Call Allowance Account
A call allowance account is a restricted amount of currency units that is configured for each
telephone. When these units are used up, it becomes no longer possible to make external calls
on the corresponding telephone until the credit is reset.
Configuring Credit for a Call Allowance Account
In order to carry out charge verification, credit can be added to the individual call allowance
accounts. As soon as the configured credit is used up, it is no longer possible to make external
calls on the corresponding telephone until the credit has been increased or reset.
If the remaining amount is used up during a call, the subscriber hears a short attention tone
repeatedly. Afterwards, the call is disconnected.
Proceed as follows:
•
Separately for subscribers
•
Using the configuration manager
•
Using a character string on the internal telephone (see section Short Reference)
Note:
Some telephone service providers do not transmit charges. If this provider
type is used (by manual selection) for making calls, a configured call
allowance account will not apply to the call in question. To avoid this, the
provider phone numbers in question should be entered as restricted numbers
and this function should be enabled for every telephone.
If the LCR procedure Soft-LCR 4.0 is used, the charges are calculated based
on the length of the call and the tariff table set up separately. For this purpose,
you need to specify a price per minute as well as the length of the charge
pulse per switching time and provider.
