PBX Call Tarifficator Lite

Introduction

PBX Call Tarifficator Lite is a call accounting and billing system, which helps you to manage all telephone traffic to and from your office switching system. It can log information for all local, long distance, international and incoming calls, calculate call costs, print detailed cost reports, and provide statistics charts.

PBX Call Tarifficator Lite consists of two modules: Logger module and Calls Browser. Logger module is installed on a PC connected to PBX system via serial port. Calls Browser can be installed on network workstations.

Logger module

Logger module automatically loads on PC startup and continuously receives SMDR information from the PBX system. Valid SMDR records are converted from text to database format and stored on disk. Once setup, Logger module requires no operator interaction, though you can reach the menu by clicking on the yellow handset icon in traybar.
Logger

Logger module also provides basic conversion of the incoming SMDR records. For example, you can exclude some trunks or destinations from logging, delete unwanted prefixes from dialed numbers. You can also set min. and max. dialed number length.

Logger module has built-in terminal emulator support. You can use it to troubleshoot serial link related problems, or to change PBX system configuration.

Calls browser

Calls browser displays a list of call records. Every call record include basic information: call start date and time, extension which placed or answered the call, CO line, dialed number, call duration and calculated cost. Your PBX system can also output some extended information: Caller ID for incoming calls, marks for transferred, forwarded and DISA calls, account codes.

There are a number of sorting modes available. Local, long distance, international and incoming calls are displayed in different colors. Status line shows number, total duration and total cost of the filtered calls. You can change number and order of columns, as well as color palette.

For convenient call browsing, PBX Call Tarifficator Lite has filtering function. This feature helps to display only calls that meet filter criteria. For example you can leave only toll calls, or calls made on specific day.

Context menu
Right-clicking on a call record brings up context menu - a useful tool for quick filtering. You can quickly select calls from current extension or CO line, calls to specific destination or number.

It's possible to find a specific call record if you know the dialed number (of just first digits).

PBX Call Tarifficator Lite can generate basic text cost reports. You can print summary report or detailed per extension, CO line, account code or department. Reports have different sections for all call types (local, toll and incoming). For each section it's possible to print detailed call-by-call information, totals per destination, grand totals or just nothing.

Reports can be immediately printed, saved to text file or exported to use with other programs via clipboard.

PBX Call Tarifficator Lite provides call statistics information in easy-to-read graphics charts. It allows to quickly check if some of the CO lines are overloaded or not used at all, see which extension makes most calls, display daily or hourly load for extensions or CO lines.

Country and city codes are stored in international format. To localize PBX Call Tarifficator Lite you should only add prefixes for long-distance and international dialing used in your country and define toll call rates.

To calculate call costs, PBX Call Tarifficator Lite uses zone rates system, accepted by many telecom carriers worldwide. This system allows assigning a single zone (with a same rate per minute) to any number of country / city codes. Zone definition include basic rate and up to two discount rates. It's possible to define discount rates for weekends and holidays. It's also possible to set rates for local and incoming calls.

It's possible to assign labels to extensions, CO lines and account codes. PBX Call Tarifficator Lite will display this information in corresponding columns. You can define your organization structure as a tree, where nodes represent departments and leafs -employees. Phone book function allows assigning labels to the local phone numbers that you call often. These labels will be show in the Destination column.
