3.12. Adding a new telephone system
An input of parameters of a new telephone system is a step of a telecommunications node configuration.
When you create a new telecommunications node, a new equipment (a new telephone system) is automatically created as you can see in Figure 3.11.2. Next, you should set parameters for this telephone system.
Double-click on the New equipment row (Figure 3.11.2). The right part of the program will be as shown in Figure 3.12.1
Figure 3.12.1
In the Name box, change the New equipment name on any other name. For example, it can be a real name of your telephone system.
Click on the button located on the right from the Equipment type box. Select a type of your telephone system from a list or use the Search line to find a desired telephone system name. The list contains the following telephone systems:

The selected equipment type will be displayed in the Equipment type box (Figure 3.12.1).
Click on the Configure button, the menu appears. Select Advanced equipment parser settings. The different windows can appear in dependence on the telephone system type. Next, we consider the features of settings for each telephone system.
Now we return to other settings of telephone system that are shown in Figure 3.12.1
If you click on the Configure button, the menu appears which except the Advanced equipment parser settings item contains the following items:
- Numbering plan,
- Routes and gateways,
- Prefixes,
- Restriction classes,
- Accounting data collection.
Configuration pages that are linked with these menu items are also available from the configuration tree when you open the contents of a particular telephone system. These settings will be discussed later.
The Contacts section of the window shown in Figure 3.12.1 contains the following boxes:
- Address. It is used to input an address where the telephone system is located. This is the optional parameter.
- Contact. This box is intended to type a name and surname of the person who is responsible for this telephone system. This is the optional parameter.
- Telephone. This box is intended to type a telephone number of the person who is responsible for this telephone system. This is the optional parameter.
- E-mail. This box is intended to type an email address of the person who is responsible for this telephone system. This is the optional parameter.
The Codes and location section of the window contains the following boxes:
- Long distance prefix. The Long distance prefix is a prefix that allows to make telephone call outside a specific local area, usually to another city. In most countries it is equal 0. If this prefix is another, change it.
- International prefix. The International prefix is a prefix that allows to make call from your country to another country. In most countries it is equal 0. If this prefix is another, change it.
- Country code. The Country code is a numeric code which allows to make call to a specific country or area. Select the code of your country. This code can be used to convert the dialed telephone number in full format, when the Complete dialnumber to E.164 check box is selected.
- Region code. This is an area code. Select your area.
The Long distance prefix and International prefix affect the correct recognition of long-distance and international calls, and consequently on their rating.
The Subscribers and billing section of the window contains the following settings:
- Automatically add missing subscribers. The selection of the check box allows to automatically add subscribers into the Tariscope database during the CDR processing, if subscribers are absent in the database. The system automatically assigns subscriber's name using subscriber's extension number and the 'a' prefix. For example, the subscriber with the name of a.7777 will be added to the Tariscope database when Tariscope processes a call made from the extension of 7777. The Tariscope administrator can change these code names on the real names later. If you select this box this allows to rate calls from all subscribers. Calls from the phone numbers that do not belong to any subscriber will not be rated.
- The Default plan list becomes active only when the Automatically add missing subscribers box is selected. In this case, select the desired rate plan for automatically created subscribers. If the plan is not selected, calls from these subscribers will not be rated.
- The Internal calls rate list is applies if you want to rate internal calls. In this case, select the desired rate. If the desired rate is absent, you should create it. If you want to modify a selected rate, click on the icon located on the right from the list.
If you have not created a profile to get CDR from your telephone system, the prompt in the bottom of the window displays an offer to create this profile. Before moving on to create and configure this profile we recommend to set up such parameters as numbering plan, routes and gateways, prefixes and restriction classes. On the toolbar, click on the Save icon to save the settings and then go to the other configuration pages.
If Tariscope is used to simultaneously process information from multiple telephone systems, the steps above should be performed for each of them.
