Matrix Eternity CDR and SMDR report formats: setup

This page covers the Matrix Matrix Eternity and Matrix Eternity (Report) variants in Advanced PBX Data Logger. Each section gives the connection settings, the parser to select and the fields the logger extracts for reports or a database; where the setup steps are the same for every variant they are given once. The settings apply to our logger; other call accounting software may expect a different configuration.

Connecting the logger

All variants on this page use the same connection settings; the steps below apply to each of them.

Configuring Advanced PBX Data Logger as a TCP server

Advanced PBX Data Logger should be configured to the TCP server mode and listen on 0.0.0.0:514 (see below). The IP address 0.0.0.0 allows receiving data from all network connections on your computer. The port number should match the value from the SMDR settings in your Matrix Eternity.

1. Add a new configuration with the TCP data source (if you didn't it before).

2. Configure the TCP settings as shown below.

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.
