Configuring the SMDR output

By default, the Skype for  Business phone system writes its CDR data to a MSSQL database called LcsCdr. In order for TIM Plus to connect to the database and collect the call logging data, a Windows or SQL authenticated login will have to be created to allow access. Contact your system maintainer if you are not familiar with this procedure.

The following information is required for TIM Plus to connect to the LcsCdr database:

  • IP address or hostname of the SQL Server where the LcsCdr database resides.
  • Username and Password of the LcsCdr database.

Setting up a DSN connection

To enable TIM Plus to work with your Skype for Business phone system, you first need to set up a DSN connection by following the steps below:

  1. Open Windows Control Panel and select the Administrative Tools icon

  2. Double-click on the Data Sources (ODBC) icon to open the ODBC Data Source Administrator window

    For a 64 bit system, access the ODBC Data Source Administrator from the following location C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

  3. Click on the System DSN tab
  4. Click on the Add button
  5. Select SQL Native Client from the driver list and click Finish.
