |
Enables generation of non-primary partial CDRs |
false (2) |
Disables generation of non-primary CDRs. All partial CDRs have the same content as primary partial CDRs. |
Indicates GGSN needs to generate CDRs for roamers. When roamers charge is false, GGSN generates CDRs for non-roamers. This option affects new PDP contexts. The ones that have already been created are not affected.
Maximum number of G-CDRs that can be aggregated in a message that transfers charging data to a CG.
Time interval, in seconds, between two transfers of GPRS charging data for a PDP context (user session). The charging data is sent by the GGSN to the charging gateway.
Upper limit on the number of entries that the cgprsCgTariffTimeTable can contain.
Value to be used for cgprsCgTariffTimeIndex when creating entries in the cgprsCgTariffTimeTable. A value of 0 means that no new rows can be created. Otherwise, it is recommended that values be assigned contiguously, starting from 1.
Controls the generation of cgprsCgAlarmNotif as follows:
Value |
Description |
true (1) |
Enables generation of cgprsCgAlarmNotif notifications |
false (2) |
Disables generation of cgprsCgAlarmNotif notifications |
Upper limit on the number of entries that cgprsCgAlarmHistTable can contain.
