How do I limit the usage of a subscriber per month?

In the 'Quota usage' table there is an entry for each customer and carrier included in the database. Update the 'Quota' field of a record to set a limit for a subscriber. When the count in the 'This Month' field exceeds the quota, the subscriber (customer or carrier) is blocked. When a subscriber is blocked his corresponding entry in the 'Customers' or 'Carriers' table has the field 'Blocked' set to '1'. To unblock a subscriber simply update this field with a '0'.

How do I set up a block of DID numbers?

First make a new entry in the 'Profiles' table with the 'Carrier' field set to 'DIDRANGE', and link it to a rate in the 'Rates' table specifying the range of numbers you own. Then you can associate a customer with a number within this range in 'DIDclients'. A more detailed explanation can be found here.

How can I set up customer profiles with prefix dialing?

In the 'Profiles' table, make as many entries with the same profile name as prefixes you want to set. The prefix is defined in the 'Tech_prefix' field and it must have two digits. Each profile should be tied to a different rate set by the 'Rate' field. Customers linked to this profile can choose between different rate set by dialing (prefix)#(called number). Note the rates linked to this profiles will only be available by dialing the prefix.
