Call Charge information

9 System Administration

The ECS Reports Generator produces all standard reports, plus the following:

The Unused Extension Report shows all unused extensions.

The Configuration Pictorial graphically depicts your system, with cabinet, carrier, and slot representation. It maps the station data to the configuration data so you can easily determine where stations are assigned for a port on a circuit pack. You can easily see which ports are free on which slots and what the port names are.

The Configuration Summary provides a total system inventory with totals of circuit packs in use and the total number of free ports. It also recommends ways to consolidate and conserve resources.

The Station Reports allow you to sort station data in a variety of columns.

The Phone Directory allows you to create and maintain a directory list for general distribution. You can define some extensions as unlisted, and they will not be printed in the directory.

The Out of Service Trunks report notifies you during off-peak hours of any trunks that are not functioning.

All of these reports can export data formatted for use by other database management applications.

Call Charge information

DEFINITY ONE provides two ways to know the approximate charge for outgoing calls:

Advice of Charge — For ISDN trunks

Advice of Charge collects charge information from the public network for each outgoing call. Charge advice is a number representing the cost of a call; it is recorded as either a charging or currency unit.

Periodic Pulse Metering — For non-ISDN trunks

Periodic Pulse Metering accumulates pulses transmitted from the public network at periodic intervals during an outgoing call. At the end of the call, the number of pulses collected is the basis for determining charges.

Call-charge information helps you to account for the cost of outgoing calls without waiting for the next bill from your network provider. This information is especially important in countries where telephone bills are not itemized. You can also use this information to let employees know the cost of their telephone calls, encouraging them to save money on toll calls.

Note: This is unavailable in some countries. Please check with your Account
