Chapter 6: Call Detail Recording
What is a CDR?
A Call Detail Record (CDR) is a string of data which contains call information such as call date and time, call
length, calling party, and called party. Through the Call Detail Recording (CDR) feature, the
Tenor DX
unit is
able to generate a CDR at the completion of each call. CDRs are collected from multiple
Tenor DX
units
simultaneously and continuously.
A CDR file can be created each day to collect CDRs from each
Tenor DX
that connects to the server. From
this information you can capture billing type data which can be used by separate software components to cre-
ate billing reports, view call records, and generate daily/weekly/monthly statistics reports.
The last 9600 CDRs generated are stored by the
Tenor DX
unit in a circular buffer (this means that any number
of CDRs over 9600 will overwrite the existing CDRs). We advise that you set up a PC or workstation to act as
a CDR server responsible for receiving the CDRs as they are generated (up to four ports can be set up to col-
lect CDRs from the
Tenor DX
unit). The server will be responsible for capturing CDRs via TCP/IP, process-
ing/storing them in permanent memory, and producing billing records. Any CDRs not collected from the
Tenor DX
unit will be lost if the unit is powered down.
The CDR software and Billing software mentioned is 3rd party software, and is not supported by Quintum.
