Advice of Charges at Station During Call (AOC-D) (not for U.S.) 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Advice of Charges at Station During Call (AOC-D)

Definition  
Call charge information can be recorded on both analog and digital trunks. Call charge evaluation for connections on loop start trunks is performed using the call charge pulses transmitted from the trunk in countries where call charge pulses are used. Call charge information received with the AOC (advice of charges) feature during external calls on digital trunks appears on the telephone display, provided that the carrier makes this information available. The public network supports the following AOC types:
 •   AOC-S - Advice of charges at call setup
   -   Call charge display on the telephone is the same as for AOC-D.
   -   The charges are not displayed if the call was not fully set up or if HiPath 3000/5000 is unable to evaluate the call detail information of a service provider.
 •   AOC-D = Advice of charges during the call
 •   AOC-E = Advice of charges at the end of a call
As long as the user has not initiated another action, the final call charges for a call are displayed for a specific period of time at the end of a call and then added up in call charge memory.
Call charge pulses are converted to monetary amounts on the basis of the call charge factor defined as a currency amount (including any extra charges that may apply) per call charge unit or pulse (refer to Section 12.10 "Call-Charge Display With Currency (not for U.S.)").
