Figure 89 Budget Management
The total budget is the time limit on the accumulated time for outgoing calls to a
remote node. When this limit is reached, the call is dropped and further outgoing
calls to that remote node is blocked. After each period, the total budget is reset.
The default for the total budget is 0 minutes and the period is 0 hours, meaning no
budget control. You can reset the accumulated connection time in this menu by
entering the index of a remote node. Enter 0 to update the screen. The budget and
the reset period can be configured in menu 11.1 for the remote node.
