Station Message Detail Recording
• Description
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) provides a record of the system’s trunk
calls. Typically, the record outputs to a customer-provided printer, terminal or SMDR
data collection device. SMDR allows you to monitor the usage at each extension and
trunk. This makes charge-back and traffic management easier.
SMDR provides the following options:
•
Abandoned Call Reporting
The SMDR report includes calls that rang into the system but were unan-
swered (i.e., abandoned). SMDR can include all abandoned calls or only
those abandoned calls that rang longer than the specified duration. The
Abandoned Call Report helps you keep track of lost business.
•
Blocked Call Reporting
When Toll Restriction blocks a call, you can have SMDR print the blocked
call information. Or, you can have SMDR exclude these types of calls. With
Blocked Call Reporting, you can better customize Toll Restriction for the
site’s application.
•
Customized Date Format
The SMDR header can show the report date in one of three formats: Ameri-
can, European or Japanese. Set the format for your preference.
•
Transferred Call Tracking
SMDR shows each extension’s share of a transferred call. If an outside call
is transferred among four extensions, SMDR shows how long each of the
callers stayed on the call.
•
Data Call Tracking
Data Call Tracking can log the system’s internal data calls. Since SMDR
normally logs external (trunk) data calls, Data Call Tracking lets you get a
complete picture of data terminal activity.
•
Digit Counting
With Digit Counting, SMDR can selectively keep track of toll calls. For exam-
ple, if the digit count is nine, SMDR won’t include toll calls within the home
area code. Digit Counting permits SMDR to include only the types of calls
you want to monitor.
•
Digit Masking
Digit Masking lets you “X” out portions of the number Dialled on the SMDR
report. A digit mask of seven, for example, masks out all exchange codes
(NNXs) and local addresses. Digit Masking makes it easier to keep track of
calling patterns, without having to interpret each individual number. You can
also use Digit Masking to block out access and security codes.
•
Duration Monitoring
SMDR can include calls of any duration, or only those that last longer than
the interval you specify. If you want to keep track of all trunk activity, use a
short duration. To keep track of only significant usage, use a longer duration.
