C ALL M INUTES PER D AY
The limit of number of call minutes per day. The default value is 240 call minutes per day. Call
minutes will be calculated periodically while calls are active (not when a call is disconnected).
Statistics will be kept to track the total number of call minutes made per day. This statistic will be
written to the statistics log every half hour, and available through the
ds command. The current
value of this statistic will also be displayed on the monitor when the cr stats command is used.
Two actions are available if this limit is exceeded. These actions are:
1. The call will not be allowed; a message will be written to the report log.
2. The call will be allowed; however, a warning will be written to the report log.
Note: Existing calls will not be disconnected when this limit is reached. Subsequent calls may not
be allowed, but existing calls will be allowed to continue.
M AXIMUM C ALL M INUTES PER M ONTH
The maximum number of call minutes per month. The default value is 5520 call minutes per month.
Call minutes will be calculated periodically while calls are active (not when a call is disconnected).
Statistics will be kept to track the total number of call minutes made per month. This statistic will
be written to the statistics log every half hour, and available through the
ds command. The current
value of this statistic will be displayed on the monitor when the cr stats command is used.
Two actions are available if this limit is exceeded. These actions are:
1. The call will not be allowed; a message will be written to the report log.
2. The call will be allowed; however, a warning will be displayed written to the report log.
Note: Existing calls will not be disconnected when this limit is reached. Subsequent calls may not
be allowed, but existing calls will be allowed to continue.
M AXIMUM C ALL L ENGTH
The maximum amount of time (in minutes) that a call is allowed to be active. The default value is
240 minutes.
Note: The system checks for violation of configured maximum call length every five minutes. So,
for example, if you set the maximum call length to one minute, there will be a five minute
window around that one minute in which the system will check for a violation.
Two actions are available if a call exceeds this limit. These actions are:
1. The call is disconnected; a message will be written to the report log.
2. The call is continued; however, a warning will be written to the report log.
C ALL R ESTRICTIONS B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
The Call Restriction feature provides the ability to place limits on the toll costs of operating the
CyberSWITCH. Call Restriction consists of a variety of features that can restrict the number of
switched calls made to remote sites, and also limit the amount of call minutes accumulated for
remote site access.
