Call Accounting System - CDR Setup for Omega Pbx
On page 14 of “Omega Panel” (file name is “Omega Panel.pdf”), I found
Outgoing calls:
AUT
$161000-151421-AUT -01-13 - -00003-00000-2251$161000-151521-A001-01-13 - -00002-00000-308$161000-151801-AUTN-01-13 - -00154-00000-308• Outgoing automatic call without the use of ARS/LCR, subscriber line 13 made the call via CO line
01, the call lasted for 3 sec, number 2251 was called.
• Outgoing automatic call with the use of ARS/LCR, route No. 001, subscriber line 13 made the call
via CO line 01, the call lasted for 2 sec, number 308 was called.
• Outgoing automatic call with the use of ARS/LCR (unfortunately, no cheaper route was available, with
the “Warning, more expensive call” message), subscriber line 13 made the call via CO line 01, the call
lasted for 154 sec, number 308 was called.
Let me give you instruction how to configure my software to understand Outgoing Call accounting log (I
assume that internall call is unnecessarily to be billed. I have no time to look further for other type of
accounting records of Omega)
Step 1: Remove $, and replace – with blank character.
Go to Application Tools>>Application Settings>>Option 1>>check the checkbox named “Character Filter
Applied To Raw CDR”, then click on small button next to it to get a dialog as follows:
You enter – on the first cell (first row, first column) and “ “ on the second column. This mean replacing –
with blank characer.
Next, enter $ on first column, leave the second column empty. This mean cut-off $.
Take below CDR for test. I guess that the first parameter is Dial Date with format of ddmmyy (I change
year from 00 which means 2000 to 05 which mean 2005, since my Telephone Trariff don’t have effected
date on 2000, instead it has only Tariff Record for 2003 or later. Of course you can change Telephone
Tariff to have applied date back to 2000).
$161005-151421-AUT -01-13 - -00003-00000-2251After remove $ and replace – with blank character, the filted CDR should be looked like this:
161005 151801 AUTN 01 13
00154 00000 308
So, this is the call may in 16th, Oct, 2005, at 15:18:01, via Trunk=01, from Extension = 13, last for 3
seconds, call to 2251.
Step 2: Define CDR format. Go to Application Tools>>Application Settings>>CDR Settings
Pat attention on Red Square information.
1/ On “Used Columns” are your CDR format.
- First row is DialDate. You see the second column “One”, that means this first column has At Least
one blank character to next adjacent column. By default, it is Two. You have to click on this row,
then change Space(s) combox box below “Used Columns” list box to One.
- Second row is DialTime
- “161005 151801 AUTN 01 13 00154 00000 308” has the 3th column is AUTN, which we don’t
need it to calculate call charge. It just a maker of outgoing call. So that I ignore it by adding
“Ignored Column 1” at row number 3.
- 4th row is Trunk
- 5th row is Extension
- 6th row is Duration
- “161005 151801 AUTN 01 13 00154 00000 308” has column numbered 7 is 00000, which has
no meaning in the call charge calculation point of view. So that I ignore it by adding “Ignored
Column 2” at row numbered 7.
- 8th is DialNumber
2/PBX Date Time (Format) must set to ddmmyy
Because that is your CDR date format (ex: 161005)
3/Pbx Time Format must set to hhmmss . You just click on this combo box, remove “System Time
Format”, then type hhmmss directly to that combo box.
hhmmss that is your CDR time format.
That all for CDR format definition. Now click on OK button to save your settings.
Step 3: Testing what you have set for CDR format.
Go to Call Charge Scheme>>Call Charge Tester
Copy and past the sample CDR to the text box on second tab.
$161005-151421-AUT -01-13 - -00003-00000-2251Then, click on Bill button. You will have the result of call charge calculation as above (Of couse it depen
on Tariff as well).
THAT ALL BASIC CONFIGURATION FOR MY SOFTWARE TO UNDERSTAND OMERA
OUTGOING CDR.
