This may be necessary, for example, when it is necessary to rate calls on a VoIP provider. When you select the Prefixes page, icons appears on the toolbar that are similar to other configuration pages. There are the following icons: Add, Edit, Delete, and Rename.

In the Name box, type a name that will be assigned for the prefix.
In the Code box, type a set of digits (code or prefix), which is located at the beginning of the dialed telephone number, and which should be replaced by the code that is entered in the Replace to box.
To select a group of codes you can use templates. In this case, select the Prefix code is mask check box.
If necessary to use the prefix only to the dialed phone number of a certain length, select the Number length check box and specify the desired length.
If you want to store the phone number in the Tariscope database in that form as it is located in CDR, do not select the Save changed number check box. Otherwise, select the check box.
In the Replace to box, type a set of digits that will be used to change the prefix entered in the Code box.
If necessary to rate calls made with the use of this prefix on a specific rate plan, in the Operator list, select a required telecommunications service provider. If the provider is absent, you should create it.
To define for which type of telephone numbers the prefix rule will be applied, the Direction list is used. If the Outgoing item is selected in the list, the prefix rule will be applied to dialed numbers of outgouing calls. If the Incoming item is selected in the list, the rule is applied to telephone number of caller for incoming calls.
To specify the time period of the prefix, specify the desired dates in the Active from and To calendar boxes. If the prefix should be permanent, do not specify dates in these boxes.
To change prefix parameters, select the required row in the prefix table and click Edit.
To delete a prefix, select the required row in the prefix table and click Delete.
