Configure CDR

This procedure describes how to set the configuration options in CDR Configuration Menu. If you perform this procedure when you set up CDR for the first time, you do not have to do it again unless you need to change a setting.

Note: If you want to reduce the number of CDR records stored, you must first stop CDR if it is running.

To configure CDR:

  1. From the Main menu, select (R) Reports and then (A) Call Detail Recorder and then (A) Configure Menu.  

  2. Select (A) Configure Menu.

  3. Do one of the following:

  1. Select (E) Call Types and enter one of the following:

  1. Select (F) Max number of CDR msgs and enter a number of CDR records (messages) to store (1-999999).

  1. Select (H) Max delay to write CDR records to disk and enter the delay in seconds (10-600). CDR records are buffered as they come in, and written to disk as the buffer fills.  The larger the delay, the fewer disk write operations are performed. This increases the possibility that you could lose some data in the event of a server failure. It is recommended that you not reduce this parameter below the default of 180 seconds.

  2. Exit the CDR configuration menu to save your choices. If you reduced the number of CDR messages stored, you must Delete CDR messages first.
