- dbaccess : gives the state ("on’’ or “off’’) of access rights to hard disk backup for accounting
(see § 1.5 : “account dbaccess” command ),

- duration : measures units used for a call or series of calls by using call parameters (called
number, call date and duration) and by using the duration accounting algorithm. This application
allows a client’s call to be cut off (in the case of the hotel application) as soon as the amount of
his/her deposit becomes zero.

- freport : gives daily traces of financial report operations (see § 1.6 : "account freport" command ),

- help : gives the different “account’’ command options (screen above),

- mao : allows management files over the last 90 days to be displayed. Each file is completed with:
• file date,
• file name,
• the date of the first and last ticket stored in the file,
• the number of tickets stored in the file.

- off : denies (bars) access to the accounting data base (see § 1.7 : "account off’’ command ),

- on : authorizes access to the accounting data base (see § 1.8 : "account on" command ),

- save : allows internal accounting tickets contained in the buffer to be backed up on the hard
disk (see § 1.9 : "account save" command ).
Note: The "account" command only requires the initial letter of the following option(s). If several
options have the same initial, you must specify enough initial letters to differentiate them. If there
is any ambiguity, the "help" menu is displayed. Thus, 3 letters are necessary to distinguish between
the ’counters’ and ’compress’ options.

1.2. “account ascii’’ command

The “ascii account ’’ command alllows information on the last compressed 2160 files generated (3
months) to be displayed for the external accounting application.

Information described:

- Date: date and time of creation of the compressed file,

- File name : name of the compressed file,

- First and last ticket dates : the date of the first and last ticket stored in the file,

- Number tickets: the number of tickets stored in the file,

- Charge Units: total number of charge units concerning all tickets in the file.
Note: The “account ascii file ’’ command only take files on the hard disk into account.

1.3. “account compress” command

This option includes the "save " option and forces compression of the current ascii file. You must wait
a few seconds for compression to finish. This command is only valid on the main CPU but the backup
CPU is updated anyway.

1.4. "account counters" command

This command allows:

- subscriber counters to be listed,

- one, several or even all subscriber counters to be reset.

The syntax is as follows:
(0)a4400a> account counters

Use :
account counters action range

action
list display the subscribers counters.
reset delete the administrative subscribers counters.

range
all all the subscribers.
number number can be a subscriber number.
number can be an imcomplete subscriber number
containing wildcards (*, ?).
In this case, number must be surrounded by
the characters ’ or ".
others options available if action = list:
admin list all the administrative subscribers counters.
room list all the room subscribers counters.
client list all the client subscribers counters.
booth list all the booth subscribers counters.

Example

To delete all the counters of the subscribers with

a phone number beginning with the digits 32, the command is:
the command is:

account counters reset "32*"

(0)a4400a>
Only the initial letter of fields is required. Thus ’l ’, ’li ’ and ’lis ’ will always be interpreted as the "
list " option.

1.4.1. "action" field

An action can be either display of a list of, or reset of, all subscriber counters.
A counter reset can only apply to administrative subscribers.
In the case of list display, the number of screen lines may be less than number of lines to be displayed.
In this case, use ’|pg ’, which acts as ’ more ’ but also allows backward scrolling. In the same way,
typing ’h ’ followed by ’return ’ in the help menu allows the results to be printed out without it being
necessary to hit a key at each page change (there is no default page mode).

1.4.2. "range" field

The "range " field defines the action’s target, i.e. the set of subscribers which the action specified in
the "action " field will bear on.
The "all" option (range = all), shows that the action is performed on all subscribers.
If "range " is a given MCDU number, the action will only bear on the corresponding subscriber.
The use of jokers (* or ? ) is allowed. These allow selection of a relevant group of subscribers. The
’* ’ symbol is used to designate any character string and ’ ? ’ can be substituted for any character.
Jokers in the "range " field must be preceded and followed by double or single inverted commas (" "
or ’ ’). So ’ * ’ designates all subscribers.
The "admin ", "room ", "client " and "booth " options are only usable with the "list " action and
display all subscriber counters corresponding to the "range " field.

1.4.3. Examples

1.4.3.1. account counters reset

The "account counters reset all " command must be used instead of "account counters reset ’*’
".
(0)a4400a> account counters reset ’30*’

Do you want to delete

the counters of administrative subscriber(s)
matching the string 30* (y/n) ? y

Your command succeeded,

5 counters of administrative subscribers
have been deleted.

1.4.3.2. account counters list

The "account counters list " command displays the subscriber category, phone number, total number
of calls, total number of charge units (there are three accounting levels for a hotel), cost incurred and
date of the last reset performed on a counter. This command can also be used on the backup CPU.

- all: displays a summary for each type of subscriber (administrative, room, client and booth)
and is as shown in the following example. This example shows a situation where there are
5 administrative subscribers, 5 room subscribers and no client subscribers. The date on the
administrative line is the date of the last overall reset. This can also be performed from the
attendant set.

An "admin " subscriber counter can be reset with the "account counters reset " command or
from the attendant set.
For a room or client subscriber ("room " or "client "), the last reset date is that of his/her check-in.
For booth sets, the reset date is that of the last ticket allocated to a client or a room. If booth set
communications, "booth ", are correctly managed, their counters should be at zero, otherwise this
means that some tickets have not been allocated to a client or room subscriber .

the "account on ’’ command as tickets could be lost at storing.
