About credit limit

As the attendant, you can control credit limit on a per-station basis to regulate calling privileges for cash-paying customers. Your facility can choose from three versions of the credit limit feature as follows:

Table 2-2 Summary of credit limit types

Credit Limit	Definition
Feature

Trunk disconnect	Trunk disconnect limits calls from a
	credit-limit station to a certain
	duration. Calls that exceed the
	duration are automatically
	disconnected. This method is
	intended for highly restrictive
	environments (e.g. prisons or
	businesses that limit usage on certain
	phones).
Lookahead credit	The lookahead option pre-calculates
	a charge and corresponding
	maximum call duration for each call
	type. Calls are automatically
	disconnected when the current credit
	value is exhausted. A warning tone is
	sent to the caller 60 seconds before a
	call is disconnected.
Positive value	The positive value credit limit never
	disconnects a call in progress.
	However, the station is not allowed
	to begin the call, unless the credit
	value is above zero.
