It's not in the webinterface, but you can select the data via SQL from
the accounting.cdr table by filtering on the source_provider_id and/or
destination_provider_id columns. They contain the peering's contract_id
value.

Payment support is not available in the CE currently, as it is not
generally useable. Implementation of billing interfaces is very closely
bound to the billing service provider. There is a PayPal implementation
though which could be of broader interest. But it hasn't been updated
for some time and PayPal changed quite some things in their
infrastructure so I can't tell ATM whether it still works. We're looking
into that for a future release when we think it's a useful extension for
the platform.

We do support this in the system, but it has been temporarily removed
from the CE. It will be included again in the next release.

Again, these parts of the system have limited functionality and are not
generally supported. If you want to have a look at them you can enable
them via /etc/ngcp-config/templates/etc/ngcp-www-admin/admin.conf.tt2 on
your system. They will be enabled per default as soon as we think they
provide a common benefit to the users of our platform.

This also is just a remainder of a prototype implementation for some
Linksys devices and not supported ATM.

Well I guess this is intended, as the ring-back tone should occur only
when the destination device is ringing... Should be possible with a
kamailio config change, like sending a "180 ringing" instead of - or
right after - the "100 trying", the SIP guys around here will know that.

Thanks a lot. As you can see, still in beta status, though. :o)
