Information blockFieldDescription
General


TypeSpecifies, at what stage a current translation rule will be applied:
  • Initial - execute this rule before a Client is identified
  • After Client - execute this rule after client identification but before rate identification
  • After Rate - execute this rule after rate identification but before routing
  • After Routing - execute this rule after routing
Src Code DeckIdentify a code deck that will be used for Src codes or code names filtering
Dst Code Deck

Identify a code deck that will be used for Dst codes or code names filtering

Order

Sets rules ordering. First matched rule will stop further number translations.

(warning)   Attention

Note that this field indicates the order of rules execution only within a specified type. It means that a rule with the Initial type and order 1 will be executed before any other rule of the same type with order ≥ 2. However, such rule will be executed prior to a rule with the After Rate type and order 0, even though the latter has a higher order, due to the fact that Initialis the 1st on the types list.


Origin

Specify the event origin:

  • Origination
  • Termination
NotesSpecify additional informational about a rule
Expiration DateDefine a date when this rule will expire and will be removed from the system
Match

On the Match menu, select required select the required parameters for a traffic processing rule. To cancel any filter, click on the delete  sign next to its name.

You can start a quick search by typing filters' names in the field at the top of the Match menu.

General
ServiceSelect a target from the drop-down list of all services, presented in the Services section of your JeraSoft Billing
GatewaySelect a respective VoIP gateway, for which rule is applied, from the drop-down list
Tags (Any)

A rule will work if an event has at least one of the tags, specified in this field

Tags (All)

A rule will work if an event has all tags, specified in this field

Tags (Not)

A rule will work if an event has no tags, specified in this field

Scr Party ID
Src (Match)In this field, you may indicate POSIX regular expressions syntax, by which a number will be analyzed. If an expression matches the number, the translation will occur in respective settings in the SRC Replace field.
Src Prefixes (Any)A rule will work if an event has at least one of the Src prefixes (e.g., 010, 810), specified in this field
Src Prefixes (Not)A rule will work if an event has no Src prefixes (e.g., 010, 810), specified in this field
Src Prefixes Names (Any)A rule will work if an event has at least one of the Src prefixes names (e.g., vodafone), specified in this field
Src Prefixes Names (Not)A rule will work if an event has no Src prefixes names (e.g., vodafone), specified in this field
Dst Party ID
Dst (Match)In this field, you may indicate POSIX regular expressions syntax (see best practice example below), by which a number will be analyzed. If an expression matches the number, the translation will occur in respective settings in the Dst Replace field.
Dst Prefixes (Any)A rule will work if an event has at least one of the Dst prefixes (e.g., 010, 810), specified in this field
Dst Prefixes (Not)A rule will work if an event has no Dst prefixes (e.g., 010, 810), specified in this field
Dst Prefixes Names (Any)A rule will work if an event has at least one of the Dst prefixes names (e.g., vodafone), specified in this field
Dst Prefixes Names (Not)A rule will work if an event has no Dst prefixes names (e.g., vodafone), specified in this field

  • Allow and Continue -allow a current event to proceed. Search for the next traffic rule;
  • Deny - deny a current event.
Src ReplaceReplacement for a matched rule. For this field to work, the Scr Match filter must be used in the Match information block.
Dst ReplaceReplacement for a matched rule. For this field to work, the Dst Match filter must be used in the Match information block.
Set ServiceAllows to change a specified service to another one while processing them
Tags AddHere you can add tags that will be added for events matching this rule

(warning)   Attention

In the VCS 3.17.0, a new feature regarding TJA database has been added. Starting from this version, while creating a new rule, in the LNP/MNP field, a user can select either tja.ee (Routing Number) or tja.ee (Owner). The difference is as follows:

  • tja.ee (Routing Number) - if a traffic processing rule executes, 372+Original Number will be substituted by 372+Routing Number, specified in the TJA database.
  • tja.ee (Owner) - if a traffic processing rule executes, 372+Original number will remain unchanged. Instead, a Dynamic Tag indicating an owner of the number will be added to the call.

Please find more about TJA database here.


LNP DirectionDefine, which Party ID(s) (Src, Dst, or both) will be used for LNP dipping. To enable this feature, you need to specify the LNP/MNP field.
