Configuring your SMDR

These instructions should assist in configuring your BT Versatility to work with TIM Plus. If you are not familiar with PBX configuration, please contact your system maintainer.

The interface to the printer or PC should be serial V24/RS232-C and should meet the following specifications: Speed – 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 115,200 bps. Data - 8 bits (no parity). The BT Versatility has an in-built buffer to store the last 500 call records. This buffer can be output to the serial port as required. This option is selected in the system programming. An X-on X-off signal can be enabled which allows the switch to detect if a device on the serial port, which supports X-on X-off is receiving the data. Another option allows the last four digits of the dialled number to be masked. This is 'Restricted call logging'.

			The BT Versatility sends Call Logging information via a serial connection. The BT Versatility has a V24 port on the CCU. The connection itself is RJ11 and you will need to purchase a V24 module from your 
			system supplier/maintainer. You need to directly connect a serial cable from the V24 module to the PC that NetPBX/TIM Plus is installed and running on.
