The BillMax CDR Rate deck is a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file used to determine what calls are Plan calls and to rate Long Distance calls. The header line "Description,Destination,Rate,Minimum Duration,Increment,Connect Fee" is required.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | Descriptive value of destination string. |
| Destination | A string representing the destination of the call. For numbers part of the North
American Number Plan Administration (NANPA), all strings should begin with "1".
Examples are:
The longest string matched will be used. |
| Rate | Rate per minute. Specified in fractional minimum monetary units. Cents for USA. Support for up to 10 decimal places. |
| Minimum Duration | For every answered call, at least this duration in seconds will be used for billing purposes. As an example, if the Minimum Duration is 30 and a call is only 10 seconds long, a thirty second call will be billed. A value of zero will cause the use of the Long Distance Minimum Duration parameter. |
