MONTHLY CALL CHARGE CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

STATUS

Allows you to enable or disable the monthly call charge option.

MAXIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE

The maximum monthly charge value. The legal values are from 1 to 10,000,000. This value is specified according to the country’s currency.

ACTION

Select the action to be taken if the maximum monthly call charge is exceeded. The Stop Calling action will cause the system to stop initiating switched calls. Dedicated connections and incoming calls will continue to operate normally. The continue calling action will cause the system to continue making calls even after the maximum monthly charge is exceeded.

MONTHLY CALL CHARGE BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Currently, this feature is only supported on connections to NTT, NET5, and 1TR6 switches. The “Advice of Charge” information element delivered by the switches are required to track phone call charges.

When the Monthly Call Charges option is enabled, phone call charges are tracked by the system. If the total call charges exceed this configured maximum during the month, the configured action will be taken. At the beginning of a new month, the current total call charges will be reset to 0.

The LCD panel displays the current total call charges for the month. If the configured maximum call charges are exceeded, the system reports a message and the configured action is taken. Refer to the LCD Messages chapter for a listing of the associated LCD messages.
