[asterisk-biz] Billing Project

Hi Mark,

As you are providing pre-configured audiocode gateways you can use RADIUS server feature of audiocode for CDR and accounting. This way you don't need to pass all calls through Asterisk. You can use Asterisk or Ser for user authentication allowing audiocode to use reinvite feature for media path.
Let me know if you need further inputs on this.

With best Regards,

  Hi everyone, 

        I want to see if anyone has done this and if so if there is anyone that would help implement the following. 

         

        I do not expect this to be free either J 
       
        Beginning in 2 weeks we will be providing pre-configured Audiocodes gateways to our clients so that they can use them and do hi volume telemarketing which will be outbound only. No features, No supplements. The issue I am running into is that we need the CDR sent to us so we can bill the minutes but we want the media packets to go straight to the termination provider. Otherwise I will have to constantly monitor my master account and manually notify my customer when their balance is low. I would like to put an asterisk box in the middle so that I can configure the gateway to send the media packets of the call straight to the termination provider but have the call details sent to us on our asterisk box so that I can bill them and not do EVERYTHING by hand. 

         

        Last but not least - pulling all of the traffic for each channel is out of the question for me. I have 144 channels sold and that would cost a ton of money in bandwidth to have my clients terminate to me and then pass the traffic to my provider. 

         

         

        P.S. - Is there a program that monitors dropped calls by using statistics or data measurements? I use 48 lines with an autodialer but who knows how many of the calls dump and how many stay connected. All I know is my cost per lead is LOW. 

         

        Email me anytime with recommendations and I will be open to ideas and suggestions
