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.
●
●
The following procedure describes how to configure Time Bands per Cost Group through the Web
interface. You can also configure it through ini file [CostGroupTimebands] or CLI (configure
voip > sip-definition least-cost-routing cost-group-time-bands).
➢
To configure a Time Band per Cost Group:
1. Open the Cost Groups table (Setup menu > Signaling & Media tab > SIP Definitions folder
> Least Cost Routing > Cost Groups).
2. Select a Cost Group for which you want to assign Time Bands, and then click the Time Band
link located below the table; the Time Band table for the selected Cost Group appears.
3. Click New; the following dialog box appears:
■ The parameter value cannot contain a forward slash (/).
Defines the call connection cost (added as a fixed charge to the
call) for a call outside the time bands.
The valid value range is 0-65533. The default is 0.
Note: When calculating the cost of a call, if the current time of the
call is not within a time band configured for the Cost Group, then
this default connection cost is used.
Defines the call charge per minute for a call outside the time
bands.
The valid value range is 0-65533. The default is 0.
Note: When calculating the cost of a call, if the current time of the
call is not within a time band configured for the Cost Group, then
this default charge per minute is used.
You cannot configure overlapping Time Bands.
If a Time Band is not configured for a specific day and time range, the default
connection cost and default minute cost configured for the Cost Group in the Cost
Groups table is applied.
