The ECS Reports Generator produces all standard reports, plus the following:
• The Unused Extension Report shows all unused extensions.
• The Configuration Pictorial graphically depicts your system, with cabinet, carrier,
and slot representation. It maps the station data to the configuration data so you
can easily determine where stations are assigned for a port on a circuit pack. You
can easily see which ports are free on which slots and what the port names are.
• The Configuration Summary provides a total system inventory with totals of
circuit packs in use and the total number of free ports. It also recommends ways
to consolidate and conserve resources.
• The Station Reports allow you to sort station data in a variety of columns.
• The Phone Directory allows you to create and maintain a directory list for general
distribution. You can define some extensions as unlisted, and they will not be
printed in the directory.
• The Out of Service Trunks report notifies you during off-peak hours of any trunks
that are not functioning.
All of these reports can export data formatted for use by other database management
applications.
Call Charge information
DEFINITY ONE provides two ways to know the approximate charge for outgoing
calls:
• Advice of Charge — For ISDN trunks
Advice of Charge collects charge information from the public network for each
outgoing call. Charge advice is a number representing the cost of a call; it is
recorded as either a charging or currency unit.
• Periodic Pulse Metering — For non-ISDN trunks
Periodic Pulse Metering accumulates pulses transmitted from the public network
at periodic intervals during an outgoing call. At the end of the call, the number of
pulses collected is the basis for determining charges.
Call-charge information helps you to account for the cost of outgoing calls without
waiting for the next bill from your network provider. This information is especially
important in countries where telephone bills are not itemized. You can also use this
information to let employees know the cost of their telephone calls, encouraging them
to save money on toll calls.
