CIX Network SMDR

System Availability: All systems

Distributed Network SMDR for Systems in a Strata Net Network

An external Strata Net call will generate a call record at the terminating node for that call. Transit nodes will not generate records. The records can be stored in customer-supplied external buffers at each node. Third-party polling call accounting software can gather and organize the data from multiple nodes. Local buffering provides survivability in the event of network disruption.

Centralized SMDR for Systems in a Strata Net Network System Availability: All systems

The SMDR information from each Strata CIX system, connected over a TCP/IP Strata Net network via the CIX processor LAN interface jack can be sent to a Centralized SMDR system. Separate SMDR equipment is not required at each node.

Dealer supplied third-party Call Accounting software can be located on a single Call Accounting Server that can receive SMDR call data from each Strata CIX node. Users having dealer supplied Call Accounting client software can retrieve reports from the server from any location.

SMDR RS-232 interface (BSIS) continues to remain an SMDR interface option; so customers that use Call Accounting software that only supports RS-232 interface can continue to use it with Strata CIX Release 4.1.
