What's this?

• Vision can store and print the details of each external call. This includes both outgoing (OG) and incoming

(IC) calls.

• Vision can send the details of these calls on the communication port, either immediately on completion of the

call (online) or afterwards when desired (offline).

Following diagram shows the logic in which the calls are stored and printed.

How to program and use it?

As known two types of calls are possible: Outgoing call and Incoming call

Outgoing Call

Outgoing calls can be stored and printed in a desired way.

Outgoing calls-Storage

Station message detail recording facility is used to keep records of calls made from the system. SMDR is useful

in monitoring and controlling the cost of telephone calls. The Vision can keep track of each call made by any

station. Each call is stored in form of a record in the SMDR buffer. One outgoing call occupies one record

space in the SMDR buffer. The SMDR buffer data is maintained even during power failures.

It is advisable to take frequent printouts of the calls to avoid inadvertent or accidental loss of the SMDR

records. Maximum 500 records can be stored in the SMDR buffer. Once the SMDR buffer is full, fresh call is

stored in place of the oldest call in the SMDR buffer. This is known as First In First Out (FIFO) logic.

The SMDR parameters configuration report shows the number of SMDR records in the buffer. The SA or SE

can clear the SMDR-OG buffer by using appropriate password from the SA mode. The SA or SE can transfer

this data on a computer for storage or printing or further analysis.

Each outgoing call is stored with following fields:

• Serial Number

• Station that made the call

• Trunk line port used for the call
