Call Detail Recording
Call Detail Recording (CDR) helps you manage call costs by letting you monitor and
analyze call patterns and usage in your system.
Call Detail Recording features
Avaya IP600 Release 9 CDR includes the following capabilities:
Distinguish voice from data on trunk calls
Determine if a data call used a conversion resource, such as a modem pool
Choose whether to record the vector directory number in the “Dialed Number”
field of the CDR record, or record either the split or the agent extension in the
same field
Allow CDR records to be generated for internal calls (calls to and from a set of
extensions, including data endpoints) so administered (a maximum of 500
extensions in large configurations)
With Call Privacy, allow up to seven digits of the dialed number to be blanked
from the CDR record
Provide CDR call splitting, which allows incoming and outgoing calls to be split
into separate call records in order to track calls that transferred to other internal
parties
Variable format records
Avaya IP600 provides many different selectable formats. This offers a flexible means
of incorporating new fields in the call detail record as new switch features and new
CDR devices become available. The variable format allows you to define a record in
terms of its content (from a set of available data elements), the position of its fields,
and the spacing between the fields. This method can be used to construct the 15-, 18-,
and 24-word standard formats and custom formats.
If calls come in while the CDR link is down and the buffer is filled to maximum,
Avaya IP600 gives you the following administrable call-record handling options:
Block the calls with reorder
Allow the calls to overwrite records
Route the calls to an attendant with the option to proceed as a Non-Call Detail
