This small guide will show how to make your first call after system installation.

Create a tariff

(For more information about tariffs see Tariffs page.)


Tariffs are a set of rates (prices) to different destinations.

Go to SETTINGS -> Billing -> Tariffs and click Icon add.pngNew tariff

Enter the name (you will use it to recognize tariff (price list) in variuos system places). Choose currency in which you will pay for providers/suppliers. Select what type of tariff do you want and click Create.

In this example tariffs have rates/prices from your Providers. These prices are paid TO Providers when they terminate calls FROM your system to PSTN. This is self-cost for you, e.g. you buy calls using these prices, as it is written next to the blue information icon.

Rates

However if you choose other type than Providers you will have to either import rates from CSV or fill them in manually by clicking Icon rates.pngRates -> Icon add.pngNew rate. The most important fields in Rates are "Prefix" and "Rates".

Create a provider

(For more information about providers see Providers page.)


Go to SETTINGS -> Billing -> Providers and click Icon add.pngNew provider


Providers new.png


Select Technology, from a dropdown list assign Tarrif you have created, select the server and click Create.


Create a LCR

(For more information about LCR see LCR page.)


Go to SETTINGS -> Billing -> LCR and click Icon add.pngNew LCR


Lcr new.png


Enter the name. From a dropdown list select the order. If you select order of providers by price the cheapest way to dial a destination will be used. If you select by priority the call will be routed by a predetermined order. Routing by percent is similar to routing by priority. After you selected click Create.

You will see that there are no providers assigned to this created LCR.

Click Provider.pngProviders.

Assign created provider from the dropdown list and click Add.


Please note that Save changes button is only for failover providers, not for providers in general.

Adding a user

(For more information about user management see Users page.)


To add a user go to SETTINGS -> Users. Click Icon add.pngAdd user.


User new.png


Assign created LCR anc click Create at the bottom of the page.


Add a device for user

(For more information about devices see Devices page.)


To add a device go to SETTINGS -> Users and in the users list click the devices icon (Icon device.png). In the opened window click Icon add.pngAdd new device.


Devices new.png


Enter the name, select device type and click Create.

Softphone

To make a real call, you will need a softphone for a quick test.

You can use your own if it supports the SIP or IAX2 protocols.

For the sake of simplicity, we will show how to configure Idefisk 1.37, which is very small and easily configurable.

First, download from our server and install it. (It is for Windows OS.)

For Linux it can be downloaded here, and for MacOS here.

Use this manual to configure Idefisk with your <SERVER_IP> and username/password of test user's device.

NOTE: that User 101 is by default Blocked to insure maximum security to your system. Unblock it before making a test call.


Dialing

Next, enter a phone number into your softphone and try to dial.

NOTE: enter the number in international (E.164) format. Do not use any international prefixes - use country code + area code + number.

For example, a Lithuanian number is 37063042439, where 370 is the country code, 6 is the area code (MOB network), and all the rest is the number itself.

NOTE: USA/Canada numbers should start with 1 (which is the USA/Canada country code).


  • If you hear nothing, your softphone is not registered to the server.
  • If you hear a message from Kolmisoft, you do not have an account on our server (contact us to get one).
  • If you hear ringing, everything is okay.



Call Logs

After the call, you can check your call in the system.

Go to: STATISTICS -> Calls -> Last Calls and you will see your call.

It will be already billed.
