CallBill3 DBA configuration

Use the following procedure to configure CallBill to transfer call records via IP.

Nortel Switch Programming

The DBA option has to be activated on the CS1000 switch. (Suc. 4.5 or greater)

1) LD 15:
Data Block = CDR

BDI  (YES) NO - Buffer Data Interface for CDR

2) LD 117:

ENL BUF CDR  - Enable buffering for CDR data
STAT BUF       - Display buffer info (data type,% full, not ready)

CallBill Record Processor Settings

Enter the following in the CallBill Site Window...

1.	Retrieve Call Records:	DBA Retrieval
2.	IP Address:	<Call Server IP>
3.	FTP User Name:	<PDT username>
4.	FTP Password:	<PDT password>
5.	DBA File Name:	Blank or dba.cdr

Troubleshooting Options:

1) Use the STAT BUF command in LD 117 to verify that the buffer contains some CDR data.

=> stat buf
CDR	ENL
TRF	DIS
STN	DIS
Storage space is 8.6% fullNot Connected
=> ****

2) Use a windows "DOS prompt" to ensure that the FTP User Name/Password can connect to the IP address.

C:\>ftp 192.168.1.5
Connected to 192.168.1.5.
220 Tornado-vxWorks FTP server ready

User (192.168.1.5:(none)): pdt2
331 Password required 
Password: *******
230- User logged in

3) Using the DBA option for CDR is not without its problems! For example:

CRMN0001, Call registers held in Print queue and not released.
Cause: Call Registers were stuck (or not freed after use) at some point due to an unknown reason.

Solution: The LD 48 flsh command removes all hanging CR's in the PRINT queue only
Change BDI to NO in CDR block (LD 15), and use serial for CDR.
