Install Call detail recording (CDR)
This section provides information on connecting call detail recording (CDR) equipment.
Connecting CDR Equipment
The interface between a DEFINITYan Avaya media server and CDR equipment is a C-LAN card.
CDR equipment connects to the CLAN board on an MCC1 or G650 Media Gateway through a
TCP/IP connection (that is, an Ethernet connection). Any CDR equipment that supports the
Reliable Session Protocol will support a direct TCP/IP connection. A CDR application that
supports an RS232 interface can also connect to the CLAN through a terminal server (see
Install
terminal server
on page 278 for more information on connecting through a terminal server).
NOTE:
A printer or customer premises equipment (CPE) can also be used as the output receiving
device. Please see
Install terminal server
on page 278 of this book for instructions on using
a printer.
Administering CDR Data Collection
NOTE:
To send CDR data via CLAN to a device on the LAN/WAN, you have the option to
enable/disable RSP.
1
Setup the CDR adjunct to be ready to collect CDR data. Record the IP address and the port
number of the CDR adjunct, which could be a terminal server or a CDR application that uses
RSP.
If the CDR adjunct is an application that uses RSP, start the application to listen for a client
connection at the port.
2
Access the Node Names screen in Communication Manager (see
Administering IP node names
on page 288), and do the following:
a
Enter the CDR adjunct’s name from step 1 in the
Name
field.
b
Enter the CDR adjunct’s IP address in the
IP Address
field.
3
Access the IP Services screen in Communication Manager (see
Administering IP services
on page
289), and do the following:
a
In the
Service Type
field, enter CDR1 or CDR2.
b
In the
Local Node
field, enter switch-clan.
c
The
Local Port
field defaults to 0 for all client applications. You cannot make an entry
in this field.
d
In the
Remote Node
field, enter the node name you assigned to the CDR adjunct in step
2.
e
In the
Remote Port
field, enter the port number used by the CDR adjunct determined
in step 1.
