LBI-38965 4 1. INTRODUCTION This manual contains installation instructions, physical and functional descrip tions, specifications, and usage information for the Enhanced Digital Access Comm unications System (EDACS) Billing Correlation Unit and the Centralized Activity Logger (BCU/CAL).
LBI-38965 5 1.1. BCU FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The main function of the BCU is to generate call d etail records (CDRs) to b e transferred to an external billing system f o r invoice gen eration.
LBI-38965 6 2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND COMPATIBILITY This section outlines the specifications, d epicts the physical architecture, and provides compatibility inform atio n for the BCU/CAL. Softw are for the BCU and the CA L are merged into on e software packag e.
LBI-38965 7 2.2. BCU/CAL ARCHITECTURE The BCU/CAL 's internal arch itecture is show n in Figure 2. The individual com ponents and their prim ary function s are outlined below. Figure 2 - BCU/CAL Architecture TVME712/M Transition Module Communications Module Hard Disk Floppy Disk From CAM Tape Drive SCSI Appl.
LBI-38965 8 The BCU/CAL is based on a VMEbus computing platform with the following components: CPU Technico TVME 147 single-board computer based on a 68030 microprocessor • Supports BCU/CAL applicat.
LBI-38965 9 2.3. COMPATIBILITY The BCU/CAL software is compatible with the following IMC and System Manager versions: • IMC Software V4.01 and later • IMC CAM Controller Board (P/N 19D903299P3) • Networks/Data VME Controller ROM V1.03 • MicroVax System Manager Software V3.
LBI-38965 10 3. SPECIFICATIONS 3.1. COMMON BCU AND CAL OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS 3.1.1. EDACS System Interface The BCU/CA L interfaces to EDACS v ia a full duplex port supporting hi gh-level data link con trol (HDLC) protocol.
LBI-38965 11 3.2.2. Billing Architecture The EDACS billing system architecture is sho w n in Figure 3 . Each IMC is connected to a BCU/CAL via a high-speed serial communications link using HDLC protocol. Figure 3 - Billing Architecture 3.2.3. BCU Operation Overview Each RF system sends all call information to the IMC via the do w nlink.
LBI-38965 12 3.2.3.1. RF Channel Usage (Air Time) The basic unit of RF channel usage for billing purposes is a channel assignment. One or more w orking RF channels is assigned in response to a request from a subscriber unit (mobile radio, data term inal, etc.
LBI-38965 13 Channel assignment and channel drop messages contain the following information: • Date and time of event to the nearest tenth of a second • Type of event (i.e., assignment or drop) • Call type (individual clear voice, group clear voice, individual digital voice, group digital voice, data, etc.
LBI-38965 14 The thre e configuration files can b e created by running BCS o n a BCU/CAL used as a master. Then, these files can be copied to the appropriate directory (1.2/cnfg) on a target BCU, and the target will assume the sam e configuration values.
LBI-38965 15 3.2.3.10. Call Processing This section contains specifications on the BCU's call processing capability. CDR Processing A record of each conversation is maintain ed by the sy stem. A conversation is a collection of calls detailed by RARs that have been correlated based u pon call participants and caller pseudo hang time.
LBI-38965 16 3.3. CAL OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS This section outlines the sp ecifications that are unique to the CAL personality. Ref er to Figure 4 for the CAL architecture.
LBI-38965 17 3.3.3. CAL Operation Overview As new RA Rs enter the system , they are dispatched to an appropriate site h andler which ref o rm ats and queues the data. When the nu mber of activity records queued exceeds a threshold valu e obtained from the Sy stem Manager at startu p, a download request is sent to the System Manager.
LBI-38965 18 4. INSTALLATION 4.1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION CAUTION Turn off the power before removing or installing VMEbus boards. Removing or reinstalling the bo ards while the po wer is on will damage the boards. This section describ es the phy sical installation o f the B C U/CAL.
LBI-38965 19 If the B CU/CAL is being connected to a netw o rk, plug a MAU (either coaxial or twisted pair) into the 15-pin female connector labeled "ETHERNET" on the TVME-712/M transition m odule on the rear of the BCU/C AL enclosure and attach the MA U to the netw ork.
LBI-38965 20 The following tab le sum marizes the co nfiguration files contained on Installation Diskette 4. These files are provided in template form , and should be m odified to suit customer- specific requiremen ts. T he files are in MS-DOS format, and may be edited with any ASCII text editor.
LBI-38965 21 Network routes are specified in the following form: type destination_ip gateway gateway_ip Table 4 - ROUTES.DAT File Parameters Parameter Meaning type Keyword for the type of route being added, either host or network . destination_ip IP address of the destination host or network, in Internet dotted-decimal notation.
LBI-38965 22 Export entries are specified in the following form: directory client_ip Table 5 - EXPORTS.DAT File Parameters Parameter Meaning directory Directory structure(s) to be exported. Must be a fully specified, valid directory on the BCU/CAL system disk (volume 1.
LBI-38965 23 Table 6 - CAL.DAT File Parameters Parameter Meaning SITE. ss .PASSWD Specifies the System Manager passw ord to be used for logins to /from this site. system_manager_passw ord m ust match the associated value prog rammed on th e System Manager for the site specified by ss .
LBI-38965 24 4.2.2. Initial Installation The followin g section discusses softw are installation on a new BCU/CAL. An ex ample of the expected term inal display during this sequence is also pro vided.
LBI-38965 25 INSTALLATION 1. Insert Installation Diskette 1 into the BCU/CAL floppy disk drive. 2. Apply unit pow er, and observe th e user console. The rem ainder of the instal lation is provided by way of example. Actual observed output may be slightly different.
LBI-38965 26 USER ACTION: Remove Installation Diskette 2. Insert Installation Diskette 3. Press the Enter key. <LOADER> Floppy disk has been mounted. Scanning floppy disk for BCU/CAL installation files... Copying BC_B.SX to 01.02/loads/BC_B.SX..

LBI-38965 31 4.2.3. Software Upgrades Softw are upgrades are similar to th e initial installation procedu re discussed above. Each time the BC U/CAL boots, it will check to determ ine w hether a floppy diskette is installed. If a diskette is present, it w ill be scanned to check w hether any BCU/CAL installation files are present.
LBI-38965 32 For each site defined in the CAL.DAT file, configure the associated port on the terminal server as follows: Server>> change port port_no access remote Server>> change port por.
LBI-38965 33 Configuration Tips If all 16 ports of a term inal server are needed for Sy stem Manag er interface, first conf igure 15 of them using a “dumb” termin al connected to port 1. Port 1 (con figuration port) m ay then be re- assigned to a remote port, accessible via a teln et connection.

LBI-38965 A-1 APPENDIX A EDACS BILLING (CDR) FORMAT.
LBI-38965 A-2 This appendix defines the EDA CS call detail record (CDR) format f o r the collection of system reso urce usage data in a multisite trunked radio system .
LBI-38965 A-3 5. RECORD LAYOUT 5.1. SINGLE-SITE CALLS The followin g diagram show s the layout of the fields in a basic CDR for a single- site call. The top row sh ows the field name and num b er, the middle row shows the subfield nam e and letter, if ap plicab le, and the b otto m row shows the byte offset within the record.
LBI-38965 A-4 5.4. CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF BYTES IN A CDR Note that th e final linefeed character w hich termin ates the record is not shown in these diagrams. The actual n umber of bytes in a CDR is calculated by adding 2 to the offset of the final byte.
LBI-38965 A-5 6. CALL TYPE DEFINITIONS Table A.2 contains the ty pical values of the call ty pe (CDR field 6). Note that many call types are invalid, and most call types are valid only in conjunction with particular record types (CDR field 1).

LBI-38965 A-7 Call Type Bit Fields The call ty pe values h ave been selected so that individu al attributes of the call type m ay be associated w ith single- or double-bit fields w ithin the call ty pe byte. (The call type byte is the 8-bit value represented by the ASCII encoded, 2-digit hexadecimal number in the CDR call type field.
LBI-38965 A-8 7. CDR FILE TOPICS CDR files are located in the 1.2/cdr directory. All closed CDR files are named t dddhhmm. CDR, where ddd = Day of the year the record was created (001 to 366). hh = Hour of the day the record was created (00 to 23). mm = Minute of the hour the record was created (00 to 59).
