General

System Status

The system status shows general status information such as calls over time, top talkers and activity within the last 24 hours. Media Switches show the call processing servers and their status. This information is updated every minute. You can double click on a switch to garner more information about the switch and to control status and perform user exchanges when a switch is to replace another one.

Announcements

The announcements feature allows you to distribute an announcement to all system mailboxes. This feature needs to be enabled through your vendor. Please contact Taridium support for further details.

The CDR Viewer allows you to view all CDR records on the system. Click on the yellow detail arrow to show further information about a particular record. This includes Account Code on placed calls, User Field on received calls or both depending on the usage case. If enabled in the system configuration this will also show the IP address (Peer IP) that originated the call.

For more details about CDR collection please refer to Comms CDR.

System Setup

The system setup provides access to various configuration elements:

Switches

The Switches section provides access to the switch editor. It allows the addition of new switches, editing and removal.

Feature Map

The feature map allows you to map features to individual star codes. Multiple assignments are possible. Some star codes cannot be used if they are already in use on the switches, or need to match the configuration. Examples include call parking prefix *7 and call parking transfer destination *700.

Note that these settings will never affect already invoiced calls. CDR records are purged at 3AM every day.

Plans

Plans in comms set general settings for accounts such as features, restrictions and billing. Comms has two types of plans: Enterprise Plans that apply to enterprises and Retail Plans that apply to retail users. Plans can be limited to resellers.

Enterprise Plans

Enterprise Plans control limits and features of enterprises. Use the copy plan button to copy an existing plan.

If you have rates in secondary tables you can activate them with the activate rates button. This will swap the rates from the active to the selected secondary table and put the secondary rates in to the active table for use.

Upload Rates

The upload rates dialog allows you to upload rates for the system. Take care to follow the exact upload CSV format specifications. If you are uploading existing rates (matched by the destination), the rate will be updated rather than duplicated. You can optionally specify a rate table ID.

Rated Calls

The rated calls overview gives you a list of rated calls that are searchable by rated/un-rated and call date. Errors display calls that have been sent off-net but haven't been rated by the system. Usually this happens due to a missing destination or catch all pattern in the rate table.
