CDR's via Hyperterminal?

[tomcheshire]

Hi All,

I have a Meridian 1 system that has previously been connected to a Tabmicro 'box' to collect data in order to bill internal clients for their usage. The Tabmicro box and software is out of support and has broken. I'm wondering if their is a cheap way that I could collect CDR's from the PBX for a few months while we implement a new system?

I heard that it might be possible to connect a PC directly to the serial port on the PBX (which is currently connected to the Tabmicro) and this would provide raw CDR's in a hyperterminal window which I could then run through our billing platform? I tried to see what data was output but default hyperterminal settings didn't work - the output was garbage, does anyone know the correct settings? and if this is a potential short term solution?

Many thanks for reading,

Tom

It should be an easy decision. Either you process it manually, or you buy an application (replace Tabmicro) made just for that purpose.

Hi again,

I wonder if anything from this site would be of use to me?

To turn the raw output into something more useful?

Kind regards,

Hi folks:

I'm trying to get a sample of this reports, my concern is how to obtain the raw data for CDR only thru hyperterminal, how should I configure it in order to get it?
where I can see the information collected?
I know it's better to have a PC, or collection thru Procomm, but for this moment, I only require an example and how obtain this information

Can you help me?

Hi Beauty,

The HT settings that worked for me where:

1200 7 none 1 none

Give these a try!

Tom

You could do something sneaky and contact a vendor and ask for a trial. The only one I know is ISI Telemangement Solutions. I am sure there are LOTS of them out there
