Yeastar P-Series call accounting – costs per extension

Q: I run Software Edition on the same server where I want Tarifon.

Both use port 8088 by default; change Tarifon's port in config.json (for example ":8090"). Hardware PBXs and the cloud are not affected.

What Yeastar will not tell you about calls

The Yeastar P-Series (P520 to P570, Software Edition and cloud alike) has decent call reports, but they lack what the accountant needs: the price of a call at your carrier's tariff, subtotals per cost centre and the separation of private calls. Tarifon is a call accounting program for Yeastar that connects over the official API of the PBX and runs on an ordinary Windows PC in the office.

How Tarifon connects to Yeastar

Over the OpenAPI of the PBX. Besides the calls, Tarifon also loads the list of extensions with their names and the list of trunks – you retype nothing. The API can also hand over older calls, so after deployment you have history for the months you choose, and after a connection outage the missing calls are re-imported. It works with hardware PBXs, with the Software Edition and with Yeastar Cloud.

What you get beyond the reports in Yeastar

The price of every call at your carrier's tariff including VAT, rounding as on the invoice, free minutes and flat rates – separately for VoIP, a GSM gateway and the fixed line.
Billing per extension and department with a monthly Excel report that arrives by e-mail automatically.
Marking private calls with one click and a separate report for payroll.
Limits per extension with a warning at 80 % and 100 %.
Protection against PBX toll fraud – six rules watch calls to premium-rate and satellite numbers, night traffic and unusual call volume, send an e-mail within minutes and block the suspicious extension automatically.
Finding any call by number, extension or date – even six months back, including who picked it up.

Setup step by step

In the PBX open Integrations → API, enable the API and create a client – you get a Client ID and a Client Secret.
Add the address of the computer running Tarifon to the list of allowed IP addresses.
In the Tarifon wizard choose Yeastar P-Series and enter the PBX address (on the LAN, port 8088 over HTTP by default; the cloud over HTTPS), the Client ID and the Secret. If you pick the wrong one of HTTP/HTTPS, the connection test tells you which way to switch.
Load your carrier tariff, assign trunks to tariffs and extensions to departments – the extension names are already loaded from the PBX.

Frequently asked questions about Yeastar

Do you support the S-Series as well?

Not yet – the S-Series has a different API. If you have one, get in touch and we will look at it.

The PBX has its own certificate and Tarifon rejects it.

Turn on „do not verify the certificate“ in the wizard – on a local network that is normal.

I run Software Edition on the same server where I want Tarifon.

Both use port 8088 by default; change Tarifon's port in config.json (for example ":8090"). Hardware PBXs and the cloud are not affected.

What if the connection drops?

Tarifon re-imports the calls over the API, leaving no gap in the history.

What does it cost?

A perpetual licence from €249 for up to 24 extensions, with no monthly fees; 30 days free in the full version.
