The Record Layouts section describes the AEBS records’ technical structure. Your technical staff may refer to this section when programming applications to your specifications to process the AEBS billing information.

? Section 5 Glossaries and Forms

The Glossaries and Forms section contains a field glossary, an acronym and abbreviation glossary, the customer information form, and a customer feedback form.


1.2

1.1 Customer Applications

Businesses have special billing requirements. Receiving billing data in a non-paper format may be helpful if your company:

?? Receives multiple bills ?? Consolidates branch, state, or regional bills ?? Allocates telecommunications costs between departments

AEBS is designed to derive more information from the monthly bill than a net amount due. It provides the billing information in a format that may be used in making business decisions.

Unprocessed Paper Bill Electronic Billing Data Ready For AnalysisIn Addition To the Regular Paper Bill

Without AEBS With AEBS

Receiving billing information in an electronic format provides the ability to:

Reduce Costs

?? Eliminate costly, labor intensive conversion processing between the paper bill and other formats.

?? Mechanize analysis of communications billing.

?? Manage usage and determine telecommunications needs.


1.3

1.1 Customer Applications, Continued Enhanced Processing

?? Receive bills for multiple accounts at one time and in a uniform electronic format.

?? Re-sort billing data for usage analysis without losing critical information.

?? Audit the accuracy of bills for payment, resolving and reconciling billing issues rapidly and efficiently.

?? Designate charges to various internal work groups or departments.

?? Summarize and/or consolidate billing details for multiple accounts and/or multi-state locations.


1.4

1.2 Functionality

AEBS provides billing information on a medium other than paper. This alternative is in addition to the paper bill, which is still received. With AEBS, billing data may be loaded directly onto a customer’s computer for sorting and analyzing the information to local specifications. Having the bill in a non-paper format enables the information to be easily utilized in making business decisions. For instance, once loaded onto a local computer, the AEBS data file may be used to:

?? Generate usage reports ?? Allocate costs between departments ?? Combine communications bills with different billing cycles into one monthly file ?? Summarize or combine billing information from multi-state locations

A. AEBS Data

AEBS provides the same information that is on the paper bill. This is AEBS Basic and may include:

?? Current Charges Detail ?? Payment & Adjustment Detail ?? Other Charges and Credits (OC&C) ?? Toll and OC&C page/item number for resolving billing problems ?? Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) ?? Inter and Intralata toll charges

Depending on your business needs, the AEBS file may include different types of billing information. The following optional information may be selected in addition to the basic billing data. FX/TL/CDAR Foreign Exchange / Tie Line / Customer Dialed Account Recording

provides specific call details for these services, which may be used to analyze the services’ monthly use.

Note: FX and TL records are not available in all areas and certain

switches do not allow simultaneous recording of FX and TL call details.


1.5

1.2 Functionality, Continued

Local Usage Local usage contains individual call detail for local usage charges that are summarized on the paper bill, including directory assistance calls. For certain options, it is possible to receive only the Directory Assistance details, without receiving Local Call details. The Local Usage option includes Local Calling Plus data.

Local Calling Plus Local Calling Plus contains individual call detail for Local Calling Plus

charges. When Local Calling Plus is selected, the Local Usage option does not apply.

CSR The Customer Service Record provides billing details of the account’s

services that are not detailed on the paper bill, such as Uniform Service Order Codes (USOC) and Field Identifier (FID) Codes.

The optional data provides the flexibility for enhanced reporting capabilities and improved telephone usage analysis. The options may be received individually or in any combination.

B. Delivery Media

AEBS is available on tape cartridge, tape reel, CD-ROM, or electronically through the Ameritech Gateway.


1.6

1.2 Functionality, Continued C. Limitations

Lead Time A two to six week lead time is required to establish AEBS

service.

Multiple Addresses Tapes and CD ROMs are usually mailed to one billing address. Duplicate information may be sent to more than one location for an additional charge

Number of Tapes/CD ROMs One transmission or set of tapes/CD ROMs is provided for each bill date.

Receiving Tapes/CD-ROMs Tapes and CD ROMs are shipped within 10 business days after the bill date. When the Ameritech Gateway is used, the file is available within 10 business days after the bill date.

Lost Data

Ameritech’s liability for data lost in the mail, or for unreadable information, is limited to the recreation of the data upon notification by the customer. Data may be recreated up to 45 calendar days after the bill date.

Usage Usage is aggregated prior to pricing. As a result of the billing process, usage amounts and billed amounts may differ due to product specifications, call plans, and rounding.

2.1

2 Processing

AEBS billing data is produced by Ameritech and transmitted to customers in the electronic format of their choice. The data may then be analyzed by the customer’s information systems to its specifications, to meet its business needs.

AEBS Processing

Ameritech Produces the Data File You Analyze AEBS Data With Your Applications

Ameritech TransmitsAEBS File To You

You Generate Reports To Meet Your Business Needs

The steps involved in working with AEBS include:

?? File Production ?? File Transmission ?? Customer Application Development and Report Processing

A. File Production

AEBS files are generated on magnetic or electronic media at the end of the billing cycle. Customers with multiple accounts in multiple billing cycles receive one file for each billing cycle. These files may be combined at the customer’s site so that costs and usage may be analyzed across multiple divisions or locations.


2.2

2 Processing, Continued

B. File Transmission

The AEBS file is provided to the customer via magnetic or electronic media, at the customer’s choice. When magnetic media is chosen, the tape reel or cartridge is sent to the customer within 10 business days of the billing cycle’s completion. When electronic media is chosen, the file is sent to the Ameritech Gateway within 10 business days of the billing cycle’s completion. After the file is sent to the Gateway, the customer may sign onto the Ameritech Gateway to retrieve the file.

C. Customer Application Development and Report Processing

The customer programs applications to analyze, process, and report the billing data. To aid in this task, this Guide contains AEBS file layouts, attributes, and the availability of fields and records. See Section 4.0, Record Layouts, for the records’ names, purposes, fields, lengths, and attributes. For more detailed Field descriptions, see Section 5.0, Field Glossary.


2.3

2.1 Record Levels

A record level identifies the AEBS file’s record type. The record level types are: 0 = Header Record 5 = Account Record 9 = Trailer Record One of these values may be in the record to identify its level. The Header Record is the file Header Record. It is the file’s first record. The Trailer Record is the file Trailer record. It is the file’s last record. The Trailer Record contains a count of the file’s records. It may be used to ensure that all records were received. Account Records contain billing and related data information. The file always has one account record. A primary record is an entry on the paper bill, e.g., recurring charges. Each payment and adjustment is also one record. Six sub-record types accompany the primary records. There may be multiple sub-records behind a primary record. Not all records have sub-records. For more information, see Section 4.0, Record Layouts. All records are 450 characters (bytes) in length. Each has a beginning segment (CAP) that is 150 bytes long. The remaining 300 bytes is the data record information.

2.13

2.4.3 Electronic Transmission

The Gateway is an electronic bridge between companies, networks, and third party providers. It is a fully functional storage and forwarding mailbox with interconnections to major telecommunications networks. The Ameritech Gateway provides a mailbox for receiving AEBS billing data.

Electronic Gateway

Customers may receive AEBS data through the Ameritech Gateway Network by establishing non-interactive sessions.

1) Hardware & Software Requirements

Using the Ameritech Gateway requires an IBM compatible PC (or other communication device) and communication software that enables access to the Gateway.


2.14

2.4.3 Electronic Transmission, Continued 2) Communications Protocols

The Ameritech Gateway may be accessed asynchronous (ASYNC) or bisynchronous (BISYNC) via dial-up sessions using standard two-wire PSTN communications.

a) Asynchronous

Asynchronous protocols support speeds up to 19.2 using 8 data bits, no parity, and one stop bit (8-N-1). The terminal type is TTY (also referred to as generic, or glass pipe). V.42 (LAPM or MNP5) error correction and V.42bis data compression are also enabled. Communication packages such as Crosstalk and Procomm are asynchronous. The Gateway uses the XMODEM asynchronous file transfer protocol.

b) Bisynchronous

The synchronous protocol is half-duplex RJE/3780 bisynchronous running on a V.32 modem (9600 or 4800 bps) or a 208 A/B modem (4800 bps), using the following parameters:

RJE/3780 Parameter Gateway Remote Partner Dial-in Station Type 1 Primary Primary Dial-in Station Type 2 Secondary Secondary Character Set EBCDIC EBCDIC Message (Record) Size 80 80 Block Size 512 512 Compression 3 Configurable Configurable Transparency Configurable Configurable 1 The station accepting the session call is the primary station. 2 The station initiating the session call is the secondary station. 3 Compression and transparency parameters control message truncation.

The RJE/3780 bisynchronous transmission mode is a point-to-point contention protocol. When dialing-in to the Gateway, the Gateway is the primary station and the remote partner is the secondary station.


2.15

2.4.3 Electronic Transmission, Continued The Gateway is capable of transmitting and receiving data in either non-transparent or transparent modes. When sending in non-transparent mode, compression may also be implemented, effectively allowing messages with trailing blanks to be truncated. The RJE/3780 transmission begins when an STX is received. All subsequent messages are terminated by an ETB until the transmission is complete. When the transmission is complete, the message and the transmission are terminated by an ETX. At this point, the communications line may be returned to the control state (by the transmission of an EOT), allowing the line to be "turned around." When the session is complete, the line may be hung up.

Other configurations are considered on a per-case basis, including systems that require the transmission of command messages prior to and following the transmission of data.

Communication packages such as 3780 emulation are bisynchronous. The Gateway uses RJE/3780.

3) Logging On The Gateway

a) The customer’s PC initiates the dial-in and the modems establish a connection.

b) The customer’s PC sends a control card to the Gateway. The control card includes the

customer’s logon ID, password, and the network destination (APT for AEBS). For example, if the logon ID is TEST1234, and the password is GOODGUYS, the control card is:

/* USER=TEST1234 PW=GOODGUYS NET=APT

?? The message’s first two bytes are /*. ?? The logon ID, password, and network destination fields are separated by a space. ?? The fields following the = are case sensitive.

Gateway user IDs and passwords are assigned when interconnect testing begins. The control card logon ID, password, and network are verified. If successful, the session continues.


2.16

2.4.3 Electronic Transmission, Continued c) After the verification, the Gateway downloads the AEBS data.

For ASYNC protocols, when the Start XMODEM file transfer now!! message is

displayed, the user initiates an XMODEM file receive. When no AEBS data is present, the No mail to download message is displayed and no file receive is initiated.

For BISYNC protocols, the Gateway downloads the AEBS data or sends the No

mail to download message. d) When the Gateway does not receive a control card within one minute of connection,

the Gateway hangs-up to terminated the session. The session is also terminated when the control card is incorrect and when the user is not a registered Gateway user.

4) Logging Off the Gateway

When the download is completed, or when the No mail to download message is received,

the session is terminated by either a text-level EOT message ("/**"), a protocol-level EOT (depending on the protocol used), a line hang-up, or a one-minute period of no line activity.

5) Gateway Assistance

Gateway questions may be directed to the Billing Product Help Desk at (888) 800-6325.

Ameritech Electronic Billing Service Section 3 AEBS Implementation Guide Implementation Release 2.0

3.1

3 Implementation

AEBS implementation includes choosing the media in which Ameritech sends the records and the accounts for which the AEBS files are sent. The initial test is limited to 1 to 5 accounts. After the initial test, a complete listing of accounts is provided to Ameritech (See Section 5.3, AEBS Accounts Listing). The accounts may have any bill date.

The monthly billing detail may be for one, all, or some accounts. However, one tape, CD ROM (or set of tapes / CD ROMs), or transmission is provided for each bill date. For example:

Example 1 Account Number Bill Date 802 555 8304 4th 802 555 2887 4th 802 555 2605 4th 802 555 1549 4th 802 555 6523 4th --------> 1st Transmission/Tape/ CD ROM Example 2

Account Number Bill Date 802 555 2367 10th 802 555 6703 10th --------> 1st tape, CD ROM, or transmission 802 555 5559 17th 802 555 4343 17th --------> 2nd tape, CD ROM, or transmission 802 555 5091 22nd --------> 3rd tape, CD ROM, or transmission


3.2

3 Implementation, Continued Implementation Steps Step 1 Identify the Data Requirements

Each company’s information needs and analysis requirements are different. With AEBS, the files may be reported in any format. For example, a company may require reporting for:

?? Monthly departmental use where different organizations in a department are in different billing cycles

?? Multi-state locations

Whatever the data needs, AEBS may help by providing the information in an easily accessible format.

Step 2 Choose the Media on which to Receive the File

Depending upon the file’s size and available resources, the AEBS file may be received on tape cartridge, tape reel, CD ROM, or electronically through the Ameritech Gateway.

Step 3 Complete the Customer Information Form

To order AEBS, please complete the Customer Information form in Section 5.2 and mail or fax it the Ameritech Technical Support Group.
