Party B

Party A dials Party B’s number. If the connection is established successfully, after Party B or Party A goes On-Hook, the Pabx A will send to the PC a string of character called CDR or Call Detail Record, which containing all needed information of the call for calculating call charge.

On the next slides, we will introduce some

basic CDR formats and the way to setup Pbx Billing System to receive and parse that CDR correctly.
