Call Budget is a cost control feature that allows you to keep a control on the total cost of phone calls made by the
extension users. You may also define the calling permission for extensions and trunks can be allotted a budget. For
more details, see “Call Budget on Extension” and “Call Budget on Trunk”.
Toll Control Levels
For each Toll Control Level from 0 to 3, a 'Call Privilege' is defined. The system applies the Toll Control Level (that
is, the Call Privilege) set by the extension users themselves or set by the System Administrator/Operator for the
extensions using Dynamic Lock.
• Toll Control - Level 0 is Time Zone based, wherein you must define the Call Privilege Type for each Time
Zone, that is, Working Hours, Break Hours and Non-Working Hours. For instance, you may define 'All
Calls' as Call Privilege for Working Hours, 'Local Calls' as Call Privilege for Break Hours and 'No Calls' as
Call Privilege for 'Non-Working' Hours.
By default, Call Privilege 'All Calls' is selected for all three Time Zones.
• Calls allowed for Toll Control Level 1 is not based on Time Zones. By default, the Call Privilege Type for
this level is 'Local Calls'.
• Calls allowed for Toll Control Level 2 is not based on Time Zones. By default, the Call Privilege type set
for this level is 'National Calls'.
• Calls allowed for Toll Control Level 3 is not based on Time Zones. By default, Call Privilege 'No Calls' is
selected for this level.
• Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed is applied only if the “Call Budget on Extension” feature is
enabled on the extension.
• If the feature Call Budget on Trunks is enabled and the budget is exhausted, no calls will be routed through
the trunk. For details, see “Call Budget on Trunk”.
PRASAR UCS offers you the flexibility to redefine the Call Privilege for each of the above Toll Control Levels
according to user requirements.
How it works
• When a call is made, the PRASAR UCS checks the Toll Control Level assigned to the extension making
the call.
• The system checks the 'Call Privilege' programmed in the Toll Control Level of the extension.
• For each call privilege type detected, the system will check the following to determine if call is to be
allowed or denied, as summarized in the table below:
Type Call Privilege detected Logic will check
Local calls Local Number List programmed.
Regional calls Regional Number List programmed
National calls National Number List programmed
Internationals calls International Number List programmed
