Configuring the SMDR output

Enabling the SMDR output

Follow the instructions below to configure the SMDR output in your phone system. These instructions are taken from the Unify OpenScape Business manual:

  1. Log on to OpenScape Business Assistant and click on Setup -> Wizards -> Central Telephony, as shown below:

  2. Click Edit to start the Call Detail Recording wizard.
  3. In the new window that opens, tick the Activate Call Charge Recording to enable the CDR output, as shown below:

Sending the SMDR via TCP/IP

By default, the Unify OpenScape Business phone system send its SMDR output via HTTPS. To send the data via a TCP/IP, follow the steps below:

  1. Log on to OpenScape Business Assitant with Expert profile
  2. Click on Telephony Server -> Basic Settings in the navigation tree
  3. Click on  Basic Settings -> Call charges -> Call charges output format
  4. In the CDR system section, select LAN-TCP-Client  from the drop-down list
  5. In the TCP-Client field, enter the IP address of the PC running TIM Enterprise and the port number you want to use for the SMDR output, as shown in the screenshot below:

Please note the following:

  1. If the system was upgraded from HiPath 3000 using the convert tool, the output format will use ; as a separator
  2. If the system was upgraded from HiPath 3000 but subsequently the database was retyped, the separator will be |
  3. If the system was new, the separator will be |

If the HiPath 3K database was simply converted and not retyped, no change will be required, since both the old and the new database will use ; as a separator. If the database was retyped, the new platforms defaults to a |separator. This is the most notable in a networked environment where the same template must be used.

However, the | separator cannot be set in the new WBM tool and can only be configured using the Manager E, as shown below:
