These instructions help you configure your Cisco UCM to work with TIM Enterprise. Contact your system maintainer if you are not familiar with the configuration of your PBX.

Configuring the SMDR output

This version of the Cisco UCM stores its call records in a Microsoft SQL Server database. However, by default, this functionality is not enabled. To enable it, the following settings must be configured on the Publisher using the Service Parameters configuration window:

• CDR Enabled
• CDR Log Calls With Zero Duration Flag
• Call Diagnostics Enabled

This version of the UCM outputs its call records to a table named CallDetailRecord in a database entitled CDR. Rather than have TIM enterprise read and remove CDRs from the live CallDetailRecord table, we recommend you replicate this into a second table - leaving the original intact - so that it may be used by other applications that require it. Normally, there already exists a SQL User with the following credentials:

• Username: CiscoCCMCDR
• Password: dipsy

To set up replication you may need to speak to your database administrator or your Cisco UCM maintainer. Ensure that the SQL user described above has full access rights to this replicated table. 

You need to know the following information in order for TIM Enterprise to be able to connect to the Cisco UCM CDR database:

• The IP address or hostname of the Microsoft SQL Server database located on the Publisher node.
• The username and password to connect to the CDR database.
