15.5.2.1.1 Configuring Time Bands for Cost Groups
The Time Band table lets you configure Time Bands per Cost Group. A Time Band defines
a day and time range (e.g., from Saturday 05:00 to Sunday 24:00) and a fixed call
connection charge and call rate per minute for this interval. You can configure up to 70
Time Bands, where up to 21 Time Bands can be assigned to each Cost Group.
