Only one CAT can be connected to the communications system.
A serial printer such as the AT&T 572 should be used so that the CAT can be
connected directly to the SMDR port on the communications system's control
unit. A parallel printer cannot be attached directly.
The CAT is unable to process automatic number identification (ANI)
information from the Integrated Services Digital Network (lSDN).
The CAT can store call information on 5600 calls made from up to 125
telephones that share up to 49 lines. When 5040 of these calls have been
processed, reports are printed and memory is cleared. Any calls that come
in during this process are held until reports are printed again.
Set SMDR options:
Select basic call report format.
Specify the minimum call length to be recorded.
Specify whether information is to be recorded for both incoming and
outgoing calls or only for outgoing calls.
The account codes users enter before or during calls are used by the CAT to
associate calls with accounts and individuals; these codes appear on CAT
reports.
The CAT uses the call information provided by the communications system's
built-in SMDR feature to process calls.
Note: There are two formats for SMDR: basic and ISDN-PRI.
