Notes
In the Avaya Communication Manager (ACM) world, a device on the PBX needs to be specified that the CDR stream towards the logger goes out on. this can be a 'CLAN' card (a dedicated Avaya proprietary circuit back for network connectivity) or, in newer versions of Avaya Communication Manager, it can be 'Processor Ethernet' (the network interface of the code CM server).
As it turns out, in ACM 5.2.1 SP15 and to a certain level also in ACM 6.0.1. SP5 (these were the only versions we tested it on), when using Processor Ethernet for the CDR stream, it is not stable. ACM 5.2.1 dropped it a log (every 30 or so minutes) while ACM 6.0.1 dropped it about once a day.
Moving the CDR stream to a CLAN card fixed it. In ACM 6.2, it seems to be running stable on Processor Ethernet. It seems Avaya made some improvements between ACM 5.2.1, ACM 6.0.1 and finally resolved all issue in ACM 6.2.
