Limiting ISDN Connections
Normally, the network administrator should monitor ISDN connec-
tions daily, using ISDN Console (see above) or an SNMP-based
management console such as AVM´s MPR for ISDN Router Manager,
to detect aberrant situations and to avoid unnecessary connection
charges by immediately sorting out the cause for such situations.
For situations where daily monitoring is not possible for whatever
reason, the NetWare MultiProtocol Router for ISDN 3.1 provides two
useful mechanisms to limit connection charges: the ISDN Connection
Monitor, which was already introduced with version 3.0, and the new
ISDN Budget Manager.
ISDN Budget Manager
The ISDN Budget Manager allows configuration of the maximum
amount of money or the maximum number of charge units you want
to spend for a call destination per month, week and day.
When one of the maximum values is reached, the connection to the
remote site is cleared and incoming and outgoing connections to this
call destination are no longer allowed. To allow connections again,
either set the expired budget value to (None) or configure a higher
value. The current values are not reset when one of the maximum
values is reached!
