    H A P T E R Using CDR Search CDR Search is a client application that lets you search a Call Detail Reporting database. You can install CDR Search on either the system server or on an administrator client desktop. CDR Search works only with AltiWare OE Release 4.6 (and higher) or AltiContact Manager 4.6 (and higher).

    H A P T E R CDR Overview AltiGen’s Call Detail Recording (CDR) solutions include data creating, recording, collecting, and reporting. While CDR can be used for individual and departmental billing, timecards, and market analysis, this manual places special emphasis on CDR’s use for call center applications. The data schema are designed to provide information for PBX, call center, billing, multi-tenant, and performance tracking information.

  • Page 31 CDR Overview After installing AltiWare, the user configures rtmData.mdb using the Call Reports window in AltiAdmin/ACM Admin. Figure 2. Call Reports window, System Configuration When RTM Data - MDB is selected, the Config button opens a dialog box where the user can enable and configure these records. Figure 3.
  • Page 32 Real-Time Monitoring and the CDR Client The Enable and Retain Records parameters are unchanged from the previous version of AltiWare, except that the lower limit for retaining records is now 1 day instead of 5 days. The Buffer Size settings are also gone.
  • Page 33: Call Center Events And Cdr

    The CDR data schema has been redesigned and streamlined. If you have a reporting package using past versions of AltiGen’s CDR or SMDR, the reporting package vendor will have to rewrite the reporting program to work with the new schema.
  • Page 34 SMDR is a Mitel-defined data schema for delivering basic call information out the RS232 serial port to external recording and reporting applications. While AltiGen has provided an SMDR interface, it has had many problems in terms of accuracy and consistency of information delivery.
  • Page 35: Hapter

    H A P T E R Data Storage CDR Search can store data using either an Internal Logger Service (ILS) or an External Logger Service (ELS). These two storage systems are described below. Internal Logger Service In CDR Search, call reporting distinguishes between call detail data, which records every call made to, out of, and within the system, and RTM data, which is workgroup-related statistical data captured from the real-time monitoring function used in the AltiSupervisor client application.
  • Page 36: External Logger Service

    OK to overwrite the ODBC32.dll. • System integrators or developers need to write custom query programs to extract data from the SQL server. AltiGen provides only the logging service. • If multiple systems can send CDR records to a single common SQL server for call reporting or billing purposes, each system needs to have a different system ID.
  • Page 37 Data Storage To install the External Logger Service (ELS) program on the SQL server: Insert the AltiWare OE 4.6 or AltiContact Manager 4.6 CD ROM into the target server CDROM drive. Using Windows Explorer (or similar mechanism), locate the External Logger Service directory and then find the setup file.
  • Page 38: Sql Backup And Maintenance

    Go to System Configuration > Call Reports and double-click “External CDR Log.” Enter the IP address of the SQL server and click on the Apply button. Select AltiGen External Server option and click on the Apply button. To verify SQL logging activity: Make several connected outbound calls.

    Records and Data Schema Glossary of Terms Abandonment - Incoming call where the caller decides to disconnect before completing a call processing state in the phone system: listening and handling auto attendant/IVR, while waiting in queue, or while in voice mail. (See also short calls.) Note: This is not the same as the Abandonment from Queue found in Center 4.0 real time screens.
  • Page 78 RTM Data Schema CallerID - The phone number of the calling party. CallerID differs from ANI in that CallerID is the phone number of the phone from which the caller is calling as opposed to the billing number for the phone. If a caller is calling from a business, the CallerID will be different from the ANI number, in most cases.
  • Page 79 Records and Data Schema Handled Calls - The number of calls actually processed successfully to a normal disconnect exit state. For example, answered by a person, or the person completed a voice message or listening to a prompt. Handled WG - The number of calls handled by a workgroup in the phone system. In WG Average Duration - The amount of time, on average, calls spent waiting for a free agent while in a queue.
  • Page 80 RTM Data Schema NodeID - The AltiServ system number (from 0–128) that was assigned to a given AltiWare system in AltiAdmin/ACM Admin. The number is used to separate CDR records from different AltiWare systems when the records are collected jointly at one site using one database server for consolidated reporting.
  • Page 81 Records and Data Schema PRI - ISDN Primary trunks Queued Call - A call that has entered the queue as a result of not finding any free agents in a workgroup or for an extension and must now wait for an extension to become free.
  • Page 82 Score - This may or may not be found in the reports created within Call Analyst depending on applications created by the customer, not Call Analyst or AltiGen. Score is a number that represents how well a supervisor believes an agent has handled a particular call that the supervisor has silently monitored.
  • Page 83 Records and Data Schema Spillover - Overflow from one route table to the next. T1 - T1 is a digital facility from the phone system (customer premise) to the central office, or from one CPE site to another between AltiServ systems (T1 tie trunks). Voice is encoded as zeros and ones on a channel (i.e., conceptual trunk) using industry standard encoding.
  • Page 84 URL - If a caller enters AltiServ via the Internet using AltiGen’s AltiWeb software (Web Button) then this field will contain the URL address for the caller accessing the system.
  • Page 85: Configuration Areas Affecting Cdr Information

    Records and Data Schema WorkGroup - The workgroup is an extension representing a collection of individual extensions, such that each of these individual extensions can service a call arriving at the workgroup extension number. If none of these extensions is available at the time a call arrives, then the call is queued for this particular workgroup—a workgroup queue.
  • Page 86: Wrapup

    A system integrator is required to use AltiGen’s AltiX ActiveX control. Ring No Answer Configurations and VM Agents sign on to workgroups and answer calls. On occasion, an agent or extension might be signed on, but negligently walk away from their station.
  • Page 87: Example Call Sequences And Their Effect On Cdr Records

    Records and Data Schema Example Call Sequences and their Effect on CDR Records One objective of the CDR record is to track the talk time of agents and individuals for incoming and outgoing calls. Many call sequences are possible. The following are examples of inbound and outbound calls to a call center and sequences of recorded results in the CDR Detail report: Example 1 - Ext.
