ISDN call information
If the E1 PRI line switch type is German 1TR6 or Japan NTT, you can display information
about ISDN calls by invoking the terminal-server command line and entering the Show Calls
command. For example:
ascend% show calls
The command displays statistics about current calls. For example:
Call ID
Called Party ID Calling Party ID InOctets OutOctets

The Call ID column contains an index number specific to the call.
Called Party ID and Calling Party ID show the telephone number of the answering device and
calling device, respectively.
InOctets and OutOctets show the number of bytes received by the answering device and
transmitted by the calling device, respectively.
Note:
When an ISDN call disconnects from either a German 1TR6 switch or a Japan NTT
switch, the switch sends call billing information to the call originator as part of the call
tear-down process. This information is written to the
eventCallCharge
(eventEntry 17)
SNMP object in the Ascend Enterprise MIB events group (10). An SNMP manager can then
read this object to determine the cost of the call.
eventCallCharge
is a read-only integer
and is applicable only if
eventType
is
callCleared
(3). Otherwise, 0 is returned.
