How it works

TJA (RN): During the translation of the call, the system verifies the code of a TJA number, identifies the number, and changes the Dst Number to 372+RN Number.
Numuri/TJA (Owner): During the translation of the call, the number is verified and the system applies a dynamic tag (owner's name) to the call for further billing. 

Section The section consists of 3 tabs:

  • Number Portability
  • Gateways

In VCS 3.17.0, for the purpose of making the Traffic Processing section more versatile, the TJA gateway has been divided into TJA (Routing Number) and TJA (Owner)(more information can be found in this article). Please note that each gateway in the tab has its own unique and predefined format of LNP update file, thus, we recommend to address our support center to avoid any possible issues while configuring the gateways.

Apart from Numuri and TJA, JeraSoft VCS is Billing is integrated with the following providers:

  1. Broadvox
  2. Vera Networks
  3. PCT

The Gateways tab is presented in a the form of a table of gateways of all 6 above-mentioned providers with an indication of its name and assigned data source. However, only Numuri and TJA can be managed. To assing a assign a new data source to a gateway, click on a respective gateway name and specify a target data source in a corresponding field (see screenshot below). Depending on a selected data source, additional fields may differ (see Data Source section):
