5 Customize the ZBA Behavior

ZBA can be customize using the DCA Framework, and then Zero Balance Application screen or as an independent application on the following DSR menus:
  • Custom MEALS
  • General Options
  • Trial MPs Assignment
  • Application Control
  • System Options (SO only)

Note:

For specific information about configuration activities, refer to Configured ZBA Database Tables. Also, refer to the DCA Programmer’s Guide and DCA Provisioning Interface.
The ZBA configuration database schema uses the following options to customize the application behavior:
  • Detection Interval: The time interval during which Zero Balance events are monitored. Range: 1-30. 30. Default is 5 (values are in seconds).
  • Blocking Interval: The time duration during which a subscriber is blocked after exceeding the number of allowed zero balance events. Range: 60-1800. Default is 60 (values in seconds).
  • Maximum ZB Events: The number of allowed zero events during a detection interval before blocking a subscriber. Range: 1-5. Default is 1 (value is integer).
  • Egress Result Code: The configurable egress result code used when ZBA generates an answer during a blocking period (value is string).
  • Ingress Result Code: One to four ingress result codes can be configured to determine a Zero Balance event when an answer message contains one of these result codes (values are string).
