				The Siemens OpenOffice requires TIM Plus to connect to it and collect SMDR data via its 'HTTPS' interface.  TIM Plus will perform 'GET' and 'POST' methods to retrieve 
				the SMDR data. The actual installation of TIM Plus can be anywhere on the network that the PBX is connected to.

<p>For your SMDR configuration, you will need to speak to your system maintainer to enable SMDR output.</p>
