Configuring your SMDR output

The Avaya IP Office can be configured to accept an incoming TCP connection, in order to output its SMDR data. Using the Avaya IP Office Manager application, perform the following steps to configure the SMDR output:

1. Log in to your Avaya IP Office unit using the Avaya IP Office Manager.
2. Click on System from the left-hand menu and select your Avaya IP Office unit.
3. On the right-hand side, click on the CDR/SMDR tab.
4. From the Output drop-down menu, select SMDR only. The SMDR section will now become active at the bottom of the page.
5. In the IP Address field, enter 0.0.0.0.

6. In the TCP Port field, enter the port number that you want your SMDR data to be sent to. You can use any free TCP port, but we would recommend one in the 9000 range. 

7. In the Records to Buffer option, increase the value to the maximum available.

8. Check the Call Splitting for Diverts option.

9. Click on the OK button, then save and merge the configuration for the settings to take effect.
