Alcatel-Lucent programming software

OmniPCX Enterprise is administered through Alcatel-Lucent's OmniVista management platform or the mgr console on the call server. Both come with the system from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise or your dealer, not from AGG Software. PBX Data Logger only receives the accounting tickets those tools let you switch on.

Reads Alcatel 4400 P records over FTP. The parser is built in - 14 fields extracted.

Reports and a database

Once records arrive, the logger writes them to a text file or to any ODBC database in real time, or hands them to the PBX Reports utility for manual, scheduled and e-mailed reports with a built-in web server. See exporting call log data to a database for the database setup.
