604 Matrix PRASAR UCS System Manual
• 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 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 SA will be reloaded in the following month.
• Call Budget is not based on real time (online) call cost calculation. The PRASAR UCS 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 get disconnected, though the budget exceeds. To prevent this from occurring, the System Engineer
may program the “Call Duration Control (CDC)” feature.
• Call Budget is dependent on precise Call Cost Calculation. So, SMDR parameters and long distance
codes must be programmed properly to prevent errors in calculation.
• The PRASAR UCS will calculate cost of phone calls made by extension phones even when no call
budget is allocated

How to configure
The working of this feature is controlled by the parameters: Call Budget check box, Calls allowed when Call
Budget is consumed and Preset Call Budget Amount (this parameter is applicable only for the Hotel Mode).
Call Budget check box and Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed
To enable Call Budget feature on an extension, the System Engineer must enable the Call Budget check box and
define the Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed in the Station Basic Feature Template assigned to the
extensions.
In the default Station Basic Feature Template 01 assigned to all extensions of the PRASAR UCS, the Call Budget
check box is disabled and Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed is set to 'No Calls'.
If Call Budget is to be allowed to all extensions, simply enable the check box in the default Station Basic Feature
Template 01 and select the desired option for Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed.
However, if Call Budget is to be allowed to selected extensions, then prepare a separate Station Basic Feature
Template with the Call Budget check box enabled and the Calls allowed when Call Budget is consumed set to the
desired option. Now, apply this template on extensions that are to be allowed this feature.
Refer the topic “Station Basic Feature Template” for detailed instructions for programming a feature in the template
and assigning templates to extensions.
