Privacy
CDR Privacy allows you to administer the system to blank a given number of
dialed digits from a CDR report. This is useful when it is necessary to know
details of a person’s calls for accounting purposes, but it is not necessary or
desirable to know the exact number called.
You can administer the number of digits to hide, up to 7. The value in Privacy
Digits to Hide determines how many digits do not ap pear on the call record. This
parameter is system-wide. Whether or not an individual’s calls receive Privacy
treatment is determined by the CDR Privacy field on the Station form.
When an adjunct-originated call is made on behalf of a hunt group and the CDR
system parameter option is set to group-ext, then CDR privacy does not apply. If
this field is set to member-ext, privacy does apply.
NOTE:
Certain countries have requirements that a certain number of digits must be
blanked from every call. Also, certain report processors do not support this
option.
CDR output
If your system uses two CDR output formats, one is administered as the primary
CDR output format; the other is administered as the secondary CDR output
format. The secondary output format is typically used for a local storage format
(CDRU) to provide CDR data to NCOSS for assessing network performance or
helping to find network problems.
The primary and secondary ports work independently. Each p ort wil l wo rk even if
the link to the other port is down. If a link is down for more than a minute, some
data may be lost. However, the most recent 500 (Release 5vs/si/csi and later), or
1,900 (Release 5r and later) records are stored for the primary port even when a
loss of records occurs. When the link comes back up, these records are output o n a
first-in, first-out basis.
If the CDR buffer is full, you can select a call record handling option to d etermi ne
which of the following occurs:
■Calls are blocked with a reorder tone
■Overwrite old CDR records with new ones
■Calls are routed to an attendant as non-CDR calls
