CFG File Development
If AOC is not supported on the network and the SetAOCTimeout flag is set to 1, timeout duration set
by the IdleTimeoutISP flag or the IdleTimeoutRCN flag is applied.
If the value of the SetAOCTimeout flag is set to 0 or blank, Advice of Charge is not supported.
Cost Control Settings
The cost control features are modified by using the options in the Cost Control Settings window and by
using flags in a CFG file. The end user can limit data transfers to one B channel instead of the default,
two B channels. The user can also specify the time of day when the data connection can be established.
The flags in the CFG file that manage the cost-control features are described in this section.
Restrict the Data Channel
Restrict data transfers to one channel by disabling the multilink feature of Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP). The flag syntax is as follows:
[Cost Control Settings]
SetRestrictToOneDataChannel=0
If the flag value is set to 1, PPP multilink is disabled, and the data transfers through one B channel.
If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, PPP multilink is enabled, and data transfers through two B channels.
Restrict the Time of Day
Data transfers through the ISDN service can be restricted to specific times of the day and time duration.
The flag syntax is as follows:
[Cost Control Settings]
SetRestrictTimeOfDayWhenDataCallsCanBeMade=0
SetStartTime=
SetEndTime=
If the flag value is set to 1, data transfer is allowed during the time of the day specified by the
SetStartTime and the SetEndTime flags.
If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, the data connection is allowed at all the times of the day.
SetStartTime indicates the time the router begins allowing data through the connection. The parameter
is indicated in 24-hour format.
SetEndTime indicates the time the router stops allowing data through the connection. The parameter is
indicated in 24-hour format.
