NEC Topaz SMDR setup and CDR format

This page shows how to get call records out of the NEC Topaz into Advanced PBX Data Logger: the connection settings, the parser to select and the 12 fields the logger extracts for reports or a database. The settings apply to our logger; other call accounting software may expect a different configuration.

1. Program 35-01-01: SMDR Options - Output Port Type - choose COM or LAN connection for SMDR output
2. Program 10-21-02: Hardware Setup - Baud Rate for COM Port, required if SMDR uses the EXIFU COM port
3. Program 14-01-06: per-trunk SMDR Print Out enable
4. Program 15-01-03: per-extension SMDR Printout enable
5. SMDR requires a connection to the EXIFU unit via a COM port or a LAN port

Record format notes

• Sample SMDR record with call type, time, line, duration, station, dialled number and cost fields
• Class (call-type) code definitions given: POT, POTA, PIN, ALB, BRD, PTRS, IVIN, IVOT
• Field character-position map given for header and record lines
• RD/COST field meaning: ring duration for incoming calls, cost for outgoing calls
• Number dialled field is 15 digits maximum
• Abandoned/unanswered calls print as NO ANSWER in the ACCOUNT field

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 Topaz). 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

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.
