•CA Call Accounting Web Client
On the client, you can search for, view, print and save call information. You can also configure the call
charge settings. Because the client application is accessed with a web browser, you can access it from
anywhere on the network.

When an extension user dials an emergency number, an alert window is displayed, and a sound is optionally
played on the server PC.
You can configure the following settings on the server:
•The alert window’s appearance
•The sound to play, how long it is played, etc.

6 Quick Reference Guide

Wake-up Call Alert
When a “Timed Reminder” or “No Answer” for an extension is activated, a notification window is displayed and
a sound is optionally on the server PC.
You can configure the following settings on the server:
•The notification window's appearance
•The sound to play, how long it is played, etc.
Charge Calculation
CA Call Accounting calculates phone call charges based on your charge settings. You can configure up to 4
charge tables for each PBX. Each charge table lets you specify a variety of conditions in order to accurately
calculate call charges.
On the web client, you can customise the charge settings for the criteria below:
•Time of day (peak, off-peak, economy)
•Leading digits of the phone number (for long distance calls, international calls, etc.)
•Trunk
•Holidays
For more information about how call charges are calculated and how to programme the charge tables, see the
help.
Notice
•The call charges calculated by CA Call Accounting are only estimates. The calculated charges may
differ from the actual charges billed by your telephone company.
Note
•The number of SMDR records that can be stored is 100,000. If the memory becomes full, the oldest
SMDR record will be overwritten each time a new SMDR record is received.
•A call charge of up to 7 digits is shown for each call, and the total can consist of up to 17 digits, including
whole numbers (max. 10 digits), the decimal point, and a preprogrammed number of decimal digits
(max. 6 digits). If the call charge exceeds the maximum number of digits, considering that the decimal
point does not move, all numbers will be replaced by nines. For example, if the number of decimal
places is set to 3, the maximum call charge will be calculated as 9 999.999, even if the actual charge
exceeds this.
The number of decimal digits can be programmed via the web client. Go to Options ® Other
Settings ® Currency and Decimal Places Setting.
