Print Bill - PhoneSuite Console User Manual

automatically sets a credit limit for calls from that extension. Normally, this is "no limit," but your installer
may have set a fixed value according to your hotel's practices. You may override the default limit manually
by pressing the "Credit Limit" button.
Once a credit limit has been set, it is used as follows: After the extension finishes each call, the total cost
of that extension's calls is calculated. If this total exceeds the extension's credit limit, then the extension's
calling permissions (Long-Distance, Local, and Extension-to-Extension) are automatically turned off. In
addition, a Credit Limit Violation Alarm Message is printed to any printer that is set to print call account-
ing event messages.
The "Credit Limit" button's lamp will light when you press the button, at which time the display will read:
Cred. Limit
=$CC Ent=OK D=Ex
After a short delay, the display will show the current credit limit, in dollars only, in the left part of the bot-
tom line. Press Enter (#) or Exit (D) if the current setting is correct, or type in the new value as two digits
(i.e., 05 for $5.00) and then press Enter (#) to save the new setting or Exit (D) to quit without saving the
new setting.
Notes:
1. A credit limit cannot be set for an extension that is checked out.
2. Setting a credit limit of 00 tells PhoneSuite to ignore all calls made from that extension; this will
allow the extension to make unlimited calls, without tracking these calls for billing purposes; this
setting is normally only used for administrative extensions. Setting a credit limit of 99 tells Phone-
Suite to track and cost calls for that extension, but to not apply any credit limit to these calls.
3. If the credit limit is increased to a value greater than the current room total, the calling permissions
automatically return to the default check-in settings.

Print Bill

If the optional Call Accounting Card is installed, this button can be used to print a "phone bill" for an ex-
tension (a list of all the calls, with total cost, made by the selected extension since it was checked in or
since the last time the extension's calls were cleared with command A51). This bill is printed automatically
when an extension is checked out, but there are situations where it is useful to print it manually without
checking the extension out or to print a second copy after checking the guest out. Example: if a guest ex-
ceeds their credit limit, is cut off from making additional calls, but then pays for the calls that have already
been made, you would want to print the guest's phone bill, clear it (command A51), and reset the guest's
credit limit so they can make more calls.
