Switch-to-Call Accounting Translations
You must assign the link between the switch and the INTUITY, administer the
CDR parameters, and enable CDR for each incoming and outgoing trunk group
that the customer wishes to record. If a stand-alone call accounting system (such
as Xiox) is used, the vendor must assist in setting up the call accounti ng system.

Link Parameters (INTUITY)

The data link between the switch and the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting must
be administered by the Homisco technician when he or she installs the softwa re
on the INTUITY platform.

CDR Parameters (Switch)

Use the change system-parameters cdr command to assign the CDR
parameters on the switch.
Primary Output Format — Enter printer (or the format required by the
call accounting vendor).
Primary Output Endpoint — Do one of the following:
Enter eia if the call accounting system is directly connected to the
switch using the DCE port.
Enter the data module extension if using a switched connection. A
data module must be administered first before making this assign-
ment.
EIA Device Bit Rate — If the output endpoint is set to eia, use the
default of 9600 for the INTUITY Lodging Call Accounting system, and 1200
for the Xiox call accounting system. For other stand-alone call acco unting
systems, use the speed specified by the vendor.
Record Outgoing Calls Only — Unless the customer wishes to
record incoming calls, enter y.
