There is a special mechanism to partition the database tables to be separated per month.
- User Database: Groups and Users
Feature:
Groups hierarchy was added to this product for users.
Group has a profile for its users: IP Pool to use, Multilink, maximum loggings per group, maximum simultaneous loggings.
Each user belongs to a group that contains information about his general profiles and can override it.
Remote Access

2. Allow Automatic Callback to Caller ID.
Benefits:
1. Enhance Security and bare the call cost.
2. Control number allowed to be callbacked (avoid long distance charges).
3. Saves time and money for setup and maintenance of all users numbers (trade off with callback extra security).
- CallerID
Feature:
1. Enhance Security and bare the call cost.
2. Define a CallerID numbers per user.
3. Define ID templates with wildcards.
4. Allow Automatic Callback to Caller ID.
Benefits:
1. Enhance Security and bare the call cost.
2. Control number allowed to be callbacked (avoid long distance charges).
3. Saves time and money for setup and maintenance of all users numbers (trade off with callback extra security).
- Concurrent Sessions Control
Feature:
1. Limit the number of sessions a user may have at the same time, on per user or per group basis.
2. Limit the numbers of sessions off all users from a specific group may have at the same time.
Benefits:
