Reporting conventions and rules
• Inbound and outbound call records are generated only for calls between a station and a CO line. ESI systems
provide SMDR records only for calls answered by, or originated from, a system extension. ESI systems don’t
provide SMDR records for the following types of calls (except where noted):
– Incoming calls . . .
• To the auto attendant that don’t leave the auto attendant. (Provided only in extended SMDR format.)
• Directly to a mailbox. (Provided only in extended SMDR format.)
• Call-forwarded off-premises (using ESI Presence Management).
– Outgoing calls . . .
• Call-forwarded off-premises (using ESI Presence Management).
• Sent to the auto attendant and forwarded out using go-to outdial branches.
• Generated using message delivery notification.
• The duration of each call record represents the period of time that the station controlled its portion of a call. A
record is generated each time a station does any of the following:
– Disconnects.
– Places a call on hold.
– Transfers a call.
A single CO call could be included in multiple records if it is transferred from station to station.
• Periods when calls are placed on hold or attempts at supervised transfers are unsuccessful are included in the
station's record.
• A new record begins when a station answers an incoming call, a transferred call, or a hold recall.
• Records will be generated independently for all stations in a conference. If more than one CO line is involved
in a conference, each call record generated by that conference will be associated with only the last line
disconnected.
• Dialed digits don’t include the line group or location number.
• Outbound calls begin a call record 10 seconds after the call has cleared toll restriction.
PC interface
Use an RS-232C cable to connect a PC’s serial port to the system’s Maintenance/SMDR port.
Note: SMDR data will be stored temporarily if a laptop is connected for programming (five to 15 minutes after
you exit programming mode, the buffered SMDR data will resume output to the serial port).
