LiveStats | Enables or disables the built-in live statistics as used in call centre applications and which are accessible via the web interface in the form of SSI variables. Can also be set on the tab. | True | |
AlwaysPromptUpdate | Sets whether or not the system prompts the user to update their previous call records when a change has been applied to the extensions or trunks configuration. | True | |
AlwaysPromptNewItems
| Sets whether or not the system prompts the user to save newly-discovered items, such as extensions or trunks, before making changes to the configuration of their extensions or trunks. | True | |
TempFileExpiry | Sets the life of a temporary file. The units are days and may be expressed in fractions of days, e.g. (1/24 = 0.041 is approximate to 1 hour).
| 14 | |

| 09* | |
UseLocationTable | Instructs the system to change the destination of custom dialled numbers as defined in the file. This option enables the use of the tab within Currently does not work with CLI numbers. | True | |
InternationalPrefix | Allows the international dialling prefix to be customised, from the default value. | 00 | |
ShowOnlyExtnNames | If set to , all reports will display only the associated name of an extension, without the extension number. This was requested as a security feature, so that users could not easily determine a DDI number, in order to circumvent non-geographic numbers (NGNs). | True | |
ShowOnlyAccNames | When enabled, shows only account names instead of account numbers, if account numbers are specified. | False | |
GlobalHighlights | The option within the tab highlights any call record in the screen that meets any one of the following criteria: | True | |
TrunkNumberModifier | Allows the user to amend both the extension number and/or trunk number, as taken from the raw call data. By specifying a value for either of these CFOs, the amount specified will be added to the number as received in the data from the telephone system. For example, if is set to , a trunk number originally given as from the PBX, would become .
These options can help when you need to move extension or trunk numbers out of a certain range. The modified trunk and extension values will be stored in the database with the modified trunk number, however, the or local backup files will preserve the original trunk number values as outputted from the telephone system, thus allowing the user to amend the entire trunk range in the future. | 0 | |
ExtnNumberModifier | See for an explanation.

| True | |
SpoolFolder | When this option is present, the system looks for the files in the specified location, rather than the default location If the option is set to blank, the default path becomes the standard path, rather than the root folder, as a security precaution.
| \Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\SMDR\SMDR_Output\ | |
SpoolFiles | When this option is present, the system processes only the named file as a file. Wild cards can be used. | SMDR.CSV
| |
prependCLIZero
| If set to , the system will automatically prepend a '0' (zero) to the CLI on incoming calls. To disable this features, set the option to .
|
| |
LastIncrementalCDR | This option is used in conjunction with and contains a copy of the last call record that the system processed in the folder. This prevents the call logger from reprocessing the entire spool file each time it checks the for new call data.

DefaultSTDCode | Default local area code as defined in . | 020 |
Configuration option | Description | Default value | ||||||
AARemoveCalls | It is used to determine whether or not calls are deleted from the database when backed up, using the Automatic Archive feature; it can take a True or False value. |
| ||||||
ComplicateCallReference | Prefixes the call reference element , identifying similar legs of calls with the from the call record. This ensures that the complexity of each call reference is made more unique, since when call references reset, it is unlikely they do so on the same day. | True | ||||||
ConciseGraphs | It specifies the Y-axis in the Trunk Busy report scales, according to the total number of trunks configured in the software or the total number of trunks in the set of data being reported on. | True | ||||||

HighlightExtn | It specifies a particular (partial) extension number to be highlighted when a call from or to that extension(s) is made. |
| ||||||
HighlightExtnGroup | Specifies a particular (partial) extension group to highlight, if a call is made from or to an extension within that group. |
| ||||||

NDSHost | Implemented Nettel integration into TIM where each call that is processed is sent to Nettel whereupon a decision is made by that server as to whether or not to update its own extension status. This is in addition to TIM's own extension status facility. By having this option enabled, call processing is drastically slowed down, because for each call that is processed, a connection is made to a remote server. | |||||||
NDSPort | The facility is enabled simply by specifying a non-zero value for NDSHost - along with NDSPort - both specifying the TCP/IP connectivity values to the Nettel Data Server (i.e. not the telephony engine). | 8 | ||||||
NewStationUsersGroup | Defines the name of the extension group to which any phantom extensions are added in case station usernames are used instead of extension numbers. | Station Users | ||||||
OverrideMarkup | Used to override any mark-up that is selected when producing a Billing Report. Even if the user sets their own mark-up, this setting will take precedence. Specify as a percentage without entering the symbol, as it is not required. The value used is . For example, if the mark-up required is 32%, the command used would be: Using values less than 100 will result in a mark-down of call charges. |
| ||||||
OverrideSurcharge | Used to override any surcharge that is selected when producing a Billing Report. Even if the user sets their own surcharge amount, this setting will take precedence. The currency symbol id not required to be included. For example, if a surcharge of 65p is required the command would be: |
| ||||||
PieColour | Specifies the colour to paint each segment in any pie charts. The value should be specified in the HTML-HexRGB style, e.g. ff00ff. For the Call Geography report, the # specifies the slice of the pie chart corresponding to its associated dialled number. For example, would colour the slice corresponding to mobile numbers to white. |
| ||||||
RawBackupFile | See above. | \RAWBACKUP.PBX | ||||||
RestartDelay | Specifies the length of time (seconds) the system has to wait, following a request, before it restarts. Increasing this setting allows more time for tasks such as closing the database. | 5 | ||||||
RPCSecurity | Used in conjunction with the Nortel CDRServer connection object, in order to connect to Nortel BCM PBXs. The installation package includes and attempts to register it. If the initial registration fails, TIM will automatically try to initialise the component itself before using it. is used in order to implement COM security, which is necessary for proper functioning on most systems. Further, connection to the BCM is achieved by the IPScript, using the command: , where is the IP address or LAN hostname of the BCM unit. Alternatively, can be used to substitute the IP address of LAN hostname supplied in the application's network set-up screen. The port, username and password fields are not required for connection to the BCM - it requires that the currently logged on user has sufficient privileges to access it via the LAN. | 1 | ||||||
SaveRawBackup | It allows you to store an exact copy of the data sent from the PBX. | False | ||||||
ShowDBMeter | When enabled, displays a database size meter on the main screen with the percentage full in numbers to the right of the icon, in the status bar. The icon will fill with red, as a percentage of the max database size. Default database size is 2Gb. When disabled, shows a database icon with a green tick on top. See also the option. | False | ||||||

|
| ||||||
StartStationUserExtn | Sets the beginning of the range at which the system starts to find a spare extension against which to allocate a Station User. | 9000 | ||||||
StatsFor | Sets a particular extension group to monitor for the Live Statistics function, if enabled. Partial entries are acceptable, e.g. would keep statistics for all groups whose name begins with Admini. The default value indicates that statistics should be collated for all extensions. | * | ||||||
StripDigits | Strip initial n digits from the dialled number. | 0 | ||||||
TCPTimeout | Specifies in seconds, how long the system waits for inactivity on the TCP socket when a remote site sends data to the host; the value cannot exceed 60. | 5 | ||||||
TimeStampData | When enabled, a timestamp is added to each CDR that is received over an IP-PBX connection. This happens before the local backup is performed, so that old data preserves their dates and times. The default behaviour for this feature is disabled, in order to maintain backward compatibility. | False | ||||||
TrackHeaderXXX | If the within a TDT file is set to , this will store the headers in the file as , where is the filename extension associated with the site sending the data. This is to overcome the previous restriction that only one PBX - in a multiple site configuration - could have used the feature in its TDT. This way, each header for any PBX that requires it, is stored separately. |
| ||||||
HTTPAuthPair | A base64-encoded string containing the username and password needed to access the system's web functions. This is no longer used; it was superseded by the function in R157. |
| ||||||
ControlPattern
| Allows lower strength license checking. Possible values are 1, 2 or 3 and relate to the bit-wise settings, as follows:
It is important to only use these features in case of copy protection issues, such as when the user remotely logs on to the machine running the application, through a Terminal Services-type session, which alters volume information. | 3 | ||||||
ControlDrive |
| C:\ | ||||||
DefaultLocalBand | User can localise a particular tariff table to a specific band; | Local | ||||||
RoundNextMinute | Indicates whether a call's duration is rounded up the next full minute, for outgoing calls - for carriers such as OneTel. | False |
