This section represents local databases (further on, we'll describe everything on the example of two providers: Numuri and TJA). Here you can find the list of ranges and numbers downloaded by Files Collector. It's intended to facilitate the administration of number portability. Number Portability refers to the ability to transfer either an existing fixed-line or mobile telephone number assigned by a local exchange carrier and reassign it to another carrier.
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. |
The section consists of 3 tabs:
The tab is presented in the form of a table of ranges of numbers with the following columns:

Column Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
ID | Identification number of a number range | |
Range Start | Starting number in a respective range | |
Range End | Final number in a respective range | |
Owner | Name of a number range owner | |
Modification Date | Indication of the latest date of numbers range modification |
Functional buttons/icons that are present in a section are as follows:
Button/Icon | Description | |
---|---|---|
Allows creating a new range of numbers for Numuri provider | ||
Allows adding a new number for TJA provider | ||
Allows managing an existing range of numbers on a list | ||
Allows deleting a range of numbers from the system. Requires confirmation |
Use the Advanced Search drop-down menu for fast investigation in this section. This tool provides a filter to limit the search results for higher working efficiency. By default, section data is filtered by the Numuri provider. To display TJA provider data, in a drop-down menu select TJA in the Provider field. Click on the blue downward arrow icon.

Attention 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 Billing is integrated with the following providers:
The Gateways tab is presented in the form of a table of gateways of all 6 above-mentioned providers with indication of its name and assigned data source. However, only Numuri, TJA and Lithuanian can be managed. To 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):

Downloads History tab displays files downloading history through one of the number portability gateways. It is presented in the form of a table where ID, gateway name, filename, download date and file size are specified. You can also remove files from the list by selecting them and clicking on the Delete button above the tab.

LNP/MNP configuration can be divided into 2 steps:
Step 1
To configure a download of external data, namely LNP/MNP file updates, you need to:
Go to the Gateways tab of the Number Portability section and open TJA or Numuri gateway settings.
Assign IMAP or Web (Numuri) data source to a respective gateway.

At first, downloaded files will be displayed in the Downloads History tab. After being parsed by the Files Collector tool, numbers will be displayed in the Number Portability tab.
Step 2
The next stage is to configure JeraSoft Billing addressing to our local LNP/MNP databases during routing. To do so:
Congrats! Your LNP/MNP is configured and ready for work.
