## 8431
Customer tariff (cost per pulse) 1

This command defines six (0-5) different customer tariffs (cost per pulse), programmed for each carrier, which can be used for cost metering depending on the programmed data.

The tariff number can be assigned within command 1502 Tariff number.

command | tariff | cost/pulse
8430 | 0 | default (0)
8431 | 1 | default (0)
8432 | 2 | default (0)
8433 | 3 | default (0)
8434 | 4 | default (0)
8435 | 5 | default (0)

If pulses are received, then this command defines the cost of the tax pulse (expressed as a decial number in local currency) for the selected carrier.

If costs are received, then this command defines a multiplication factor with which the cost will be multiplied.

There are two different cost calculation for received pulses as well as received costs.

#### Cost calculation will be done for carrier 0 and tenant 0 with following commands/formulas:

command | function | description
1502 | Customer tariff (0-5) | Has to be set to blank (default value)
8424 | Muliplication factor | Only Carrier 0 and Tenant Group 0 has to be used,

For better understanding, following calculation is used to calculate the costs.

##### Costs per received pulses:

- cost = received pulses * cost per pulse (command 8424)

##### Cost per received costs:

- cost = received costs * multiplication factor (command 8424)
- (multiplication factor = value programmed within the command 8424)

The required value for cost/pulse can have a length of 10 digits including the decimal point.

#### Cost calculation will be done for appropriate carrier/tenant with following commands/formulas:

command | function | description
1502 | Customer tariff (0-5) | Number of used customer tariff
1503 | Carrier number (0-7) | Which are wired to this trunk
1029 | Tenant group (0-15) | Allocated to this trunk
8424 | Muliplication factor | For tenant group

For better understanding, following calculation is used to calculate the costs.

##### Costs per received pulses:

- cost = received pulses * customer tariff
  (cmd 8430 Customer tariff (cost per pulse) 0-8435 Customer tariff (cost per pulse) 5) * multiplication factor (command 8424 Multiplication factors)
- (multiplication factor = value programmed within the command 8424 Multiplication factors)

##### Cost per received costs:

- cost = received costs * customer tariff
  (cmd 8430-8435) * multiplication factor (command 8424)
- (multiplication factor = value programmed within the command 8424)
