Day and Night Modes: The network determines the day/night mode status of a call based
on the day/night mode status of the node where the trunk resides.
Call Cost: The call cost shown on the display and SMDR output use the factors and rates
for the node on which the trunk resides. In other words, if a endpoint on Node A dials what
is considered a long-distance number on node A, but the call is routed to Node B where
the number is considered local, the endpoint will use the local call cost rate from Node B.
The call rate used for calls between nodes will be based on the Network call rate.
SMDR: Each node has its own SMDR programming, SMDR output port, and SMDR output
port backup. You can enable or disable network call records on each node. When network
calls are enabled, the following applies:
o The system generates SMDR records for outgoing calls on the node where each trunk
used resides. For example, if a caller on Node A places a call using a trunk group on
Node B, the SMDR report for Node A will show the outgoing call to Node B and the
SMDR reports on Node B will show the incoming call from Node A and the outgoing
call on the trunk group.
o The call record type for network SMDR records is NET.
o If the node SMDR output port is a node, the network sends SMDR records to the
specified node.
o You cannot select a node as the SMDR output port backup.
o If SMDR output programming forms a loop, the system will send the SMDR output to
the node backup SMDR port. For example, if the SMDR port on Node 1 routes to Node
2 and the SMDR port on Node 2 routes to Node 1, the configuration will cause an
infinite loop of SMDR routing. SMDR reports for Node 1 would be printed to the backup
port on Node2 and vice versa.
Voice Mail Messages: To correct for time zone differences when message notification is
sent from the Voice Processing Unit on one node to endpoints on other nodes, there is a
Time Zone setting in each mailbox. If set properly, the voice mail message envelope will
indicate the time the message was received using the mailbox's programmed time zone.
SMDR Buffering: The optional Voice Processing Unit (Windows 2000) will buffer SMDR
records that are sent from other nodes in the network.
