Note that the Aastra Intelligate Series can output SMDR information in multiple formats. You should always select the PC5 format for use with TIM Plus.

Below are some screenshots to demonstrate how the Aastra Intelligate Series should be configured:

OIP Server and TIM Plus

The OIP Server has a very basic call logging module. If you intend to install TIM Plus alongside the OIP Server, you need to uninstall the call logging module from the OIP Server suite, otherwise, when configuring your Aastra to output the data to the PC running TIM Plus, the OIP Server will overwrite some 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 the 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

Configuring TIM Plus

Once NetPBX is configured and collecting data, log in to TIM Plus and perform the following steps:

1. Click on the Directory tab.
2. Select the site you configured during the setup wizard and clickProperties.
   
   
3. Within the Site Properties window, select Aastra PC5 from the PBX model drop-down list.
4. In the Connection method field, select No connection required from the drop-down list.
