Norstar SMDR, Take 2 1

[peterbokunet]

In thread799-846498 there is the question "4) Is it possible to track incoming calls to DID extensions." The answer presented by senk1s is "Yes." the thread then includes a log record that shows DNIS info. Then in thread799-875560 it also shows DNIS in the excerpt.

Is the DNIS in each of these examples the same as the DID digits that telco is passing off with each call? (I'd think that they are one in the same, but...)

I have a station that answers calls on multiple DIDs and I need to generate a report on each DID that the person on that station receives.

Assume that I have software that currently reads SMDR records from a SMDR4. If I upgrade to SMDR6 and update my parser will I get the digits? Isn't the DNIS in the log just exactly what telco is providing?

MICS/7.1 (yes, the SMDR4 gives me all but the DNIS it seems)

Yes, DNIS is the same as Recvd. Digits. The SMDR will seperate incoming calls by Target Line #, which can be easily converted to DNIS digits.

This may take some time to program with your software. Good record keeping is a must- as Dewey said, the SMDR will send out the target line number. If you want it to record as the number dialed, you'll have to ste that up on your sw.

Thanks! The received digits is exactly what I need. I have a SMDR6 ordered. I rewrote the parser in the opensmdr package off the 'net back when we got the SMDR4 and the rewrite for this should be quick.

I am working on a MICS 6.0 with SMDR6, when I turn on Norstar and realtime I only get records when the call comes in with Caller ID ..... Calls coming in without Caller ID are missed.

I am trying to get realtime info on some 911 trunks but the caller id for those lines comes across a modem from Bell, not on the actual call.

Is there any workarounds for this ???

Thanks
