Call detail record

A call detail record, or CDR for short, is a data record containing call-related information such as:

• Source NAP
• Destination NAP
• Calling #
• Called #
• Start time
• End Time

Call detail records are the foundation of subscriber billing activities by telecom service providers.

TelcoBridges and Call detail records

TelcoBridges products support the generation of call detail records. Starting with version 2.3 of the Toolpack software environment, they also support the ability to export call detail records to a RADIUS server for accounting purposes.

NOTE: Specifically regarding the TMG3200 and TMG800 media gateways that feature internal storage and an onboard linux host, while call detail records can be stored locally, it is likely that the capacity of the internal hard drive will be insufficient for larger record volumes in the internal database. Instead, it is recommended that call detail records not be stored in the internal database at all, but that they instead be made available for export to an external RADIUS server and deleted locally following successful export.
