Configuring your SMDR
Below you will find instructions on how to configure the SMDR output via serial or TCP/IP. These instructions are taken from the Alcatel OmniPCX Office manual:
Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office Communication Server supports two types of call metering:
- V24 metering supports V24 printing for all call metering tickets.
- IP metering supports IP printing for call metering tickets originating from a 3rd party application (Business or Hotel) via an IP connection.
The type of metering must be specified when the Office Link driver is installed. The driver can be installed in one of two modes: hotel or metering. You can use the OMC Counting function to specify the type of call metering for hardcopy printouts.
To set printing options for call metering tickets, please follow the steps below:
- Open the Counting function window in the OMC console and select the tab.
- Select the metering type from the drop-down box:
