ADMINISTERING SMDR (STATION MESSAGE DETAIL RECORDING) OPTIONS
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) enables your business to keep records
of incoming and outgoing calls. To use this feature, you need an SMDR Module in
the control unit and a 1200-baud printer with an RS-232-C interface connector. Before
administering SMDR, please read the following information.
SMDR gives you information in a call report. This is a report of outgoing and
incoming calls which is printed automatically as the calls occur. The report in-
cludes the date and time of each call, its duration, the line and voice terminal
on which the call is made, and, if the call is outgoing, the number dialed. The
header illustrated below is printed automatically when you turn the system on.

The information in call reports helps you to develop records of your telephone
traffic patterns and identify abuses in phone privileges so that you can use your
system efficiently. If an account code is entered when the call is made, the call
report prints it out for you. Account codes are helpful in billing customers and
different departments of your company for telephone calls that should be
charged to them.
.
The system is set to record only outgoing calls that last 1 minute or more;
however, you can set the system for a longer or shorter minimum duration.
Although the system is also set to record incoming calls, you can set the system
not to record them.
