Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)
SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) is a call reporting feature that provides records of call activity. Call reporting information provides you with the
ability to:
Detect any unauthorized calls
Bill clients or projects
Reduce telephone costs by identifying the need to change telecommunications services.
Call reporting information is recorded as calls occur. The system sends the
information via a 300-baud serial interface to either a serial printer or a call
accounting device.
The device connects directly to the SMDR jack on the processor module. The
system records information for each call. See page 3-35 for instructions on programming which calls will be reported. For outgoing calls, the timing begins
when you go off hook. For incoming calls, the timing begins when you answer
the call. Timing stops when the call is disconnected.
Call Reports
A call report is a page of information that begins with a header. The header
includes field names that describe the information in each call record. The call
record is a“ line of information that includes the fields shown in Figure 6-13.
