6.1.4 Idletime Calculation for Incoming Calls

It is assumed that the calling side knows most about charging structures and such and as a consequence only the keyword idletime-incoming has a function for incoming calls.

For incoming calls the line is constantly monitored and in case there was no traffic taking place for the time in seconds specified by idletime-incoming, the call is closed.

Typically, idletime-incoming is used as a last resort and is therefore set much higher than a charging unit time: typical values are one to five minutes.
