			The BT Versatility sends Call Logging information via a serial connection. The BT Versatility has a V24 port on the CCU. The connection itself is RJ11 and you will need to purchase a V24 module from your 
			system supplier/maintainer. You need to directly connect a serial cable from the V24 module to the PC that NetPBX/TIM Plus is installed and running on.

<p>The interface to the printer or PC should be serial V24/RS232-C and should meet the following specifications: Speed &ndash; 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 115,200 bps. Data - 8 bits (no parity).</p>

<p>The BT Versatility has an in-built buffer to store the last 500 call records. This buffer can be output to the Serial Port as required. This option is selected in the system programming.</p>

<p>An X-on X-off signal can be enabled which allows the switch to detect if a device on the serial port, which supports X on X off is receiving the data.</p>

<p>Another option allows the last four digits of the dialled number to be masked. This is 'Restricted call logging'.</p>

Configuring your SMDR output

The BT Versatility outputs its SMDR data via a serial port. The default communication parameters for this serial connection are:

  • Speed – 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or 115200 bps;
  • Data - 8 bits;
  • Parity - None.

The phone system has an in-built buffer to store the last 500 call records in case the receiving equipment becomes disconnected. This buffered data can be set to output to the serial port during system programming. An X-ON/X-OFF signal can be enabled to allow the Versatility to detect if a compatible device is receiving its SMDR data successfully. The Versatility can also be set to output SMDR data using restricted call logging, whereby the last four digits of any dialled number is masked out.
