Eicon Networks DIVA T/A ISDN manual Initial Billing

	The VT100 Configuration Tool
Parameter	Description
Initial Billing	This option only applies if your ISDN connection protocol is set to ‘Multilink PPP’.
Interval	Note: You must activate ‘BACP/BOD’ before setting the intervals.
Billing	Set these intervals to ensure your second B-channel is used most economically.
Interval
	‘Initial Billing Interval’: Specifies the minimum time a B-channel can remain
	open (in seconds). For example, if the value is set to 600, a channel, once open,
	will remain open for at least 10 minutes (600 seconds).
	If you are charged a fixed amount for the first x seconds of a call (e.g. 300
	seconds), a good rule of thumb is to set the interval to this value, e.g. 300. For an
	example of setting the intervals under more advanced conditions see “Billing
	Interval Example” on page 137.
	Setting the interval to 0 disables it. The Billing Interval is also effectively disabled.
	Default: 60 seconds.
	‘Billing Interval’: Specifies the time interval your Service Provider uses to bill
	usage of your ISDN line (in seconds). For example, if your Provider charges $Y per
	60 seconds, enter 60. For an example of setting the Interval under more
	advanced conditions see “Billing Interval Example” on page 137.
	Setting the interval to 0 disables it. The Initial Billing Interval remains in effect.
	Default: 60 seconds.
Update Date	Models equipped with analog device ports only.
Update Time	If you have a phone with call display and are receiving calls with the incorrect
	time or date, use ‘Update Date’ and ‘Update Time’ to reset the date and calendar.
	If you power off the DIVA T/A, you should use ‘Update Date’ and ‘Update Time’
	when you turn it back on. This assures that the correct date and time are set on
	the DIVA T/A.

11After completing the advanced parameters configuration, press Escape to exit the ‘Advanced’ menu.

12From the main menu, select ‘Save Profile’ and press Enter to save the changes made to the profile.

13Select ‘Restart’. Verify that the correct startup profile is specified, then press Enter.

After the DIVA T/A has restarted, check that the ‘D’ and Link LEDs on the DIV AT/A's front panel. If the LEDs are steady, the DIVA T/A is working correctly; if they are not steady, check your configuration and try again. Note that, in Europe, an inactive ‘Link’ LED indicates an idle condition. For more details on the LEDs, see “LED Status Indicators on the DIVA T/A” on page 132.

Your DIVA T/A is configured for ISDN. Close your VT-100 application. Go to “Using the DIVA T/A” on page 84.
