Features and characteristics
Generating and storing prepaid cards
Automatic generation of prepaid cards in a total random method
Automatic generation of serial numbers for Internet cards
Printing the generated prepaid cards
Announcing the remaining credit of a user
Complete reports of user connections received via Web
Defining different calculation routines for user consumption, such as:
Limiting the user connect time to a specified time interval of day
Two-priced system (day and night with different price rates)
Limiting the user to use a specific set of carriers
Limiting the number of simultaneous sessions of a user
Consumption calculation of the ITSP on different carriers
Simultaneously working with a number of carriers (Multi-carrier)
Limiting the user to use a specific carrier
Using the Carrier A for a set of countries and using the Carrier B for another set of countries. The toll for a call to country X via carrier A might be cheaper than calling via Carrier B and for a call to country Y via carrier B might be cheaper than calling via Carrier A. With this facility the calls made to country X could be set in a way to go through Carrier A and the calls made to country Y through Carrier B.
Importing carrier information from a text file
Using the program on all standard devices complying with Radius such Cisco router and Tenor
Merging with ISPUtil so that a common database could be used for both Internet and Phone-2-Phone services
In this way you could manage the Internet and Phone-2-Phone users by single software
Using SQL Server database
Strong monitoring including:
Viewing network servers status
Defining and viewing different graphs concerning the workload of the network
Viewing online users status
Viewing resellers users status
Viewing network servers status using different statistical graphs remotely. As the amount of data transfer between VOIPUtil and the programs Engine is low, monitoring could be done via a dialup connection.
Event viewer
Statistical graphs concerning the workload of network lines
Online disconnection or disabling a user in case of no credit
Sending alert messages to users E-mail automatically
Supporting Virtual ITSP or Reseller definition, in a way that the agent (virtual ITSP) can act as a real ITSP
Consumption calculation of a user since his first connection
Different access levels and permissions could be assigned to the operators (permission management)
Imposing limits on operators when accessing different parts of program like creating new users, deleting users, access via web, reconfiguration of the program, accessing the monitoring section of the program and
Applying limitations to users using a specified service or belonging to a specific reseller to a specific set of ports; this facility eases the grouping of different rotary services
Powerful compound statistical reports could be generated via Web
Statistical graphs concerning the work load of telephone lines at different hours
Report definition and reuse of predefined reports
User-friendly and easy to use interfaces
Facilities related to Virtual ISP (Reselling)
All of the facilities used by resellers users defining new users
Modification of user information
Recording user payment lists
Viewing online users (its own users)
Online compound statistical reports

Note: The interesting point is that a percent of user's consumption is related to ITSP and another percent of it to the reseller.

For example suppose that an ITSP has received 1000000 Rials and has sold its
Phone-2-Phone services to its resellers with a discount of %20 and the reseller could sell 1200000 Rials of service and gain 200000Rials.
This reseller could sell these services in ways and prices that he desires. This reseller could also define users via web. It is obvious that if a reseller uses all his credit neither him nor his users cannot connect to the network.

Imposing limitations on ports
Using this program you could dedicate one or more ports to one or more users. You could dedicate one port to one user or dedicate a number of ports to a group of users which use a specific service or users who are members of a specific group.

Batch facilities
VOIPUtil provides you with batch processing of groups of users, here are some examples:
Deleting a group of users
Charging a group of users with an amount of credit
Reducing the credit of a group of users
Adding a new service to a group of users
Deleting a service from a group of users
Changing user passwords of a group of users
Changing the reseller of a group of users
Disabling or enabling a group of users

Variation of accounting services and scripts used for user limitation
Our company has provided these services to match your needs but whenever you need a new type of service which is not available in the software we will provide it for you.

Here are some of the cases you could define in your services are:
Imposing limits based on parameters of time
Two-priced services in different time intervals
Disconnection of a user when its idle timeout is reached
Limiting the amount of usage time of a user in each session
Defining the program reaction to different events
Safe and easy backup generation
One of the important features of this software is its backup facility which covers the whole database. As all of the user information (even passwords) is stored in the database, a daily backup routine could be performed. Even if the program is dependant on NT and Windows is lost all of the users could be exported using the backup copy of the database.

Facilities on the Web

A)Facilities for users:
Modification of password
User connection reports in a specified time interval
Users daily consumption reports in a specified time interval
User payment reports in a specified time interval
B)Facilities for network administrators
Access to all user facilities
Defining new users
Modification of user information
Defining different classes for users
Recording user payment lists
Viewing online users
Online compound statistical reports
Full report of carrier status
C)Facilities for agents

All of the facilities used by network administrator (among its own users) such as:
Access to all user (its own users) facilities
Defining new users
Modification of user information
Recording user payment lists
Viewing online users (its own users)
Online compound statistical reports

Program reports
The programs set of reports is comprehensive and provides the network administrator with lots of facilities. These reports could be filtered in three levels and then by choosing the type of report they are viewed. To facilitate the work even further the user could define its own reports with the following levels:

Filter levels:
A) Group filters

All of the users, a specific group of users, a specific number of users, a specific user, a specific agents users, all of the agents, a specific agent and a list of specific users.

B) Compound filters

Online users, users using a specific class for their calculations, users using a specific IP class, users who have not connected since n days ago, users who have been created in the last n days, users who have connected for the first time since n days ago, active users, inactive users, users whose credit fall into a specific range.

C) third level: User connection filters

Connections made through a specified server, Connections made through a specified
set of ports, Connections made using a specified set of IP addresses, Connections
made in a specified time interval of a day.

Types of report
The different types of report based on filtered information contain:

Statistical report based on the information, information list, general report of each user, general report of each server, general report of each IP, general report of each port, general report of each group, general report of each accounting class and general report of each IP class.
In addition, all of the mentioned reports above could be generated periodically (daily, monthly or annually).

Compatibility
This software is compatible with different versions of Win NT either 4 or 2000 and it could manage different hardware and software routers online.
