NEC Electra Elite IPK II (no date) SMDR setup and CDR format

This page shows how to get call records out of the NEC Electra Elite IPK II (no date) into Advanced PBX Data Logger: the connection settings, the parser to select and the 9 fields the logger extracts for reports or a database. The settings apply to our logger; other call accounting software may expect a different configuration.

Quick facts

Printing Out SMDR Using LAN Port

1. Ensure that the SMDR license is activated on your PBX.

2. Go to 10-12 "Network setup" and specify a static IP address. Our logger will connect to this address.

3. Go to 35-01 "SMDR Options" and set the specified options.

4. Go to 35-02 "SMDR Output Options".

Settings from the manufacturer's documentation

Taken from NEC Electra Elite IPK - smdr reports, Tracer-SMDR-Compatibility-Guide. Values are those stated in the documentation; confirm them against your firmware release.

Switching SMDR output on, as documented

1. SMDR requires a connection using a CTA or CTU adapter, or through the serial port on the Electra Elite IPK II CPUII
2. The LAN port only provides SMDR data through LAN-capable terminal programs such as HyperTerminal, not as a plain raw feed
3. SMDR requires a connection to the CPUII via a COM port or LAN connection; a USB connection needs a USB driver
4. SMDR can be output to up to eight simultaneous devices, one on the KSU COM port and one on the LAN port

Record format notes

• Program 35-01-09 selects date format (NA vs other); Program 35-02-14 switches between two fixed-width layouts (0/1); 35-02-15/17/18 control Caller ID name/number/DID display
• Class/call-type codes documented: POT, POTA, PIN, ALB, BRD, PTRS, IVIN (not IT/OG/IC)
• SMDR call buffer stores 500 calls; oldest data handling occurs when the buffer is full and the SMDR device is unavailable
• A general call-accounting compatibility guide separately lists 'NEC Electra Elite', 'NEC IPK 1', and 'NEC IPK 2' as three distinct SMDR formats with different field character positions

Configuring PBX Data Logger as a TCP client

Our software should work in the TCP client mode. It means that our software will initiate connection with the PBX and the PBX will work as a server. Add one or several PBX IP addresses here (the IP address of the NEC Electra Elite IPK II). The port number should match the port that you have defined within the PBX (60010 in the example below).

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

2. Configure the TCP settings as shown below.

192.168.1.220

60010

192.168.1.220:60010

Data items

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.
