<h2>Configuring your SMDR</h2>

<p>The LG iPECS by default has SMDR output disabled. Below you will find 
the programming number codes and the fields that need to be configured.</p>

<h4>SMDR Attributes (PGM 177)</h4>

<p>Within this window you need to set <span class="reference">Info/On-line SMDR</span> to <span class="keyword">Telnet 1</span>.  
This will allow TIM Enterprise to connect to the LG iPECS on TCP port 23 to receive SMDR data.</p>

<p>Below is an example of the <span class="reference">SMDR Attributes</span> window:</p>
