10.2 Call Control Support

The Prestige provides two call control functions: budget management and call history.

Please note that this menu is only applicable when Encapsulation is set to PPPoE in Menu

The budget management function allows you to set a limit on the total outgoing call time of the Prestige within certain times. When the total outgoing call time exceeds the limit, the current call will be dropped and any future outgoing calls will be blocked.

Call history chronicles preceding incoming and outgoing calls.
