ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide

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. 

This is the second option in Menu 24.9 - System Maintenance - Call Control. It displays 
information about past incoming and outgoing calls. Enter 2 from Menu 24.9 - System 
Maintenance - Call Control to bring up the following menu.

elapsed time is the time used up within this 
period.

minutes out of the 1-hour
