Adding Accounting Services to the Call Records Service 33
4Enter a unique identifier that you want to assign to the Accounting
service. For instance, if it is a branch office in Joliet, IL, you could use
branchJolietIL as the identifier. There is no name length limit for an
Accounting service identifier.
The Enter Source Address prompt appears.
5Enter the IP address or hostname of the Accounting service you are
associating with this group.
In a multi-site configuration, the Accounting service uses either the eth0
or eth1 network interface and runs on the server that performs call
processing. Depending on which Accounting service you are adding,
enter the appropriate IP address for these servers:
■Regional Office — For the Primary Call Processor Server and
Secondary Call Processor Server, use the IP address assigned to eth1
for each server.
■Branch Office — For the IP Telephony and Messaging Server, use the
IP address assigned to eth0.
The Do you want to use Default Accounting Server Source Configuration
prompt appears. 3Com recommends using the default source
configuration, which identifies where the CDRs are stored on the
Accounting service.
If you enter n
aAt the Enter Source Path prompt, enter the path where you want the
CDRs to be stored. The default is /opt/3com/VCX/acctxml/db/export.
bAt the Enter Source Username, enter cworks.
An asterisk (*) appears at the Password prompts. Enter and re-enter the
password for the user (default username is cworks). The ‘cworks’ in the
bracket after the prompt is not the default password. You must enter the
correct password for the user. If nothing except the Enter key is given, an
empty password is accepted, which is probably not the correct password
for that user (cworks) on the Accounting service.
cAt the Enter Password for Username prompt, enter cworks.
dAt the Retype Password for Username prompt, enter cworks.
The new Accounting service is added to the group. You will see a
SUCCESS message once it has been added.
■If you enter y, the source path defaults to
/opt/3com/VCX/acctxml/db/export, which is where the CDRs are
stored on server hosting the Accounting service.
