The Billing Event Information object is a child of the Billing Application Control object. It provides information about hourly and daily counts of each type of billing event. These objects are set up automatically by the VP3000, and you cannot create or delete them.
There is a Billing Event Information object for each of the event types in Table 7-2 of GR-508, as shown for the Event type parameter below.
