Abstract
A method and system is disclosed for configuring a telecommunication switch which controls a telecommunication line. The telecommunication switch is programmed to create a usage record for each outgoing call. The method includes the step of creating in the switch at least one service record for identifying optional features associated with the telecommunication line. The at least one service record includes a line class code field and a service feature code field. The method also includes the steps of receiving a signal representing line class code data enabling the telecommunication switch to create a usage record for each incoming call, and storing the line class code data in the line class code field. The method finally includes the steps of receiving a signal representing service feature code data for identifying usage records, and storing the service feature code data in the service feature code field. The telecommunication switch configured according to the present invention creates usage records for reporting both incoming and outgoing calls associated with the telecommunication line.
