Function 18: Maintenance/SMDR serial port baud rate
The RS-232C serial port (DB9) on the system cabinet provides not only SMDR data but also access to
system maintenance.
Note: The system will buffer up to 1,000 SMDR records (i.e., 80 KB worth) in non-volatile memory when the
RS-232C serial port is in use for programming or uploading (such as during use of ESI System Programmer).
If the buffer becomes full, the system will discard the oldest records.
SMDR
Real-time SMDR call records are continuously output to the SMDR (DB9) port.
1. The system will prompt you for the baud rate. You can change this rate by pressing the scroll keys

Options: 300, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, 19.2K, 38.4K, or (Generation II only) 115K (bps).
Default: 115200

Default: STANDARD.
Maintenance
A laptop PC can be connected to this port for on-line programming (using ESI System Programmer) and
software upgrades. Baud rate settings for Maintenance mode are the same as for SMDR (see “SMDR,” above).
SMDR output
Examples of SMDR output are shown beginning on page K.1. Extended SMDR reports were introduced with
ESI Communications Server software versions xx.3.xx.
