Call Detail Records (CDRs)

In addition to the online call and conference history reports, the Polycom RealPresence DMA system generates call detail records (CDRs) for all calls and conferences, which you can download.

The procedure for exporting CDRs and the record layouts are described in the sections that follow.

Exporting CDR Data

From the Call History or Conference History page, you can use the Export CDR Data command to download call detail records (CDRs) for the time period you specify.

To download CDRs

1Go to Reports > Call History (or Conference History).

2In the Actions list, click Export CDR Data.

3In the Export Time Frame dialog box, set the Start Date and time and the End Date and time you want to include.

The defaults provide all CDR data for the current day. Times and dates are in the time zone of your browser.

4Click OK.

A Save dialog box prompts you to select a location for the downloaded file. The default filename is cdrExport.zip, but you can change that.

5Choose a path and filename for the CDR file and click Save. The File Download dialog shows the progress.

6When the download is complete, click Close.

After you unzip the download file, you can open the two CSV files it contains (one for calls and one for conferences) with Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application. The CSV files contain a line for each call or conference during the selected time frame.

The ZIP file also includes a text file that contains a single line specifying:

●The number of calls in the call CDR file.

●The number conferences in the conference CDR file.

●The clusters whose calls and conferences are included in the CDR file.

●The clusters whose calls and conferences are excluded from the CDR file because those clusters were not reachable when the CDR export was generated.

Call Record Layouts

The following table describes the fields in the call records.

Field values are enclosed in double quotes if:

●They begin or end with a space or tab (" value").

●They contain a comma ("Smith, John").

●They contain a double quote. In that case each double quote is also preceded by a double quote ("William ""Bill"" Smith").
