NEC Aspire SMDR setup and formats

This page covers the NEC NEC Aspire (Format2,Date), NEC Aspire V2 and NEC Aspire 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.

Record format notes

  • Class Definitions (call-type codes) documented for the Aspire SMDR CLASS field
  • Additional class codes: ALB (all lines in a group busy), BRD (blocked by Toll Restriction), PTRS (transferred call), IVIN (BRI trunk call)
  • Unanswered calls print 'NO ANSWER' in the Account field in place of an account/cost value
  • When Program 35-02-18 = 1, a long Caller ID name wraps to a second 'NEXT' line rather than truncating
  • With Program 35-02-14 = 0 (no DATE column), fixed character positions are defined for CLASS/TIME/LINE/DURATION/STATION/DIALLED/Account fields
  • With Program 35-02-14 = 1 (DATE column shown, matching this page's 'Format2,Date' variant), the record adds a DATE field and shifts later fields right

NEC Aspire (Format2,Date)

Parser: NEC Aspire (Format2,Date)
Connection: LAN. The PBX accepts a connection on TCP port 60010; the logger connects to the PBX IP address. Port 60010.

Connecting the logger

Add a data source in PBX Data Logger that matches the interface named in the section for your variant (RS232, TCP client, TCP server or FTP), then open Modules → Query Parse Filter → Data query, click Setup and select the parser named there.

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.
