Connection costs
Cost menu – Overview:
Your telecommunications system can record the
costs of calls if your network operator offers the
ISDN feature “Transfer connection costs at the end
of the call” and the providers you use also transmit
these.
You can have the connection costs printed on a serial printer.
For technical reasons the data on the telephone bill
may differ from the connection cost totals of your
telecommunications system. The network operator’s tariff unit counter is always the last instance.
PIN (Personal Identity Number) – You can protect
access to the costs menu by entering a 4-digit cost
PIN. If you hear the busy tone when you start the
cost menu, you have to enter the cost PIN
after
*KOS
. If you hear the short acknowledgement tone, no PIN is defined for the cost
menu.
If you forget the cost PIN, you can change it with
TK-Set on the PC or contact your dealer.
Factor for a tariff unit – Use the maximum 4-digit
user factor (e.g. 0,121 sDM per unit) to define
how much a tariff unit costs for every internal subscriber.
With the maximum 4-digit basic factor, set your
telecommunications system to the amount
(Pfennigs per unit) which the network operator
charges for one tariff unit.
Limit / Disconnect at limit – You can define a 7digit cost limit (Pfennigs) for every internal subscriber. You can also define what is to happen
when the cost limit is reached. Can the internal
subscriber continue the conversation he has begun
but not start a new external call or will the connection be cut off. The subscriber can only make external calls again after clearing his total costs.
Exception: The direct phone number can also be dialled on reaching the limit.
Setting printing format – You can set the printout of the connection data records for adaptation
to the printer:
- standard (80 characters/line)
- short (24 characters/line)
- duration (80 characters/line), duration of the
connection if the connection costs are not transmitted by the network operator.
Formatting printout - You can print out the connection data via a serial printer at the PC/printer interface. You can set the formats for the printout of
the selected external phone numbers:
- printout without external phone numbers or
- printout with complete external phone numbers
or
- printout with abbreviated external phone numbers (without the last three digits).
Switching the cost log on/off - You can define
whether or not the cost log is to be printed immediately at the end of every external connection for
individual internal subscribers or for all internal subscribers.
Printing/resetting total costs - Your telecommunications system saves the connection cost totals
for
- every internal subscriber
- every multiple subscriber number (MSN) of your
telecommunications system
- the S0 access (your ISDN access)
- all data records
- the system (internal, MSN, S0)
You can print out the total costs at any time and
reset them if necessary.
Your telecommunications system also saves the
connection costs in the event of a power failure.
