Small Office Remote Access Switch 305C ONFIGURING C ALL C ONTROLBandwidth ReservationNotes: It is important to note that the Call Restriction feature only applies to outbound calls fromthe system.When a condition occurs that triggers a warning to be written to the log, the message willbe written only once for the duration of the condition.For example, if the network’s total amount of connect time is estimated to be less than three hoursper day, call restrictions could be set up to place a limit on the number of call minutes per day to240. (Three hours would be 180 minutes; however, there may be some unusual days that go over alittle, hence, 240 minutes.) If a newly installed application starts sending out packets on the LANthat causes remote connections to be made all the time, the system will terminate the call, andprevent any more calls from being made after 4 hours (240 minutes) of connect time to the remotesite. Thus, the phone bill would be limited to just four hours of connection time. If desired, thesystem can be configured to issue a warning when the limit is exceeded instead of stopping thecalls.B ANDWIDTH R ESERVATIONThe bandwidth reservation feature allows a portion of possible CyberSWITCH connections toalways be available to specific devices for both inbound and outbound calls.CONFIGURING B ANDWIDTH RESERVATIONTo implement this feature, you need to configure specific device profiles, reference them in thedevice list, and then enable the bandwidth reservation feature.
