How to use the NANP.INI file.
Topic creation date: 2008-05-09
This topic deals with the North American Numbering plan.
The NANP.INI file contains settings for use with the North American Number Plan Costing System from International Databases here after called the 'Coster'.
All of the settings in this file have defaults, which are shown in the example file below. Generally most options are tuned to either off or the most likely and useful result. The Coster has the ability to export data about the calls that have been costed, and provide a mechanism for running exception reports on call costs.
There are 4 sections, System, Price, Open and CallType.
[System]
Topic creation date: 2008-05-09
The items in this section are concerned with loading the correct files in the costing system.
SSPCostDLLFileName
Topic creation date: 2008-05-09
Used by: Client and ServerSV.
Version 2.12.1 onwards
Max length: 128 characters
Example:
Topictittle = "Netwiz_NANP_SSPCost.dll"
SSPCostDLLFileName is use to provide an alternative name for the coster DLL. If not present the default value is "SSPCost.dll"
GenerationNumber
Topic creation date: 2008-05-09
Used by: Client and ServerSV.
Version 2.12.1 onwards
Max length: 3 digits
Example:
GenerationNumber = "000"
The coster may be supplied with the file names incremented by a generation number with each update. Setting the generation number here allows MonTel to know which one is relevant. The default is "000". The generation number is appended to the SiteCostingSystemKey (from the [License] section of the PABX.INI file) to form the base name of the coster data files. In many sites this will be the default of "000".
