Communication channel

Communication channel

The Communication channel identifies the exact method used for routing a VoIP call to the external telephone number.

It can be used for:

associating to a CDR its Communication channel type
associating to a CDR the Vendor responsible of the routing
as condition to use during rating of a CDR

Usually there can be many communication channels, but few Vendor and Communication channel type.

The usual Asterisell rating workflow is:

import CDR from a CDRs provider
associate to the CDR the Communication channel
use it for deriving the corresponding Communication channel type and Vendor
use this information for rating the CDR
