MAXCS ACC 6.5 Administration Manual
External (Remote) Logging of Call Data
MAXCS allows you to output CDR records to a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database.
Before you enable external logging, you need to set up and configure the SQL database
and external logger application. Please refer to the
CDR Search Manual to learn how to
set up an external logger service.
Note:
The SQL database cannot be on the same server as the MAXCS system. A system
integrator or database developer will need to write a custom query to extract data
from the SQL database.
Note:
You can send reports from a number of different systems to the same database.
Note:
AltiGen does not provide any SQL backup and restore utility. We strongly
recommend that you use SQL Backup and Maintenance utility to perform daily
backup and maintenance jobs, and use a restore utility to restore the database.
If you need to reconstruct the SQL server, run the External Logger Setup to
create an empty calldb database before restore.
Note:
There is no AltiGen license required for external logging.
To set up and enable external CDR login service to the local or network drive, click the
Add button. A dialog box appears.

processing system.

Enable Data Output box in the Accounting Data Processing
field group. Then select an Available Port and the Baud Rate .
