Samsung iDCS 500 SMDR setup and CDR format

This page shows how to get call records out of the Samsung iDCS 500 into Advanced PBX Data Logger: the connection settings, the parser to select and the 13 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

Record format notes

• Tracer's Samsung iDCS 500 record format has Extension at columns 6-9, Trunk ID at 16-19, Date at 21-25, Start Time at 27-31, Account Code at 67-80 and Name at 99-114, and supports multiple records per call; Extension, Trunk ID, Date and Start Time are all required.
• A generic Samsung DCS/iDCS/SKP family report layout is T EXT AUTH TRK MM/DD STT.TIME DURATION FG DIALED_DIGIT ACCOUNT_CODE CID/ANI_NUMBER CID/ANI_NAME, matching the tenant/extension/trunk/date/time/duration/flag/dialed-number shape of this page's own sample.

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 Samsung iDCS). The port number should match the port that you have defined within the PBX (5100 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

5100

192.168.1.220:5100

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.
