About Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording
Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recordin g is an application that records and reports call
activity. Each time a telephone call is made to or from your company, you can
record the information about the call. When the call is completed, you can print
information about the call in a report. Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording can
also provide information on incoming calls as the events occur. This information is
recorded in a Real Time Call record.
Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording provides information about:
•date and time of the call, and digits dialed
•the originating and the terminating line or station set
•whether an incoming call was answered
•elapsed time between origin of a call and when it was answered
•whether a call was transferred or put on hold

Access Bin Settings and Suppress Length Settings
Access Bin Settings codes are used to access certain long distance carriers. Personal
Identification N umbers (PIN) can b e associated with these codes. Th e long distance
user dials the code of the carrier (up to five digits) followed by the PIN (0 to 16
digits), followed by the telephone number to make long distance calls. Access Bin
Settings provide security to the long distance user by suppressing the printing of the
PIN in the output reports.
You can have up to five codes assigned at any one time. Each code is a maximum
of five digits and can be associated with a suppression number equal to the length
of the PIN. The first digits dialed are compared to the Access Bin Settings. If there
is a match, the next digits are suppressed. The number of digits suppressed equals
the value in the suppress field for that code. Only the Access Bin Settings and the
remaining digits (excluding the PIN) are printed in the output report.

Norstar Real Time report format
Real Time call records are one line long. All Real Time records begin with an
asterisk (*) to differentiate them from non-Real Time call records. Real Time
records are generated only when CLID Information is available. Records are
generated only for the following five call states:
•Ringing is represented by the letter “G”
•Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) is represented by the letter “D”
•Answered is represented by the letter “A”
•No Answer is represented by the letter “N”
•Transfer is represented by the letter “T”
•Released is represented by the letter “R”
The RINGING call state is unique to Real Time records because it indicates a
ringing line as soon as Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording received the CLID
Information.
The Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) record is reported only if the line
delivers the DNIS information. If present, it follows right after the RINGING
record.
An example of a call, ringing with DNIS, answered and released appears below.

Real time records are printed when the events occur. The record information can be
used to drive external PC database applications. One such application is to locate
customer information stored in the database by extracting the CLID information from
the Real time records.

Busy reports
There are two Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording busy reports:
•Direct Inward Dial
•Target Line
P0908545 Issue 01Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording System Administration Guide
46 Norstar reports
Direct Inward Dial (DID) busy
This happens when a digital line is set up as a DID line requiring receive digits to
route the call through the Enterprise Edge server via a target line. If all target line
destinations are busy, and the Enterprise Edge server is programmed to return busy
instead of routing the call to the prime station set, Enterprise Edge Call Detail
Recording reports busy.
-------- 03/02/99 15:09:32 LINE = 0235
00:00:00 BUSY
LINE = 0035
Target line busy
This happens when a target line is involved with a call, and a second incoming call
tries to use the same line. Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording reports busy, but
does not include the target line information.
-------- 03/02/99 14:36:02 LINE = 0035
00:00:00 BUSY
Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording reports busy only if the Enterprise Edge
server is programmed to provide busy treatment.
Bearer capability data
When you set Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording to report in Norstar CLID
format, Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording supports the reporting of Bearer
capability associated with the call as part of the CLID report. An example of an
incoming call with Bear capability data appears below.

Dialed number identification service
Certain trunk types support the delivery of Dialed Number Identification Service
(DNIS). Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording supports the reporting of DNIS as
part of the CLID call reports when the information is delivered. DNIS reporting is
supported in both Norstar CLID format and Norstar Real Time format. An example
of an incoming call with DNIS information appears below

Call connected digit separator
Normally, Enterprise Edge Call Detail Recording re ports all the digits the user dials
to connect the call. The digits may include digits responding to prompts from the
Automated Attendants, extension transfer or voice mail service. To facilitate the
identification of digits dialed to connect the call and digits dialed after the call is
connected, an option is available to insert an “!” between them. An example of an
outgoing call with call connected digit separator appears below
-------- 01/01/99 01:38:00 LINE = 0023 STN = 223

connected. Not all Enterprise Edge servers support the delivery of call
connected signal and this feature may not be available for some Enterprise
Edge servers.

them from other Norstar records. It contains eight fields:
•Date in MMDDYY format
•Time in HHMMSS format
•Line number associated with the call
•Station Set number associated with the call
•CLID number
•CLID name or DNIS number
•Call type
•Call state
The first field is the date field and is a fixed length of six digits
(MMDDYY). The month, day or year may be preceded with a leading 0 to keep the
field length fixed. For example, 010598 is January 5, 1998.
The second field is the time which is also a fixed field with six digits (HHMMSS).
There are no separators between hour, minute and second.
The third field is the line which is associat ed with the call bei ng tracked. The line is
