8. The Data Filters
The Data Filters allow you to make the most efficient use of the VIP's
memory by excluding records (such as inbound calls) that are not needed
for your call accounting application. When the Data Filters are correctly
configured, the VIP will monitor each record received from the PBX.
Records that do not meet the user-defined criteria will not be stored.
The configuration procedure consists of three tasks:
• Define the Data Filter Format
• Define the Data Filter Parameters
• Enable the Data Filter
The VIP features two separate Data Filters. Each filter has its own format,
variables, and storage criteria. When two dissimilar PBX units are
connected to the VIP, this provides a separate Data Filter for each PBX.
Notes:
• When the VIP is connected to two different types of PBX units, it
is recommended to define a separate Data Filter for each PBX.
• A Data Filter that is defined for one PBX may not function with
another type of PBX. For example, a Data Filter defined for
the PBX connected to Port A, may not function correctly when
assigned to a different type of PBX connected to Port B.
Each Data Filter Consists of a "Format" and one or more "Clues". The
Format assigns variables to individual call record locations; Clues define
the parameters that will be used as the criteria for rejection or storage of
each call record.
