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  port, but for older units you might need to purchase a module.

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

See table below for a summary of data output from Alcatel 4200-4400e:
