GGSN Charging Info Extension

Use this dialog to view GGSN charging information details.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the device and then select Configure, or double-click the device.

  2. Select GGSN Charging Info Extension from the category list.

The following information appears:

 Latest Charging Gateway Id (cgprsCgAlarmHistLatestIndex)

 Max SGSN changes to trigger G-CDR (cgprsCgCdrSgsnChangeLimit)

 Release (cgprsCgRelease)

 GTP Short Header (cgprsCgGtpShortHeaderEnable)

 Data Record Transfer Format (cgprsCgTransFormNumRespEnable)

 Charging Container Time-trigger (cgprsCgContainerTimeLimit)


Latest Charging Gateway Id (cgprsCgAlarmHistLatestIndex)

The value of cgprsCgAlarmHistIndex for the most recently created entry in cgprsCgAlarmHistTable.


Max SGSN changes to trigger G-CDR (cgprsCgCdrSgsnChangeLimit)

Maximum number of SGSN changes that trigger the closure of G-CDR or partial record. When the maximum number 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. If this value is set to '-1', then the number of SGSN changes is not associated with the closure of G-CDR or creation and closure of a partial record.


Release (cgprsCgRelease)

Release specific parameters that need to be used when communicating with the CG. For example, Qos profile information, charging characteristics field, etc.


GTP Short Header (cgprsCgGtpShortHeaderEnable)

Enables GGSN to use the 6-byte GTP short header for charging transactions. Toggle is not possible when there are pending CDR's.


Data Record Transfer Format (cgprsCgTransFormNumRespEnable)

Toggle is not possible when there are active MS sessions on GGSN.


Charging Container Time-trigger (cgprsCgContainerTimeLimit)

A G-CDR is used to collect charging information related to the packet data information for a GPRS mobile in the GGSN.The List of Traffic Data Volumes attribute of the G-CDR consists of a set of containers, that can be closed on certain trigers conditions like,

- Data volume limit

- Time duration limit

- Maximum number of change condition limit

This object when set to some non-zero time value, enables the G-CDR updation when the time limit is reached.
