<h2>Configuring your CDR</h2>

<p>By default, the Avaya Meridian Option CDR output is disabled. You will need to 
speak to your system maintainer to have this enabled. They will need to
 enable CDR output for incoming, outgoing and internal calls. In 
addition to this for incoming calls they will need to enable CLI 
information, DNIS information, response time information and abandoned 
calls.</p>

<p>You will need to configure one of the 'TTY' ports on the Avaya Meridian Option Series to output CDR information. You will then need to connect the serial cable from the 'TTY' port to the PC that NetPBX is installed and 
running on.</p>

<p>The sections below document where to go to. Required entries are highlighted.</p>
