These instructions should assist in configuring your Avaya Communications Manager to work with TIM Enterprise. If you are not familiar with PBX configuration, please contact your system maintainer.

Connection information Description
Connection type IP: The Avaya Communication Manager requires a few changes on the system to get it to output the CDR via TCP/IP. You will find information on the required changes below.
IP Method The Avaya Communications Manager sends the CDR data to the IP address of the TIM Enterprise machine on a specific TCP port.
