3.13. Subscribers
A subscriber (or customer) is bound to a particular telecommunications node in Tariscope. The telecommunications node can contain one or more telecommunications equipment. Minimally telecommunications node can consist of a single telecommunications equipment. PBX, telephone exchange or data transfer device can be considered as the telecommunications equipment. A subscriber can have one or more phone numbers or IP addresses belonging to one or more telephone system. A subscriber can have minimally one phone number or one IP address.
On initial start of Tariscope the Initial configuration wizard starts. One of the steps of the wizard is intended to type subscriber data. Tariscope supports several different options for input of subscriber data. In the initial settings wizard, you can enter only the data using automated methods:
- Import from file. The subscriber data are imported from files of following formats: Microsoft Excel or Access, CSV, dBase, Text, database of Tariscope 2.x.
- Import from Active Directory. The subscriber data are imported from Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP directory.
- Automatically create subscribers. Some subscriber data are automatically created during CDR processing. A subscriber phone number with 'a' prefix is used as a subscriber name.
Since all of these methods are available during work with the Tariscope or Tariscope Management programs, they will be discussed later.
Start the Tariscope program. On the menu, select: Service → Tariscope Management. The new tab opens. It is the same to the Tariscope Management program. You can also open this tab by click on the F8 key or click on the Management icon on the toolbar.
If you have not created a telecommunications node, create it in accordance with the recommendations contained in this document. If you already have a telecommunications node, double-click on the name of the node. The program window will be as shown in Figure 3.13.1.
