Directions and Destinations
Description
Directions refers to countries, or perhaps to a satellite network. The term merely describes the direction in which the call is routed. Destinations are more concrete concepts of the calls course. Example that explains these terms better:
Let's say we are dialing number 37068547771. According to this number MOR knows that the is Lithuania, but the Destination is the mobile network Bite. Destinations are determined by the Prefix which is unique for each destination. The Prefix in the example is 370685.
Who can configure and use destinations?
- Only admin can create, edit, delete directions and destinations and access Direction and Destinations pages.
Usage
Go to SETTINGS –> Billing –> Directions.
You can see all Directions with their details, such as country code and assigned destinations number, in the main window.
If you click on statistics icon 
, you can see how many calls were made to that direction during the selected time period.
You can also edit 
the name of a direction, but you cannot change the country code. When deleting the direction all the destinations assigned to that direction will also be deleted.
By clicking on destinations column (shown in the image above), you can access the destinations list for specific direction:
Destinations can have several types/codes:
- FIX – fixed numbers
- MOB – mobile numbers
- NGN – non geographical numbers
IMPORTANT NOTE: When adding new destinations, make sure you include them in some Destination Group. Otherwise you will get corrupted invoices if the user uses a retail tariff.
- QUESTION: How do you import destinations from a file?
- ANSWER: You can import them using the Tariff import script. Just create a dummy tariff, add dummy rates, and import. Destinations will be created automatically. Later you can delete the tariff. Just remember to enter prefixes in E.164 format.
NOTE: You can get a CSV file with all Destinations in the Tariffs window. It is suitable for rate entering and importing back to MOR.
