When an adjunct-originated call is made on behalf of a hunt group and the CDR
system parameter option is set to
group-ext, then CDR privacy does not apply. If
this field is set to
member-ext, privacy does apply.
NOTE:
Certain countries have requirements that a certain number of digits must be
blanked from every call. Also, certain report processors do not support this
option.
CDR output
If your system uses two CDR output formats, one is administered as the primary
CDR output format; the other is administered as the secondary CDR output
format. The secondary output format is typically used for a local storage format
(CDRU) to provide CDR data to NCOSS for assessing network performance or
helping to find network problems.
The primary and secondary ports work independently. Each port will work even if
the link to the other port is down. If a link is down for more than a minute, some
data may be lost. However, the most recent 500 (Release 5vs/si/csi and later), or
1,900 (Release 5r and later) records are stored for the primary port even when a
loss of records occurs. When the link comes back up, these records are output on a
first-in, first-out basis.
If the CDR buffer is full, you can select a call record handling option to determine
which of the following occurs:
■ Calls are blocked with a reorder tone
■ Overwrite old CDR records with new ones
■ Calls are routed to an attendant as non-CDR calls
The following information applies to the port used for the secondary CDR output
device:
■ Data going to the secondary port should be the same as that going to the
primary port. You can use the following record types for secondary output:
LSU, Int-Direct, Int-Process, and Unformatted.
■ If the system experiences problems in sending records to the primary CDR
Output Device, the system discontinues sending records to the secondary
port for 2 minutes. The secondary port should be run at the highest possible
speed in order to prevent loss of information.
■ If the output buffer is full, the system busies out the secondary port for 2
minutes. This makes system resources available to send data to the primary
CDR port before the data is lost. The system continues to busy out the
secondary port for 2-minute intervals until less than 400 records (1800 for
Release 5r and later) remain in the buffer.
