Figure 34-4 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 will be dropped and further outgoing calls to that remote node will be 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.
