Call Unit Cost
Description
The cost of the call will be displayed on both the Executive Terminal and the Call Detail Recording
output, see Call Detail Recording (CDR) below for details. The meter unit cost is entered as four
digits in tenths of a currency unit, e.g. if each unit costs 12.4, it is entered as *8 951 0124 #. Note that
this requires the use of a meter pulse detection option card, or Advice of Charge service on an ISDN
line. These options must be enabled by your telephone service provider.
Default
The meter pulses only are counted if a meter pulse detection card is present.

Call Detail Recording (CDR)
The system produces CDR information that can be sent to a serial printer or to a PC. By default, this
information is sent at the end of each external call. A hotel logging option may be enabled which will
store the call logs of specific extensions and output them as a list when required. This feature can
operate if the optional V24 card is fitted and either a PC or serial printer is connected to record the
data. Figure 3-7 shows the format of the CDR output. At midnight every night the telephone system
outputs a header containing a sequence of asterisks to denote the end of each day, as shown below.
Features which dial automatically, such as external call diversion and external alarm notification have
no extension, the output used is 'Dn' or 'An' where n is the exchange line used, e.g. D2. Calls can be
logged at the start of ringing, at the end of a call when the extension hangs up, or both.
To log data using the PC program select the menu option ‘Configuration’ ‘Misc/PC Setup’, then
select the ‘Add’ or ‘New’ option to append data to an existing file or create a new file respectively.
Figure 3-7 Call Detail Logging file Format
Telephone numbers over 26 digits in length are truncated.
If a call is transferred then the call is logged against the extension which originally made (or
received) the call.
The start time and duration of call are measured using the internal real time clock. Note: The
start time is measured from dialling the last digit for outgoing calls and answering the call on
