Siemens HiPath 3550 SMDR setup and formats (v1 and v2)

This page covers the Siemens Siemens Hipath-3550 v2 and Siemens Hipath-3550 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

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.

Siemens programming software

Siemens HiPath 3000 systems (3350, 3500, 3550, 3700, 3750, 3800) are programmed with HiPath 3000 Manager E, which comes from Siemens, Unify or your dealer, not from AGG Software. Call data recording is switched on there; PBX Data Logger receives the records.

Reads Siemens HiPath 3550 records. Parsers for both models on this page are built in.

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.
