About Station Message Detail Recording 6
The Station Message Detail Recording 6 (SMDR6) is a unit that
connects to your Norstar Key System Unit (KSU) to record call activity.
Each time a telephone call is made to or from your company, the
information about the call is recorded. When the call is completed,
information about the call is printed out in Call Records. The SMDR6
canalsoprovide information onincomingcalls as the eventsoccur. The
information reported is called Real Time Call Record.
The SMDR6 provides information about:
• date and time of the call, and digits dialed
• the originating and the terminating line or station set
• whether an incoming call was answered
• elapsed time between origin of a call and when it was answered
• whether a call was transferred or put on hold
• call duration
• calls associated with Account codes
• incoming call Calling Line Identification (CLID) information
• Bearer Capability of the line in the call
• Hospitality records for room occupancy status
• Real Time records for ringing, DNIS, answered, unanswered,
transferred, and released events for incoming calls with CLID
information and Hospitality room occupancy status
Note
: SMDR6 delivers Custom Local Area Signalling Services
(CLASS), Call Management Services (CMS), Automatic Number
Identification and Dialed Number Identification Services (DNIS) in the
form of Calling Line Identification (CLID) records. This information is
available only if the appropriate Norstar hardware is installed and the
service is available from your public telephone company. SMDR6 only
prints records with CLID, Real Time records or costof a call information
on Norstar CCUs with digital lines and Hospitality records. Contact your
Customer Service representative for more information.

The information collected by the SMDR6 can be used to:
• allocate telephone costs to departments or individuals
• charge back telephone costs to billable clients through Account
codes
• determine whether the telephone system is being used efficiently
• guard against abuse of the telephone system
• provide immediate call information to database applications
through Real Time call records
• track changes in room occupancy status
System Overview
The SMDR6 is a peripheral connected to the Norstar Key System Unit

LED control
The green light emitting diode (LED) located on the back of the unit is
controlled by the SMDR6 software. It is used to indicate the five
possible states of the SMDR6.
Note
: The default for the LED is on steady.
Special station set numbers
Two special station set numbers are reserved by SMDR6 to represent
special entities in the KSU that can answer calls. It is important to know
these special entities to interpret the reports correctly.
The followings are the known station set entities defined:
• Auto Attendant
• Remote Pager
When the Auto Attendant answers incoming calls, the station set
number is reported as zero if the SMDR6 is connected to a Compact
ICS KSU.
When an incoming call is answered by Remote Pager, the station set
number is reported as 7.

If you select the Prefix report type, you must also specify the prefix
digits.
The purpose of the Prefix option is to record only long distance calls,
calls to certain area codes or calls to specific numbers.
If the first digits dialed match one or more of the programmable prefix
strings, the call is recorded, otherwise, the call will not be reported. You
can have a maximum of eight prefix strings assigned at one time. The
maximum length for each prefix string is eight digits.
To specify the long distance prefix digits:
1. When in Report Type menu, press CHANGE until the display shows:
2. Press SHOW to view or modify the prefix strings.
The display shows:
3. Using the dial pad, enter the long distance prefix digits. (In this
example 9293 is used). The display shows:
Either the BKSP or CLEAR buttons can be used to correct characters that
are entered in error. The BKSP button erases one character at a time.
The CLEAR button erases all of the characters you have entered.
When you are programming SMDR6 from an M7310 orM7324
telephone, the asterisk (*) button is accepted as a wild card character
that represents any digit.
Note
: The defaults are 0, 1, 90, 91, 411 and 9411. A maximum of eight
digits are allowed.

Report language
If your KSU supports both the English and French, you have the option
to select reporting the call records in English or French.
Setting the report language
To set the Report language you must access the SMDR6 Main menu.
1. Press ƒ · • ¤.
2. Press NEXT until the display shows:
3. Press CHANGE to select the desired Report language.
Note
: The report language selected affects only the reports. The
language used in SMDR6 Main menu and Account code entry remains
associated with the station set language.
Access codes
Access codes are codes used to access certain long distance carriers.
Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) can be associated with these
codes. The long distance user dials the Access code of the carrier (up
to five digits) followed by the PIN (0 to 16 digits), followed by the
telephone number to make long distance calls. The Access Code
feature provides security to the long distance user by suppressing the
printing of the PIN in the output records.
You can have up to five Access codes assigned at any one time. Each
Access code can be a maximum of five digits and can be associated
with a suppression number equals to the length of the PIN. The first
digits dialed are compared to the Access Codes. If there is a match, the
next digits are suppressed. The number of digits suppressed equals to
the value in the suppress field for that Access code. Only the Access
code andthe remaining digits (exclude the PIN) are printed in the output
record.
