These instructions help you configure your Alcatel OmniPCX Office phone system to work with TIM Plus. Contact your system maintainer if you are not familiar with the configuration of your PBX.

Configuring your SMDR

Below you will find instructions on how to configure the SMDR output via serial or TCP/IP. These instructions are taken from the Alcatel OmniPCX Office manual:

Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server supports two types of call metering:

The type of metering must be specified when the Office Link driver is installed. The driver can be installed in one of two modes: hotel or metering. You can use the OMC Counting function to specify the type of call metering for hardcopy printouts.

To set printing options for call metering tickets, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Counting function window in the OMC console and select the Accounting Printouttab.
  2. Select the metering type from the drop-down box:  Ext. Accounting Activation IP or Ext. Accounting Activation V24 , and ensure that the associated checkbox is checked.
  3. When finished, click OK.

The table below presents a summary of data output from Alcatel:
