Toshiba Strata CIX SMDR setup and CDR format

This page shows how to get call records out of the Toshiba Strata CIX into Advanced PBX Data Logger: the connection settings, the parser to select and the 22 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

Settings from the manufacturer's documentation

Taken from toshiba-Strata-CIX-Network SMDR R400, toshiba-Strata-CIX-SMDR, Toshiba CTX CIX-SMDROutput. Values are those stated in the documentation; confirm them against your firmware release.

Switching SMDR output on, as documented

1. In eManager, open Advanced Configuration | System | I/O Device (Program 803) and set Logical Device No. 00 to 100 - SMDR.
2. Set Device Connection to LAN, or select a BSIS RS-232 port 1-4 (RS-232 does not support central/network SMDR).
3. On the LAN Device tab (Program 801), set Protocol TCP, Application Type Client, Data Flow Asynchronous, and enter the SMDR server's Client IP and Client TCP Port No.
4. For RS-232 output, use the RS232 Serial Port tab (Program 804) to set Port Speed, Port Parity, Data Bits and Flow Control to match the SMDR device.
5. To enable QoS reporting per call, in Network eManager under System > SMDR enable 'Record QoS Information' on Program 513 (ILG) FK06 and Program 514 (OLG) FK05.

Record format notes

• SMDR record types: B=aBandoned, N=Normal, S=Start, X=transfer, E=End, I=Initial, T=Time change, A=Authorization, C=Charge Account, M=Charge Conference.
• Each call record spans two ASCII lines terminated by CR/LF; the second line begins with '&'.
• Time stamp field is MO/DD HH:MM:SS and call duration is HH:MM:SS.S (tenths of a second); duration means end-of-call for N/E, start-of-call for S, etc.
• From Release 4.0, network/multi-node installs add a 15-character hex Multi-Node Call ID to columns 74-84 of line two, identifying source/destination/single/tandem node plus a per-call hex call number.
• An optional 'Q' (QoS) record reports jitter/delay/packet loss per SIP call, output when the call releases or the SIP session changes (hold/transfer); format includes source/dest IP and RTP port.

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.
