There is a simple and cheap way to do CDR / SMDR on the NEC. I had Tapit, and hated it. If you need fancy reports, this might not be for you. If you just need it for auditing, this might be just what you need.
I do this method, and it works great for me!
Here is the basics of it:
(1) Setup your SMDR on the NEC to dump to "LAN" port 6000.
(2) Use Putty and telnet to port 6000.
(3) Setup Putty to write to file.
I use a scheduled task to restart putty at Midnight to start a new file.
So in PuttyPlus I created a profile called "NEC-MAIN" with the following parameters
IP is set to IP of my NEC, Telnet, port 6000.
Session Logging: All Output, Always Append to the end of it, and the log file name is "&Y_&M_&D.log" (variables set the name of the log files such that you can sort them by YEAR/MONTH/DAY).
So when it writes the file, the filename is something like: 2017_11_02.log
To have separate files for each day, you'll need to restart Putty. I used Windows task scheduler for this.
In my scheduled task, I have 2 actions:
Start a Program: taskkill /f /im puttyplus.exe (kills putty)
Start a Program: c:\puttyplus -load nec-main (nec-main is the name of the Putty profile I created in Putty) (starts putty and generates a new file)
For viewing the files, I like to use Notepad++ - a lot cleaner looking than Windows Notepad.
Enjoy!
I would like to know if you find this helpful, so please leave feedback!
