Prerequisites: System Security – Describes the security packages applied to the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. Caution: If you are a system administrator, review this document first.(See also Additional Security Links.) Release Notes for Release 4.4.0 or Release 4.4.1 – Contains a brief summary of new features and release-specific issues. Component Interoperability for Release 4.4.0 or Release 4.4.1 – Contains a list of external network elements (NEs) that Cisco has tested for interoperability with the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch. Billing Data Options: You can provision the system to use either of the following billing data generation methods depending upon your network requirements: § Call Detail Blocks (CDBs)—This is traditional post-call billing data, which is assembled into Call Detail Records (CDRs) by an external billing mediation system or billing server. § Event Messages (EMs), available only in PacketCable-based networks—This is real-time call data flow, which is transferred to an external Record Keeping Server (RKS) that assembles CDRs from the EMs.
Caution: Cisco strongly recommends that you provision the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch to generate either EMs or CDBs, but not both. Attempting to generate both types of records simultaneously can significantly degrade system performance.
