System Adjuncts

The system adjuncts described in this section connect directly to the control
unit and serve the whole system.
NOTE:
Modems can be connected directly to a 012 or 016 (Release 4.0 or later)
module on the control unit or to an extension. See "Telephone Adjuncts," later in
this chapter, for more information.
Station Message Detail Recording Printer
You can connect a Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) printer to the
SMDR jack on the processor module. You need this printer so that you can use
system programming to get copies of reports about the system.
SMDR captures detailed usage information about incoming and outgoing voice
and data calls and sends the information to a printer. Two SMDR report formats
are available: the factory-set Basic format and the Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) format. Use the ISDN format if you subscribe to the AT&T INF02
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) or have an 800 GS/LS-ID module and
caller identification service from the central office (CO). If you select the ISDN
format during system programming, the number identification information prints
in the CALLED NUMBER field of the call report. The remainder of the fields are
identical to the Basic format.
An SMDR record consists of the following fields:
CALL TYPE (Basic or ISDN)
DATE
TIME
CALLED NUMBER
DUR (duration)
LINE (facility number)
STN (extension)
ACCOUNT (account code or authorization code if no account code is
entered)
