Configuring Time Bands for Cost Groups
The Time Band table lets you configure Time Bands per Cost Group. A Time Band defines a day
and time range (e.g., from Saturday 05:00 to Sunday 24:00) and a fixed call connection charge and
call rate per minute for this interval. You can configure up to 70 Time Bands, where up to 21 Time
Bands can be assigned to each Cost Group.
● You cannot configure overlapping Time Bands.
● If a Time Band is not configured for a specific day and time range, the default
connection cost and default minute cost configured for the Cost Group in the Cost
Groups table is applied.
The following procedure describes how to configure Time Bands per Cost Group through the Web
interface. You can also configure it through ini file [CostGroupTimebands] or CLI (configure
voip > sip-definition least-cost-routing cost-group-time-bands).
➢ To configure a Time Band per Cost Group:
1. Open the Cost Groups table (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > SIP Definitions folder

2. Select a Cost Group for which you want to assign Time Bands, and then click the Time Band
link located below the table; the Time Band table for the selected Cost Group appears.
