A Better Way to Engineer a Call Accounting Solution
|
Most PBX phone systems provide an RS-232 interface, Station Messaging Detail Reporting (SMDR) port, to integrate computer based Call Accounting applications designed to collect and process Call Record Data (CDR).
|
|
|
|
The PortStore Buffer is an integration device that joins the phone systems SMDR port with the Ethernet LAN, WAN, VPN, providing a fast, reliable, economic means to remotely collect, store, and access CDR from any PBX in the world.
|
|
|
Even though Call Accounting applications are designed to operate in a multi-tasking environment, the continuous collection and processing of CDR throughout the day is obvious and annoying to anyone using the computer to run other applications.

Batch Processing Lowers the Total Cost of Ownership
|
Instead of dedicating a computer to collect and process CDR, let the PortStore IP Buffer collect and store the CDR, then download and process the data in a batch format on any networked computer. The whole process only takes minutes a day freeing up the computer’s resources for other applications. |

Is Your Call
Accounting
PC Unattended ?

Because most PBX manufacturers recommend a 50’ limit for the serial cable used to integrate the PBX with the Call Accounting computer, many Call Accounting computers are located in unattended environments, such as the phone closet.
When Call Accounting is a critical business operation, the PortStore IP Buffer device is ideal for safeguarding CDR. The device’s small form factor can be inconspicuously installed, and it’s rugged enclosure and solid state design is ideal for operation in an unattended environment.
