Mitel NuPoint Messenger Technical Documentation - Release 7.0

 

This chapter describes the billing function and gives the requirements for configuring the billing 
function. Billing reports are summarized in this chapter, but the Reports chapter has more 
complete information about them. Information covered in this chapter includes: 

• Setting 

rates 

• 

Gathering billing data 

• Billing 

reports 

• Configuration 

requirements 

The billing function collects statistics about NuPoint Messenger server usage and calculates 
charges for that usage. You can set a low-usage rate, and a high-usage rate for each statistic. 
This rate-setting arrangement gives you the option to charge fixed rates, give volume discounts, 
or charge for heavy use. During day-to-day server operation, over 120 different statistics can be 
kept for each mailbox, grouped into these six categories: 

• Mailbox 

access 

• Base 

rates 

• Connect 

time 

• Disk 

usage 

• Messages 

received 

• Network 

rates 

• Pager 

calls 

You can instruct the server to perform a gather of these statistics, then obtain billing reports 
generated by the server from the resulting information. 

Billing an outdial to a specified account and specifying a long distance carrier for outdials are 
covered in the Mailboxes chapter. 

Use the following procedures to configure the billing function. These procedures are located in 
Volume 2 of this manual.
