The new CDR outp ut formats are selecte d using System Parameters. PPM 
uses pulses transmitted over the trunk line from the serving CO at periodic 
intervals during the course of the outgoing call to determine call charges.
NOTE:
PPM is only provided by the central office in some countries; in 
p articular, not in the United States.  
Each pulse has an intrinsic value; at the end of the call, the sum of the 
pulses represents the charges for the...

nSpace (one to forty characters) 
NOTE:
The field name for Customized CDR for G3rV1, G3V2, and later 
releases is ‘‘space.’’
The ASCII b lank character is used to separate other CDR fields or to blank 
fill unused record locations. This field defaults to one character length in 
customized record s but can be incremented in size up to forty. The ASCII 
carriage return character followed by a line feed is used to terminate 
customized records.

nVector Directory Number (five digits)
NOTE:
The field name for G3rV1 and G3V2 Customized CDR Records is 
‘‘vdn.’’
This field is only available on the customized record format. The CDR 
record will output the VDN extension number.
CDR Output Devices

port is not used,  additional interface equipment is required as described in the 
Hardware and Software Requirements p art of this feature d esc ription. The RS232 
interface is only available with G3s/vs/i. The G3r must use  a dditional eq uipment. 
The system can support two CDR output devices. One of these devices can use 
the direct EIA-232C connection; the other device will require the a dditional 
interface equipment.
When a system has two CDR...

A 1,200 bits/second rate may only be used over the c a ble for the 
TELE SE ER  CDR  u n i t,  9 4A LS U , o r  printer, if the system line size is less 
than 1,000. If the system line size is greater than 1,000, a rate of at least 
2,400 must be used with the 18-word CDR records. If the system line size 
is greater than 600, a rate of at least 2,400 must be used with the 24-word 
CDR record s.
The time stamp on calls recorded by CDR is applied at...

Interactions
The following interaction discussions assume CDR is activated.
nAbbreviated Dialing
When Abbreviated Dialing or a Facility Busy Indication button is used to 
make or complete a call, all d i gits outp ulsed (up to a maximum of 15) will 
a p pear on the CDR record.
nAnswer Detection
G3 provides Answer Detection using the TN744 Call Classifier circuit 
pack. This feature is assigned as an option per system and requires 
sufficient (8-port) TN744...

node 2 contains AUDIX as the dialed number. If the c alling number is on a 
different switch within the DCS network, or the call comes in over ISDN, 
the actual calling number is recorded in the “Calling Number”  field, and 
the TAC of the trunk bringing the call into the local switch is recorded in 
the “Incoming Trunk Ac c ess Code” field of 24-word record s. If the 
forward ed call is an incoming call, then, as in all cases (other than...

nAutomatic Callback
When the Automatic Callback feature is used for an intraswitch call, no 
CDR record  will be g enerated for the first call attempt or the ringbac k. 
However, if the caller or extension being called is optioned  for intraswitch 
CDR,  a record of the actual call will be outp ut provided the call is 
answered and completed.
nACA 
ACA calls will generate intraswitch CDR if the terminating extension is 
monitored by CDR. The originating...

If a DSI or ISDN-PRI trunk calls a station and the station is forwarded to 
another T1 trunk, the outgoing record will show the station being 
forward ed to the second T1 trunk rather than the first T1 trunk being 
forward ed to the second T1 trunk.
nCall Park
When a voice terminal user parks an incoming or intraswitch call,  that 
user’s extension is record ed as the dialed number in the CDR record. Call 
duration in CDR reflects the entire time...

If a vector interacts with an extension or group that has Call Forwarding All 
Calls active, normal Call Forwarding/CDR interactions a p ply.
Some calls may originally look like intraswitch calls, b ut result in trunk calls 
(for example, a call from a station administered for intraswitch CDR to a 
VDN, which ends up an outgoing call on an outgoing trunk).   Such calls 
will not generate intraswitch CDR records; the CDR record will have a 
condition code A...
