Configuring your SMDR

Below you will find details on how to configure the SMDR output on the NEC Aspire. The programming will need to be done via PC Pro/Web Pro:

  1. Login to your PC Pro/Web Pro.
  2. As the NEC Aspire has multiple ways of sending SMDR data, below are the configuration settings based on each adaptor:

Installing NetPBX

If your NEC Aspire has been configured to send SMDR data via a serial connection, you will first need to install NetPBX software to collect the data from the serial port and send it to Tim Plus. For setup instructions, click on the link below:

Install and configure NetPBX

Configuring TIM Plus

Once NetPBX is configured and collecting data, log on to TIM Plus as usual and apply the following settings:

  1. Click on the Directory tab.
  2. Click on the site configured during the setup wizard and click Properties.
  3. Within the Site Properties window, select NEC Aspire from the PBX model drop-down list.
  4. In the Connection method field select No connection required from the drop-down list.
  5. Click on the Save button to apply the settings.

IP output

Configuring TIM Plus

If your NEC Aspire has been configured to send the data via TCP/IP, follow the steps below to configure TIM Plus:

  1. Click on the Directory tab.
  2. Click on the site configured during the setup wizard and click Properties.
  3. Within the Site Properties window, select NEC Aspire from the PBX model drop-down list.
  4. In the Connection method field select Actively connect to PBX from the drop-down list.
  5. In the Host field enter the IP Address of your NEC Aspire.
  6. In the Port field enter in the port configured in programming code 10-20-01.
