The “Administration / Diagnosis” section also includes Dr.

Weekly Budgets
By defining weekly budgets you can determine limits for
ISDN connection charges and for ISDN connection time.
Weekly budget calculations always start at midnight on Mon-
day. The connection charges include all ISDN connections
initiated by KEN!, including those established via “CAPI Ser-
vices”.
The charge units and connection times of all KEN! Clients are
added for both Internet and ISDN connections and compared
with the value entered here. If either of the two budgets is
exceeded, KEN! allows no more communication over ISDN.
Active connections will be cleared down.
Charges can be displayed in KEN! only if the transmission of
charge information is enabled by your network operator. The
forwarding of charge information also must be enabled in
your PBX.
During some ISDN connections with service numbers, no
charge information is transmitted by the telecommunica-
tions provider. In such cases the weekly budget must be reg-
ulated by specifying a maximum connection time instead.
In order to calculate the weekly budget and to create the
record of ISDN use, the cost of one transmission unit from
your ISDN provider must be entered in the “Price per charge
unit” field.
