Features

PortaBilling100 for NexPoint (NextTone) provides the following functionality in addition to the standard PortaBilling100:

• Modified RADIUS server to allow real-time authentication/authorization for calls passing via NextPoint
• A different handling of dictionaries in the RADIUS server so the billing can simultaneously communicate with NextPoint and with Cisco/PortaSIP nodes (or other gateways, using Cisco VSAs). This allows running services such as pre-paid cards, where the IVR is provided on the Cisco gateway and then call is sent to the NextPoint
• Modified billing engine code, to supply workarounds for providing services not directly supported by NextPoint: real-time authorization for credit accounts, toll-free calls, etc.
• Special handling of call-id/h323-conf-id conversion to hybrid (SIP->H323, H323->SIP) calls
• Various modifications for the billing engine logic (e.g. to support ANI/IP based billing according to the information supplied by NexPoint
• Several additional custom reports to facilitate the management (e.g. “Full LCR table”, etc.)
• A script for importing NexPoint text CDR files (for off-line CDR import)
