Configure the SMDR output

info

You may need to purchase a license to enable SMDR on this PBX. Please speak to your system maintainer if you are unsure.

When configuring your Toshiba CIX/CTX phone system to output its SMDR data via a serial connection, you need to directly connect a serial cable from the phone system to the PC running NetPBX.

For more information about the output and configuration of your SMDR data, contact your system maintainer.

Install NetPBX

The Toshiba CIX/CTX phone system sends SMDR information via a serial connection. To collect the data from the serial port and send it to TIM Enterprise you first need to install the NetPBX software. You can download NetBPX from our gateway. If you are unable to, please contact support.

Configure TIM Enterprise

  1. Click on the Directory tab.
