Call detail record

Call detail records, or CDR for short, are the foundation of subscriber billing activities by telecom service providers. They are data records containing call-related information such as:

• Incoming Network
• Outgoing Network
• Calling number
• Called number
• Start time
• End Time

TelcoBridges and call detail records

TelcoBridges products support the generation of call detail records in text format. They also support the ability to export call detail records to a RADIUS server for accounting purposes. Both methods can be used simultaneously.

Text CDRs are stored locally on the TMG units and must be extracted from the system either manually, or automatically.

If the network supports RADIUS, this method is preferred as each record will be sent in a timely manner to an external database for storage.
