Chapter 6: Call Detail Recording

Establish connection between Tenor CMS and CDR Server

In order to capture CDRs, a connection between the Tenor CMS unit and the CDR server must be established. A Tenor CMS can be configure to connect up to four CDR servers via port 9002, 9003, 9004, and 9005. Based on configuration, the Tenor CMS unit can either establish a TCP/IP session with one or both of these CDR servers. A flow diagram (Figure 6-1) illustrates the general transfer of information.

•CDRServerIPAddr: IP address of the CDR server. (Used when the Tenor CMS unit established connec- tion with the CDR server.)

•CDRServerPort: The application port numbers used by the CDRServer(s) CDRServer(s). (Used when the CMS establishes connection with CDR server.)

•CDRPassWord: Password to be used by the CDR server(s).

•CDRFormat: This configuration parameter command is used to choose which of the possible Call Data

Record output formats you would like to send to your CDR Server: Standard, Standard with session ID functionality, Extended, Extended with session ID functionality, or Extended with Incoming Slot/Device information. Possible entries are 0 (standard format), 1 (extended format), 3 (extended CMS format), 4 (extended CMS format with session ID), 100 (standard format with session ID functionality), 101 (extended format with session ID functionality), 103 (extended CMS format with session ID functional- ity), 104 (extended CMS format with session ID functionality).
