Installation & Operation Manual 852 Document # LTRT-92224
Mediant 8000
Note: The snoop utility is not available on the SC Rev.1 boards (using Solaris OS)
when Media Gateway is configured for Secure Operation Mode. In this case, use an
external PC to collect Media Gateway board's debug recording traces.
49.4 Collecting Call Data Records (CDRs)
In addition to the Advanced Media Gateway board logs, Call Data Records (CDRs)
may be collected from the Media Gateway board and used for analyzing its operation.
CDR data is collected on the Media Gateway board and may be forwarded to the
active SC board or any other NFS server via the NFS protocol. The CDR storage is
limited to 1000 CDRs; therefore, on a system with a high amount of traffic, the CDR
data is overwritten relatively quickly.
49.4.1 Collecting Call Data Records on SIP Boards
You can collect Call Data Records on SIP boards and forward them to a Syslog server
or to a predefined CDR server.
 To collect CDRs from the SIP board:
1. Click
to access the Media Gateway status screen.
2. Select the desired SIP board.
3. In the Navigation pane, select Troubleshooting and in the Configuration pane,
click Troubleshooting Settings; the Troubleshooting Settings screen is
displayed.
4. Configure the parameter CDR Report Level to forward CDRs to a the Syslog
Server (see below). For example, you can configure this parameter with a CDR
level twice per call; once at the beginning of the call and once at the end of the
call.
5. (Optional) Set the parameter SIP CDR Server to a dedicated CDR Server IP
address.
This enables CDR records to be distinguished from regular syslog messages.
