Configuring your SMDR output

The Alcatel 4200-4400e phone system sends the SMDR information via a serial connection. The most recents units will already have a .v24 port, but for older units you might need to purchase a .v24 module.

You will need to directly connect a serial cable from the Alcatel 4200-4400e .v24 module to the PC that NetPBX is installed and running on.
