Configuring your SMDR output

For your SMDR configuration, please note that Aastra Intelligate Series has multiple output formats. For TIM Plus, the output needs to be configured to PC5 format.

Below are some screenshots examples of how the Aastra Intelligate should be configured.

OIP Server and TIM Plus

The OIP server has a very basic call logging module. If you are intending on installing TIM Plus along side the OAI server you need to uninstall the call logging module from the OIP server suit. If you do not uninstall this, you will find that if you configure your Aastra to output to the TIM Plus PC, the OIP server will overwrite it with its required settings.

Installing NetPBX

If your Aastra Intelligate has been configured to send SMDR data via a serial connection, you will first need to install NetPBX software to collect the data from the serial port and send it to Tim Plus. For setup instructions, click on the link below:

Install and configure NetPBX

1. Click on the Directory tab.
2. Click on the site configured during the setup wizard and clickProperties.
   
   
3. Within the Site Properties window, select Aastra PC5 from the PBX model drop-down list.
