If you have enabled least-cost routing on the router modules, connections may be
established to providers who do not transmit any charge information!
Time-dependent connection control
However, this mechanism will not work if the ISDN connection does not provide charge
information. That may be the case, for example, if the provision of charge information
was not requested for the connection, or if the telecommunications provider generally
does not supply this information.
The telephone charges can still be controlled by limiting the maximum connection time.
This requires setting up a time budget—similar to the charge budget—for a specified
period. In the router's default state, for example, connections may only be established
for a maximum of 210 minutes per week.
When either of these limits are reached, all open connections that were initiated by the
router itself will be shut down automatically. The budgets will not be reset to permit the
establishment of connections until the current period has elapsed. Needless to say, the
administrator can reset the budgets at any time if required!
The charge and time monitoring of the router functions can be disabled by entering a
budget of 0 units or 0 minutes.
Only the router functions are protected by the charge and time monitoring functions!
Connections via LANCAPI are not affected.
Settings in the charge module
The interface settings for the ELSA LANconfig can be found in the 'Management'
configuration section on the 'Charging' tab, or under
/Setup/Charges-module
during telnet or terminal sessions.
In the charge module, the online time and registered charges can be set, monitored and
used to control call establishment.
