M4 How to make first call
This small guide will show how to make your first call after system installation.
Before making configurations, please read the M4 Routing Logic to see the bigger picture.
IMPORTANT! The configuration will allow any CallerID to dial any Destination from the set IP. Adjust settings accordingly to suit your needs.
Create a Tariff
Read more about M4 Tariffs.
Tariffs are a set of Rates (prices) to different destinations.
Go to Billing > Tariffs and here you will see all tariffs grouped by Buy and Sell Tariffs:
- Buy Tariff is your self-cost. Usually, you get the Buy Tariff from your Supplier in a CSV format.
- Sell Tariff is a Tariff for your Users. It’s your Buy Tariff + your profit margin.
A Tariff consists of Rates (prices to a particular prefix).
To make a call, Supplier and User Tariffs must be created and Rates added at least for one prefix.
Go to Billing > Tariffs and click on ADD NEW TARIFF
- Choose a name, for example Test_Buy_Tariff
- Select a currency from a dropdown menu
- Select Terminator
- Click on Create.
After clicking on Create you'll see a message TARIFF SUCCESSFULLY CREATED.
Add Rates
Read more about M4 Rates.
You've just created a Tariff with 0 Rates. The next step is to add Rates. In this simplified guide, we'll add just one rate. Click on RATES (0).
If you want to upload a complete rate sheet, please follow this guide: Import Rates from CSV.
Add a rate to your selected prefix/destination that you plan to dial and click on ADD RATE.
In this example, we'll use the prefix 44 that defines United Kingdom - Fixed.
