48.2.1 Configuring CDR Reporting
The following procedure describes how to configure CDR reporting.

To configure CDR reporting:
1. Enable the Syslog feature for sending log messages generated by the device to a
collecting log message server. For more information, see ''Enabling Syslog'' on page
662 .
2. Open the Advanced Parameters page ( Configuration tab > VoIP menu > SIP
Definitions > Advanced Parameters ). The CDR parameters appear under the 'CDR
and Debug' group, as shown below:
Figure 48-2: CDR Parameters in Advanced Parameters Page
3. Configure the parameters as required. For a description of the parameters, see
''Syslog, CDR and Debug Parameters'' on page
717 .
4. (Optional) Disable the inclusion of the Sequence Number in Syslog messages, by
setting the 'CDR Session ID' parameter to
Disable .
5. Click Submit .
Note: If the CDR server IP address is not configured, the CDRs are sent to the
Syslog server, configured in ''Enabling Syslog'' on page 662 .
48.2.2 CDR Field Description
This section describes the CDR fields that are generated by the device.
48.2.2.1 CDR Fields for SBC Signaling
The CDR fields for SBC signaling are listed in the table below.
A typical SBC session consists of two SBC legs. Each leg generates its own signaling
CDRs. Each leg generates three CDR types: at call start (SBCReportType=CALL_START),
connect time (SBCReportType=CALL_CONNECT) and when the call ends
(SBCReportType=CALL_END). CDRs belonging to the same SBC session (both legs)
have the same Session ID (SessionId CDR field). CDRs belonging to the same SBC leg
have the same SIP Call ID (SIPCallId CDR field).
For billing applications, the CDR that is sent when the call ends (CALL_END) is usually
sufficient. Billing may be based on the following:

Call ID (SIPCallId CDR field)

Source URI (SrcURI CDR field)

Destination URI (DstURI CDR field)

Call originator (Orig CDR field) - indicates the call direction (caller)

Call duration (Durat CDR field) - call duration (elapsed time) from call connect

Call time is based on SetupTime, ConnectTime and ReleaseTime CDR fields
