Matrix ETERNITY NE - Assigning Call Budget to Extensions Using Jeeves

374 Matrix ETERNITY NE System Manual
• Once a new Call Budget is allocated, the extension user can make calls as per the “Toll Control” assigned
to the extension.
• If the budget exceeds anytime during the month, and if no fresh budget amount is allotted, the system
allows calls to be made as per the Toll Control for Calls Allowed When Call Budget is Consumed till the
end of the month. From the 1st day of the following month, the system automatically reloads the budget
amount. The extension can now make calls.
• The Call Budget allotted to extension is valid for one month. The system automatically reloads the budget
at the start of every month.
• The budget amount can be changed or allotted afresh to extensions from the System Administrator (SA)
mode, at any time. The Call Budget allotted by the System Administrator will be reloaded in the following
month.
• Call Budget is not based on real time (online) call cost calculation. The ETERNITY calculates the call
cost only after the call has ended.
• So, if the Call Budget allotted to an extension user gets exhausted in the middle of a call, the call will
not be disconnected, though the budget is exceeded. To prevent this from occurring, you may
configure the “Call Duration Control (CDC)” feature.
• Call Budget is dependent on precise Call Cost Calculation. So, SMDR parameters and long distance
codes must be configured correctly to prevent errors in calculation.
• This feature works independent of any Call Accounting Software (CAS) installed with the ETERNITY.
• The ETERNITY will calculate cost of phone calls made by extension phones even when no call budget
is allocated
