Configuring the SMDR output

The Mitel MiVoice Office 470/Aastra Intelligate Series can output SMDR information in multiple formats. You should always select the PC5 format for use with TIM Enterprise.

The screenshots below display how the Aastra Intelligate Series should be configured:

OIP Server and TIM Enterprise

The OIP Server has a very basic call logging module. If you intend to install TIM Enterprise 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 Enterprise, the OIP Server will overwrite some of the required settings.

Installing NetPBX

If your Mitel MiVoice Office 470/Aastra Intelligate has been configured to send SMDR data via a serial connection, you first need to install the NetPBX software to collect the data from the serial port and send it to TIM Enterprise. For setup instructions, click on the link below:

Install and configure NetPBX
