Log Options

CONNECTION ID

This field is used to correlate all records involving a particular ISDN connection. The field is an unsigned long hexadecimal integer. It begins at zero when the system is loaded and increments by one to 0FFFFFFFF hex, at which point it wraps back to zero. This provides for somewhat over four billion connections before a connection Id is re-used.

DATA RATE

This field indicates the data rate for a B channel. The possible values are 56 Kb, 64 Kb and 384 Kb.

DURATION

This field reflects the time that a connection is active; it is presented in hours, minutes and seconds. The precise meaning varies somewhat for a successful connection versus a call rejection.

EVENT TYPE

This field indicates what type of event the associated message is reporting. The possible values are ‘CONNECT’, ‘DISCONNECT’, ‘REJECT’, ‘SYSTEM UP’ and ‘CDR VERIFY’.

NAS NAME

NAS Name (Network Access Server Name) contains the System Name of the system logging the message.

PHONE NUMBER

On incoming calls this field contains the Calling Line Id of the caller if the information is available (some switches do not provide Calling Line Id). On outgoing calls, this field contains the phone number of the remote device that the system is calling.

REMOTE DEVICE NAME

This field contains the name of the remote device, if available.

SLOT, LINE AND BEARER

This field identifies the slot (or resource), the line and the bearer channel used for the associated connection.

TIME STAMP

The field contains the time and date. The meaning of this field varies depending upon the report.

Connect Event Report Contents

On a connect event, records 1 through 3 are used. The event type is CONNECT. The timestamp reflects the time that the ISDN connect message was received from the switch. An incoming phone number is displayed if it is provided by the telephone switch. Not all switches provide calling line identification. A phone number is always displayed for outbound calls.

The following are example connect event reports:
