About
LCR (Least Cost Routing) is a set of Providers that should be used to send a call when trying to dial any destination - for example, by the cheapest rate.
The correct name for such a function is a Routing Table, because the function supports other ways of routing, not just finding the cheapest route.
LCR supports fail-over. That is, if one provider fails, the next one is dialed. This is completely invisible for the caller and lets you increase the chances of the user reaching his destination. If one Provider is not capable of delivering a call, the system will try to use the remaining Providers.
The LCR window can be found in SETTINGS – Billing – LCR.
Supported routing modes:
- By Price - cheapest first (Least Cost Routing).
- By priority.
- By percent or Weight-based routing.
The user has one base LCR, so that all his calls are routed by some preset rule.
It is possible to route different destinations for a User using Call routing per destination basis.
Make tariff from LCR
In MOR there is also a feature that gets you a CSV with the best prices selected from the list of Providers in LCR. Go to SETTINGS block -> Billing -> LCR. You will see this window:
Click on the icon and the download should start automatically.
Copying LCRs between resellers
This functionality will be available in MOR 12.
Sometimes you need to make a LCR which takes quite a long time to make. If you have made a similar one before you can just copy it and change appropriate details. Go to SETTINGS block -> Billing -> LCR -> Copy LCR (as shown below in the picture). You willl see this window:
Choose Original LCR reseller and Cloned LCR reseller and click Clone button.
Please note that LCR will not be allowed to copy if reseller B is not allowed to use Providers which are used by Reseller A.
