Creating a CDR User

To enable TIM Enterprise to connect to your Avaya BCM you will need to create a CDR User in the System option of your BCM Unified Manager configuration utility. The Avaya BCM connection requires the DCOM service to be enabled on the machine running TIM Enterprise. Following the introduction of enhanced security in Windows XP Service Pack 2, the username and password for the CDR User  now need to be exactly the same as the credentials of the Windows account under which TIM Enterprise runs.

Installing and configuring NetPBX

To collect the call logging data from the Avaya BCM up to v3.x phone system and send it to TIM Enterprise, you first need to install the NetPBX software.

After the installation, follow the instructions below to set up a connection between BCM and NetPBX:

1. Make sure the CDRServer.EXE and Interop.CDRSERVERLib.dll files are placed in the same folder as NetPBX.EXE, usually located in {pf}\Tri-Line\NetPBX.
