Set Options CommandThe MDR accesses the SET OPTIONS command via the system
maintenance terminal. It uses a set of data base variables called screening
options to determine which trunk calls are to be recorded. This set of
variables consists of the following:
(a)Call duration
lb)
(c)Work group number
Outgojng trunk group number
(d)Incoming trunk group number
The set options command is used to change the selection of trunk calls to be
recorded by the MDR. When set via the system maintenance TTY, the
changes are not permanent unless a Maintenance Request 09 is performed
to back up the data base changes on disk.
Two unique sets of screening options exist within the MDR:
(a)Terminal Options. These are used to screen calls that are to be
sent to MDR Port 0.
(b)Remote Polling Devices. These are used to screen calls that are
to be sent to MDR Port 
1.To enter the SET OPTIONS command, the user types in “SET MDR
OPTIONS” or “SE MDR OP” from the maintenance terminal. If MDR Port 0 is
equipped in data base, MDR will respond with terminal options. If MDR Port 1
is equipped in data base, MDR will respond with Remote Polling Device.
The prompting formats for both the tape and the terminal are identical. After
the MDR responds with REMOTE POLLING DEVICE: or TERMINAL:, it
spaces twice and prompts the user with CALL DURATION (O-255 SEC). The
call duration is a timing value specified in seconds that is used to determine if
a call is to be recorded. Only those calls that exist in a valid two-way
conversation for a time period equal to or greater than the call duration value
are recorded by the MDR. If a value greater than 255 is entered, the MDR
responds with INVALID COMMAND and the set options command is
terminated. If the user does not wish to change the present value of the call
duration, the present value must be entered.
Once a valid call duration value has been entered, the MDR prompts the user
for the work group numbers. A work group number is a number assigned to a
uniquely defined set of lines that is used solely by the MDR for screening
calls. The MDR will record only those lines that are members of a work
group listed in the set options of the data base (Tables T4472 or T4482,
Record 
Sl). The maximum number of work groups is 64 (O-63). Member
selection for a particular group is data base programmable. However, the set
options command does not have the capability of changing line members
within a work group. The set options command is only capable of changing
the list of work group numbers retained in the data base.
O-237 
						

							TL-130100-1001
The MDR will request the user to select up to eight work groups at one time
as follows: WORK GROUP #S O-7. The user may then enter any number(s)
from 0 through 7 in any order followed by a period. Once this is done, the
MDR requests the user to select the next set of eight work group numbers as
follows: WORK GROUP 
#S 8-15. Again, the user enters the desired work
group numbers within the indicated bounds. If the user does not wish to
select any of the work groups within any given eight-group bounds, he can
simply enter a period. The MDR then prompts the user for the next 
eight-group selections. The prompting format continues until all 64 work groups
have been presented for user selection.
If a number outside of a designated range is entered, the MDR ignores the
out-of-range number and’ responds with ENTRY XX DELETED. If the user
wishes to enter a new work group number that is in a range of already existing
numbers, the existing numbers must be entered along with the new ones. For
example, if work group number 10 is to be added, but work group numbers 8
and 15 already exist, the user must enter 8, 10, and 15. If 8 and 15 are not
entered along with 
10, work group number 10 will be entered, but work group
numbers 8 and 15 will be eliminated.
When the work group number selection is completed, the MDR next prompts
the user for the outgoing trunk group numbers selection. The MDR uses the
outgoing trunk numbers for call-screening purposes. The MDR will record
only those outgoing trunks that are members of an outgoing trunk group listed
in the screening options portion of the data base.
The prompting format shown as in Figure 6.3 is the same eight-group
selection type of format used with the work groups. The same response will
result for an out-of-bounds selection. The same procedure as for the
addition of a new work group number applies to the addition of a new outgoing
trunk group number to a range of existing numbers, i.e., the existing outgoing
trunk group numbers must be entered with the new numbers, or the existing
numbers will be eliminated from the screening options.
When the outgoing trunk group number selection is completed, the MDR will
next prompt the user for the incoming trunk group numbers. The incoming
trunk group numbers are identical to the outgoing trunk group numbers in
terms of format and usage by the MDR. The only difference is that these
numbers are used to screen incoming trunk calls. A format example of the
incoming trunk group numbers is shown in Figure 6.4.
In order for a call to be recorded on a given 
MDR software port, each of the
following screening conditions must be satisfied:
(a)The call must involve a trunk in a trunk group which is being
recorded by the given port.
(b)If the second party involved in the call is a line or trunk, the
associated line work group or trunk group must be marked for
recording by the given port.

Dump Options CommandThe DUMP OPTIONS command is used to display the current set of
screening options retained in the data base for either the terminal (MDR
software Port 0) or the Remote Polling Device (MDR software Port 1). If MDR
software Port 0 is’equipped in data base, the screening options for the
terminal will be displayed. If MDR software Port 1 is equipped in data base,
then the screening options for the Remote Polling Device are displayed. To
enter the Dump Options Command, the user types in “DUMP MDR OPTIONS”
or “DU MDR OP” from the system maintenance terminal. A format example
for the Dump Option Command is shown in Figure 6.5.

							TL-130100-100163.5Output Formats - MDR Software Port 0The MDR software port 0 is an ASCII port which may be connected to a hard
copy terminal device, CRT, or outboard system that provides downstreamprocessing of the output from this port. Two types of records appear on port
0: call records and time change records. A call-record header is output
preceding the first call record and every sixty-fourth single-line call record
or thirty-second double-line call record thereafter. Every time-change
record also contains a header. See Figure 6.6 for sample call and 
time-
change records with associated headers.
(4Call-Record Format
Refer to Table 6.2 for the Call-Record Format.
(WTime-Change Record Format
Refer to Table 6.3 for the Time-Change Record Format.
(4Termination of Records
Call Records are terminated by a sequence constituted of CR
(Carriage Return 
- OD hex), LF (Line Feed - OA hex) and nine
ROs (rubout - 7F hex). Time-change records are terminated by
two such CR, LF, RO, sequences.

-Line originators are identified by a 
4-digit DN, or a “C” in column 1,followed by three digits if 
3-digit numbering is used.
-Trunk originators are identified by a 
“T” in column 1, followed by a 3-digit
decima! trunk identity. The trunk identity may be decoded by dividing the
trunk number by 128. The quotient is the PEC number and will always be 0.
The value left in the dividend is the relative trunk number and will range
between O-63.
