meter increment
meter increment
To specify the increments for debiting quota by the CSG2 upon completion of a service configured for
Service Duration Billing, use the meter increment command in CSG2 service configuration mode. To
restore the default behavior, use the no form of the command.

Syntax Description
Defaults The default increment is 1 second.
Command Modes CSG2 service configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines If basis second is configured for the service, the network usage (usage excluding the initial charge) is
rounded up to the nearest integer multiple of the increment value when the Service Stop is sent. For an
increment value of 60, the CSG2 does not round up 120 seconds of network usage; however, the CSG2
does round up, say, 163 seconds of network usage to 180 quadrans before it calculates total usage for
reporting in the Service Stop.
Note The rounding-up of network usage is not reflected in calculations for the Usage
Tag-Length-Value (TLV) in Service Reauthorization Requests.
The increment value is considered when determining whether sufficient quota exists for granting
network access for a session. For instance, if the increment is 60, the network usage is 50, and the
balance is 10, network access is permitted. However, if the increment is 60, the network usage is 70, and
the balance is 10, network access is not permitted because the balance is not sufficient to satisfy the
entire increment (that is, a minimum of 1 minute of quota would be required to allow access for a portion
of the minute).
value Increment, in seconds, for debiting quota upon completion of a
service configured for Service Duration Billing. For example, to
enable the CSG2 to charge quota per minute instead of per second,
specify meter increment 60.
The range is from 1 to 65535. The default value is 1.
