Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
Strata CTX General Description 10/04 93
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
System Availability: All systems
For each incoming, outgoing or tandem call, the Strata CTX can generate a record that includes
details of the call, including the originating station or trunk, the start time of the call, its duration,
authorization codes, etc. If a station user dials “911,” the Strata CTX will also generate a record at
the beginning of the call as part of its internal notification that an emergency call is in progress.
SMDR requires an optional BSIS interface circuit card and a connected Call Accounting system.
Strata Net Multi-system Networking
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
Strata Net is a private networking application based on QSIG, an international standard for inter-
connecting PBXs. Strata Net delivers a rich set of calling features across multiple CTX systems
throughout the enterprise. Users benefit from transparent dialing and simple feature operation.
Advanced networking features include Centralized Voice Mail, Centralized Attendant, Network
SMDR and Station DSS button appearances across all nodes. Alternate Routing provides for toll
bypass configurations and automatic recovery from network disruptions.
Strata CTX systems are interconnected with DS1 (T1) circuits to provide ISDN-type inter-
connectivity. DS1 circuits may be leased from public carriers, derived from Frame Relay or IP
networks, or connected across twisted-pair cabling or fiber optics.
QSIG over IP also provides full Strata Net connectivity and capabilities over an IP network (VPN
WAN, Internet or intranet).
Up to 128 nodes can be accommodated within the Strata Net numbering plan. Up to four nodes
connected in tandem can give satisfactory performance with regard to latency. As with any
network design, transport, delay speech volume and other issues must be carefully considered.
You can set up network DN tables across nodes. Through system programming, you can attach a
node ID to non-redundant DNs, PhDNs and Pilot numbers. This enables someone in one node to
call an extension in another node without having to dial the node ID number. The caller dials the
extension and the system automatically routes the call to the node in which the called extension is
located and rings the called extension.
Coordinated Numbering Plan
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
Strata Net can be configured to allow users to call each other across network nodes with simple
network directory numbers. This eliminates the user’s need for access codes and network maps.
Calls that encounter a busy or unanswered destination can be forwarded to any node in the
network, including a centralized voice mail system or attendant.
QSIG Basic Call Control
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
The Strata CTX conforms to the QSIG standard for Basic Call Control. This is the basis for all
Strata Net connectivity and interoperability with PBXs from other manufacturers. Basic Call
Control provides for connection, dialing, identification of calling and called parties’ names and
numbers and message waiting indications among other features.
Important! Toshiba does not guarantee interoperability with other manufacturer’s products:
only conformance to the standard.
