  2. Click on Telephony Server -> Basic Settings in the navigation tree

  3. Click on Basic Settings -> Call charges -> Call charges output format

  4. In the CDR system section, select LAN-TCP-Client from the drop-down list

    output format

info

Please note the following:

  • If the system was upgraded from HiPath 3000 using the convert tool, the data format will use ; as a separator
  • If the system was upgraded from HiPath 3000, but the database was retyped subsequently, the data format will use | as a separator
  • If the system was new, the data format will use | as a separator

If the HiPath 3K database was simply converted and not retyped, no change will be required, since both the old and the new database will use ; as a separator. If the database was retyped, the new platforms default to |separator. This is the most notable in a networked environment where the same template must be used.

However, the | separator cannot be set in the new WBM tool, and can only be configured using the Manager E, as shown below:
