General PBX properties

All options are described in more detail in the table below:

PBX model	Select the PBX/telephone system you are connecting from the drop-down list provided. Please note that if you added your PBX/Switch when requesting the download, the appropriate interface file (TDT) will have already been provided.
Connection method	Select the method by which you are connecting to the PBX/telephone system from the drop-down list provided.
Host	Type in the IP address of the system you are connecting to. For a listening connection, this is typically left blank although it can be configured to restrict incoming data from a specific IP address.
Port	Enter to port number that the data will be received here.
Username	If a username is required, enter the username here.
Password	If a password is required, enter the password here.
Connection script	Where a connection script is required, you may select from the drop-down list provided.
DSN name	Enter the DSN name here.
Frequency	Enter the connection frequency here i.e. how often it polls the DSN connection.
DB Script	Enter the DB script here. If you are unaware of the DB script required for your particular PBX/Switch, e-mail us at support@tri-line.com and we will provide.

Options

The site options allows you to keep a local backup of data received, timestamp incoming call records and delay processing of call records. These options are explained in more detail below.

Save a backup of any data recieved from this PBX

By default we save a backup of data received from the PBX. This will allow the data to be quickly reprocessed in the event of a fault. e.g. if your database became corrupt and we had to restore the data, these files would be used.

To save a backup of data, simply type the name of the file where you would like the backup stored.

By default the following is provided {app}\backup\backup-{year}-{month}-{day}.{uiv}

The '{..}' represent the system variables which are explained in more detail in the table below:

Item	Description
app	This variable is the installation path for where TIM Plus is installed.
year	This will enter the year the data was captured so that it is easily recognisable later. It can be used to create sub-folders which contain this information or filenames.
month	This will enter the month the data was captured so that it is easily recognisable later. It can be used to create sub-folders which contain this information or filenames.
day	This will enter the day the data was captured so that it is easily recognisable later. It can be used to create sub-folders which contain this information or filenames.
uiv	The UIV represents the unique ID associated to each site.

Timestamp received data

Some PBXs do not give out the date and time with each call records. Although this is quite rare, this option allows you to timestamp all data received.

Binary data

This is only ever used for PBX's/switches that send the data as binary. e.g. ISDX. When th ebinary data option is ticked, we don't add a newline after each data batch we receive. This prevents data corruption.

Delay processing of received data by { }ms

This is used when the switch/network/PC has a really low connection and TIM Plus needs to wait 'X' milliseconds before it attempts to process the data. This is to ensure that all data is received before processing.
