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:

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

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 -> 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.

Failover provider

You can also assign a failover provider to a LCR by selecting No in Use only one provider (Turn off failover):. Default value is Yes.

Failover provider is a provider used only in case of emergency. If all the other providers fail (returns FAILED error code) a failover provider is used.

If Provider returns NO ANSWER or BUSY - it means, that call not FAILED.

If you think that NO ANSWER/BUSY == FAILED, then you can use this setting

Warning! Failover Provider will be used without checking rates. You should notice that you can take loss using Failover provider!
