SMDR & PRI

[havonasun]

Just a sanity check. I know that NEC doesn't waste any ink in their manuals, so I've gotten pretty used to taking them at face value. In the IPK F&S v4, page S-17(790), it says CO/PBX calls. Am I correct in assuming that SMDR will NOT log calls in/out on a PRI? If so, then that is pretty lame.

Remember that CO stands for Central Office. Where do you think the PRI is connected to? I don't work on these but that would be my take on the wording!

 

[havonasun]

Yep, knew that. NEC is usually referring to a COI card circuit when they say CO. I'm just having a hard time believing that, as popular as PRI's are, that there isn't a call record in smdr for it.

I would assume it is their way of saying it does not log intercom calls. On all of the other NEC systems I have worked on it logged any outside call.

And that's my quandary...Outside World <call> Inside World...no record? See, this is what I meant by NEC not wasting ink. In my experience, if the NEC product can do it, they would print it (albeit in as few words as possible); it would say DID if it could do it. That kind of answers my own question, but what's the point of SMDR if it can't log an incoming/outgoing call?

SMDR will track incoming and outgoing CO/PBX calls. That includes T-1, PRI and POTTS lines. It will not track internal station to station calls. For that you will need an NEC IPS or IPX system.
