11.3 Call Detail Records (CDRs)
You can configure the HiPath Wireless Controller to generate Call Detail Records
(CDRs), which contain usage information about each wireless session per VNS.
For more information on how to configure the HiPath Wireless Controller to
generate CDRs, refer to Section 6.9.3.2, “Defining accounting methods for a
WLAN Service”, on page 321.
CDRs are located in a CDR directory on the HiPath Wireless Controller. To
access the CDR file, you must first back up the file on the local drive, and then
upload it to a remote server. After the CDR file is uploaded to a remote server,
you can work with the file to view CDRs or import the records to a reporting tool.
You can back up and upload the file on the remote server either via the HiPath
Wireless Assistant (GUI) or CLI.
