    1267 Call Detail Recording 
    20
    nTime
    This fields contains the time that the call ended, or the time that a user 
    dropped from a multi-party call, if Call Splitting is active.
    nVDN (vdn) — 5 digits
    This field is only available on customized records. The call record contains 
    the VDN extension number. If VDN Return Destination is active, this field 
    contains the first VDN the caller accessed.
    Security
    Monitor call detail records daily for unusual calling patterns, long calls, 
    international calls, calls outside of normal business hours, and other indications of 
    toll fraud. Call accounting systems are available that automatically monitor CDR 
    output for fraudulent calling patterns.
    Considerations
    nDate and Time
    If a time of day is not administered in the system, DEFINITY ECS does not 
    generate CDR records. If the time is changed while a call is in progress, the 
    actual duration for that call is not reflected in the CDR record. Instead, a 
    special sequence of 9999 is recorded in the CDR record to indicate that the 
    call was in progress during a time change.
    Interactions
    nAbbreviated Dialing
    When a user places a call using Abbreviated Dialing or a Facility Busy 
    Indicator button, all outpulsed digits appear on the record.
    nAnswer Detection
    The DEFINITY ECS provides Answer Detection using a Call Classifier 
    circuit pack. This feature is an option for your system and requires an 
    8-port call classifier circuit pack. CDR starts recording call duration at the 
    time the answer is detected by the circuit pack.
    nAttendant Console
    If an attendant-assisted call involves an outgoing trunk, the primary 
    extension of the user who requests attendant service is recorded as the 
    calling number, even if the attendant dialed the outside number. Condition 
    Code 1 indicates the call was assisted by the attendant.

    1268 Call Detail Recording 
    20
    If the attendant allows through dialing, the primary extension of the user 
    who dialed the number is recorded as the calling party. Condition Code 1 
    indicates that a trunk access code was extended by the attendant. Condition 
    Code 7 indicates that a feature access code was extended by the attendant.
    If Incoming or Outgoing Attendant Call Record is enabled, the system 
    produces a separate record for the attendant portion of incoming or 
    outgoing calls that are transferred.
    On attendant-assisted calls that require an account code, the account code 
    must be entered before the trunk access code.
    If the attendant is redirecting an incoming call to an extension, the 
    attendant may dial an account code before dialing the extension number.
    It is not possible to option the attendant for intraswitch calls. Intraswitch 
    records are produced for an intraswitch-optioned extension calling the 
    attendant or for a call from the attendant to an intraswitch-optioned 
    extension. In the case of an attendant-assisted call involving an intraswitch 
    extension, the calling number recorded is the extension of the party who 
    called the attendant, and the dialed number recorded is the extension that 
    the attendant extended the call to. The record has a Condition Code 0.
    nAUDIX
    For remote AUDIX over DCS, if station A on node 1 forwards its calls to 
    AUDIX on node 2, each switch produces a call record. The record from 
    node 1 contains A as the dialed number. The record from node 2 contains 
    AUDIX as the dialed number. 
    If the calling 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 Access Code field of 
    24-word records. 
    If the forwarded call is an incoming call, then, as in all cases (other than 
    vectoring) in which an incoming call is forwarded, transferred, or 
    conferenced using an outgoing trunk, two separate CDR records are 
    produced, one for incoming and one for outgoing trunk usage. The 
    outgoing trunk usage record lists AUDIX as the Calling Number.
    nAUDIX - Transfer out of
    If Incoming Trunk Call Splitting is enabled, and Transfer out of AUDIX is 
    used, CDR generates two records. The first contains the AUDIX, the 
    second contains the transferred-to party.

    nAuthorization Codes 
    Authorization codes are recorded on CDR records provided account codes 
    do not exceed 5 digits for non-ISDN and ISDN LSU formats, or 4 digits for 
    Enhanced LSU formats. On the 59-character CDR International Processing 
    and International Direct records, the authorization code is never recorded. 
    When account codes are dialed, for the non-ISDN and the ISDN LSU 
    formats, authorization codes are recorded on CDR printouts if the account 
    code length does not exceed 6 digits. For Enhanced LSU, the account code 
    length must not exceed 6 digits.
    nAutomatic Selection of DID Numbers
    Incoming calls, if recorded at all, are recorded for the DID extension 
    number, not the room extension number.
    nAAR and ARS
    CDR records contain the following information for Automatic Route 
    Selection (ARS):
    — Fact that an ARS call was made
    — Calling extension number
    — FRL of the calling extension
    — Called number
    — TAC of trunk group used for the ARS call
    — Time of call completion
    — Call duration (how long the parties talked)
    — IXC code, if any
    If CDR is suppressed for the trunk group actually used on an ARS call, a 
    CDR record is not generated; otherwise, Condition Code 7 applies. The 
    ARS access code is recorded in the Access Code Dialed field and the trunk 
    access code for the trunk group actually used is recorded in the Access 
    Code Used field.
    If an AAR call is placed to a busy trunk group and CDR is suppressed for 
    that trunk group, the user hears reorder tone and the CDR output shows an 
    ineffective call attempt.
    If an ARS call is an attendant-assisted call, the CDR record shows the call 
    with a Condition Code of 7 (ARS call) instead of a Condition Code of 1 
    (attendant-assisted call). This occurs because CDR is not notified until after 
    the trunk is seized and, in this case, the trunk is not seized until the user 
    dials the number.
    For FEAC, if a trunk group is accessed via ARS, the trunk group’s COR is 
    not used to determine if an account code needs to be entered.

    20
    nAutomatic Callback
    When the Automatic Callback feature is used for an intraswitch call, no 
    CDR record is generated for the first call attempt or the ringback. However, 
    if the caller or extension being called is optioned for intraswitch CDR, a 
    record of the actual call is output provided the call is answered and 
    completed.
    nAutomatic Circuit Assurance
    ACA calls generate intraswitch CDR if the terminating extension is 
    monitored by CDR. The originating extension for ACA calls cannot be 
    administered for intraswitch monitoring.
    nAutomatic Wakeup
    No CDR intraswitch records are generated for wakeup calls.
    nBridged Call Appearance
    CDR does not record any information on the party who bridges onto a call. 
    Instead, the number that was called appears in the Dialed Number field of 
    the CDR record. The duration of the call is recorded when the last party 
    drops off the call. This also applies for intraswitch calls.
    If the user originates a call over a bridged appearance, the call record 
    contains the calling number of the bridged appearance extension and not 
    the extension number of the original, calling station.
    nBusy Verification of Terminals and Trunks
    An attendant or  user is never required to enter an account code when 
    making a busy verification.
    nCall-by-Call Service Selection
    When a successful call is made on a Call-by-Call Service Selection trunk, 
    the network specific facility used on the call is translated into an INS 
    number and recorded in the INS field of the call record. If a Call-by-Call 
    Service Selection call is unsuccessful because of an administered trunk 
    usage allocation plan, the INS number is recorded in the INS field of the 
    report with a condition code of “E.”
    nCall Coverage
    When an incoming or intraswitch call is answered by a covering extension, 
    the extension number dialed by the originating party is recorded as the 
    dialed number. If a call is covered to an off-net location, the dialed number 
    is the number of the off-net location, the calling number is the number of 
    the station that is covered to the remote location.

    nCall Forwarding All Calls
    When a call is forwarded to another extension, the extension number dialed 
    by the calling party is recorded as the dialed number. If a call is forwarded 
    to an off-net location, the dialed number is the number of the off-net 
    location, the calling number is the number of the station that is forwarded 
    to the remote location.
    CDR generates one record for a forwarded intraswitch call. In this record, 
    the dialed number is the same as the extension dialed by the originating 
    party.
    For a trunk call to a station that is forwarded to a trunk, CDR generates two 
    records. The first record shows an incoming trunk call to the station. The 
    second record shows an outgoing trunk call from the station.
    For FEAC, calls cannot be forwarded to a destination where a user is 
    required to enter an account code.
    nCall Park
    When a  user parks an incoming or intraswitch call, that user’s extension is 
    recorded as the dialed number in the CDR record. Call duration in CDR 
    reflects the entire time the incoming trunk is busy (incoming) or until the 
    call ends (intraswitch).
    nCall Pickup
    When an incoming or intraswitch call is answered by another  user in the 
    pickup group, the extension number dialed by the calling party is recorded 
    as the dialed number.
    nCall Vectoring
    The CDR System Parameters form can be administered so that the VDN 
    extension is used in place of the Hunt Group or Member extension. If 
    administered to do so, this overrides the Calls to Hunt Group - Record 
    option of CDR for incoming Call Vectoring calls.
    Outgoing vector calls generate ordinary outgoing CDR records with the 
    originating extension as the calling number.
    For incoming calls to a VDN, the duration of the call is recorded from the 
    time answer supervision is returned.
    — If answer supervision is returned by the vector (via an 
    announcement, collect, disconnect, or wait with music command), 
    and the call never goes to another extension, the VDN extension is 
    recorded as the called number in the CDR record.
    — If the call terminates to a hunt group, the VDN, hunt group, or agent 
    extension is recorded as the called number as per the administration 
    discussed above.

    — If the call terminates to a trunk, CDR generates the following two 
    records:
    nAn incoming record with the incoming TAC as the dialed 
    number.
    nAn outgoing record with the incoming TAC as the calling 
    number and the digits dialed through the vector step as the 
    dialed number.
    If “member extensions” is administered on the CDR System Parameters 
    form and the call successfully completes to a station via the “route-to” 
    command, the call record shows an incoming call to that station.
    Call Vectoring “route to” commands that are unsuccessful do not generate 
    ineffective call attempt records.
    If a vector interacts with an extension or group that has Call Forwarding All 
    Calls active, normal Call Forwarding/CDR interactions apply.
    Some calls may originally look like intraswitch calls, but 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 - outgoing.
    nCall Waiting Termination
    Call duration timing starts when the user answers an incoming call.
    nCentralized Attendant Services
    If a CAS attendant extends a call for a user, and CDR is not assigned to the 
    RLT trunk group, the user’s extension is recorded as the originator of the 
    call. If the RLT trunk group does have CDR administered, the RLT trunk is 
    recorded. If a CAS attendant answers a call but does not extend the call, no 
    CDR records are made.
    nCO Trunks
    All incoming and outgoing calls on a CO trunk group are recorded, if CDR 
    is assigned to the trunk group and CDR is administered to record incoming 
    calls.
    nConference
    For the purpose of CDR, a call is considered a conference call if it contains 
    at least one trunk that is eligible for CDR plus two or more parties, or if it 
    contains at least one party optioned for intraswitch CDR. Condition Code 
    C applies to each CDR record made for a conference call.

    1273 Call Detail Recording 
    20
    For a conference call, a separate CDR record is produced for each 
    outgoing/incoming trunk serving the conference call. If ITCS or OTCS is 
    enabled, CDR produces a separate record for each internal party on the call 
    as well.
    For the outgoing portion of a conference call involving multiple extensions, 
    the extension that requested outside dial tone to bring an outside party into 
    the conference is recorded as the calling party.
    For the outgoing/incoming portion of a conference call, the call duration in 
    CDR reflects the entire time the trunk is on the conference call.
    A separate CDR record is produced for each trunk used in a trunk-to-trunk 
    transfer. If ITCS is active, the incoming trunk record shows the duration of 
    the entire call.
    If the originator of the conference call is optioned for intraswitch CDR, 
    each time the originator dials a non-trunk party, a new CDR record is 
    started. For example, Station A is optioned for intraswitch CDR and calls 
    Station B. Station A conferences in Station C. Station A drops from the 
    call. Station B or C drops from the call. Two CDR records are output with 
    Condition Code C: one for the A to B call and one for the A to C call.
    If the originator is not optioned for intraswitch CDR, but one or more 
    parties brought into the conference are, one record with Condition Code C 
    is generated for each dialed intraswitch party. For example, Station A calls 
    Station B, which is optioned for intraswitch CDR. Station A conferences 
    Station C. Station A drops from the call. Station B or C drops from the call. 
    One CDR record is output with condition code C for the A to B call.
    Intraswitch conference call CDR records are output when both the calling 
    number (originator) and dialed number (terminator) of the call drop. The 
    duration of the call will be from the time the terminator answers until both 
    the originator and terminator drop from the call.
    If the attendant originates the conference, only the dialed numbers 
    corresponding to intraswitch optioned extensions stimulate the creation of 
    CDR records.
    nDCS
    Station information is not passed throughout the DCS network for CDR 
    purposes.
    nDID trunks
    All incoming calls on the DID trunk group will be recorded if administered 
    to record incoming CDR and if CDR is administered for this trunk group.
    nEmergency Access to the Attendant
    CDR does not generate intraswitch records for Emergency Access calls.

    nExpert Agent Selection
    A logical extension can be assigned to an agent who can log into a phone 
    using that extension number. On the CDR System Parameters screen, you 
    can chose to record the agent’s logical extension as the called number 
    rather than the hunt-group extension or hunt-group-member extension.
    nFX Trunks
    All calls made on an FX trunk group are recorded if administered to record 
    CDR and if CDR is administered for this trunk group.
    nHotline Service
    The stored number used on an outgoing or intraswitch Hotline call is 
    recorded by CDR the same as if it was manually dialed.
    nHunt Groups
    Either the hunt group extension number or individual hunt group member 
    extension number is recorded as the called number. This is administrable 
    on the CDR System Parameters form.
    nIntercept Treatment
    If an outgoing or tandem call is routed to Intercept Treatment, the number 
    dialed by the calling party is recorded as the dialed number, and Condition 
    Code F is recorded.
    nInter-PBX Attendant Calls
    If a user calls an Inter-PBX attendant and the trunk group used has CDR 
    assigned, call records contain the following information:
    — Condition Code — A
    — Access Code Dialed — Blank
    — Access Code Used — Trunk access code of trunk used
    — Dialed Digits — Inter-PBX attendant access code
    nISDN
    When true answer supervision is received from the network, an indication 
    is sent to the CDR device to this effect. If an ISDN call has been 
    interworked, the call record shows this, and answer supervision may or 
    may not be accurate. If you use unformatted or expanded record formats, 
    the SID/ANI appears in the record, if sent.
    nLast Number Dialed
    The CDR access code and account code dialed are stored as part of the Last 
    Number Dialed. However, some digits may be lost due to the limit on the 
    number of digits stored for this feature.

    nManual Originating Line Service
    If an attendant establishes an outgoing call for a user, designated as a 
    Manual Originating Line, the CDR record for the call is the same as for any 
    attendant-assisted outgoing call. The calling extension is recorded as the 
    calling number, and Condition Code 1 applies.
    nMultiple LDNs
    If incoming call information is recorded, the called number recorded for 
    LDN calls is the extension number or trunk group access code to which the 
    attendant completes the call. If the call terminates at the attendant console 
    only, the dialed number is the attendant extension. The attendant extension 
    number is administrable (the default is 0).
    LDNs cannot be administered for intraswitch CDR. However, a call from 
    an intraswitch optioned extension to a LDN produces an intraswitch CDR.
    nNight Service
    The extension number assigned to the attendants is recorded as the dialed 
    number. The attendant extension number is administrable (the default is 0).
    nOff-Premises Station
    CDR data is recorded if the extension is involved in an outgoing/incoming 
    trunk call or it (or the other terminal involved in the call) is optioned for 
    intraswitch CDR.
    nPCOL trunks
    An outgoing PCOL call shows the dialed number in the 
    Dialed Number 
    field of the CDR record rather than a TAC. An outgoing PCOL call is 
    recorded as a call from the originating extension number via the trunk 
    group associated with the PCOL. On incoming PCOL calls the answering 
    extension’s primary extension is recorded as the called number if incoming 
    calls are recorded.
    nPlanned Interchange
    When a planned interchange occurs (either demand or scheduled), it is 
    possible for the CDR records on calls ending within 10–20 seconds after 
    the interchange to report as “invalid long duration calls” (duration of 9:59:9 
    and Condition Code other than 4). This is caused by deviations in the 
    clocks between the two processors and the short duration of the calls. 
    Consider these records invalid.
    nPrivate Network Access
    Private Network Access calls are recorded if CDR is assigned for incoming 
    or outgoing tie trunks.

    nRemote Access
    Remote Access calls are recorded if Remote Access is provided on a per 
    trunk group basis (incoming destination is the remote access number), and 
    those trunks are administered for CDR. The call record gives no indication 
    that this is a remote access call, other than the trunk group access code.
    nRingback Queuing
    Condition Code 8 is recorded for an outgoing call which is queued for a 
    trunk before completion. The length of time the call is queued is not 
    recorded.
    When an outgoing call is queued for a trunk and is unsuccessful (the queue 
    times out or the calling party does not answer the callback) a CDR record is 
    not generated for the call.
    nSecurity Violation Notification
    SVN calls generate intraswitch CDR if the terminating extension is 
    monitored. You cannot administer the originating extension for intraswitch 
    monitoring.
    nService Observing
    No CDR records are generated for Service Observing calls. Tandem 
    Tie-Trunk Switching
    The calling party on an incoming trunk can dial the CDR account code. 
    The 
    Calling Number field in CDR is the trunk access code for the 
    incoming trunk group, the called number is the number dialed.
    nTemporary Bridged Appearance
    A CDR record is not affected by any second or subsequent use bridging a 
    call.
    nTemporary Signaling Connections
    Cal-associated TSCs and TSC requests appear in the call record, provided 
    the switch is administered to use ISDN layouts. Non-call-associated TSCs 
    and TSC requests generate separate CDR records if the switch is 
    administered to record them. In either case, the 
    TSC Flag and Packet 
    Count
     fields of the call record contain TSC data.
    nTie Trunk Access
    Tie-trunk calls are recorded if CDR is administered to record the trunk 
    group and to record incoming calls.
