Surcharge Calculator

The surcharge calculator is used to assess surcharges on top of the official call
charges.
Four independent surcharge calculators can be configured and allocated to the
cumulative counters of the subscribers or rooms. Call charges are indicated to
each subscriber (only on system terminals with a display) while the call is in
progress. If the subscriber has been allocated a surcharge calculator, the call
charges displayed include surcharges.
The cost curve of a surcharge calculator is defined by the basic surcharge and
4 cost ranges.
For each of the 4 ranges the user can specify a factor with which the call charges
in the corresponding range limits are multiplied.
The basic surcharge is added to every chargeable call. If the basic surcharge is to
be applied only as of, say, –.20, the following settings are necessary:
Range 1: surcharge factor 0; start of range 2: –.20.
This means, for example, that a hotel guest will only be charged for a call as of
the second metering pulse.
Call charges on cost centres allocated to network interfaces or call distribution
elements are never adapted via the surcharge calculator.
No surcharge calculators are configured after an initialization.
