• an application that uses the CDR toolkit to download the CDR data
• a ZIP/UNZIP utility installed (if using the file compression feature)
Configuring the CDR Client
The CDR Client is the application running on the client PC that accesses the BCM 4.0 systems and
downloads the Call Detail Recording data files.
The CDR Client is typically a custom application that is created by your company or an external
vendor for your company. The advantage of a custom CDR Client is that it can be designed to
work with your choice of operating systems and can be integrated with your existing databases. If
you are using a custom CDR Client, refer to the documentation that came with the CDR Client for
information about configuring the it.
If your company does not have or require a custom CDR Client, a sample CDR Client is available
on the BCM web page. The sample CDR Client, named CDR Pull Client, is installed at the same
time the CDR Livestream is installed.
Setting up the Call Detail Recording user account
To ensure the security of the Call Detail Recording data files, any user must have a special Call
Detail Recording user account to access the directory where the files are stored. You must set up
this user account on every BCM 4.0 system from which the CDR Pull Client will pull information.
Before you set up the user accounts, you must create a CDR Group. For information about how to
set up User Groups, refer to the BCM 4.0 Administration Guide.
To set up a CDR user account
1 On the Task Navigation Panel, click the Configuration tab.
The Configuration folders appear.
2 Click the Administrator Access folder and click Accounts and Privileges.
The Accounts and Privileges panel appears with the Current Account tab displayed.
Note: This guide describes the setup for the sample application CDR Pull Client
provided by Nortel. For applications developed by other software vendors, follow
their documentation.
Note: Each user account must have a username and password. If your username
and password are going to be used with CDR Livestream, they must match the
username and password you use to log in to your personal computer.
If CDR Pull Client or a third-party client is used, then your username and
password must match the username and password information programmed into
the client. For a pull client, a good security practice is to avoid using a Windows
log in and password. This can compromise your personal computer and all the
CDR data if the username and password were not secure.
