The following information describes the CDR data that the system collects for each call, and the length of
each field. The information is right adjusted in the CDR record field, unless otherwise indicated. The
system displays the customized field name if the field names for the customized differ from the names of
standard records.
Account Code
Custom field name: acct-code
Length: 1 to 15 digits
This field is either blank, or contain a number to associate call information with projects or account
numbers. For some formats, a long account code overwrites spaces on the record that are assigned to
other fields.
Attendant Console
Custom field name: attd-console
Length: 2 digits
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 3
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
If a user uses an attendant to make a call, the attd-console field displays the console number of the
attendant. If multiple attendants are used, the console number of the last attendant is recorded. For
incoming and non operator-handled calls, this field remains blank.
Authorization Code
Custom field name: auth-code
Length: 4 to 13 digits
This field contains the authorization code that the user used to make the call. The system truncates an
authorization code to 7 digits for formats other than customized formats.
Note that the authorization code for the non-ISDN format and the ISDN local storage init (LSU) format has
fewer than 6 digits. The authorization code for the Enhanced LSU format has 5 digits. The system does
not record the authorization on the 59-character record.
Bandwidth
Length: 2 digits
This field contains the bandwidth of the wide band calls to support H0, H11, H12, and N x 64 kbps data
rates. For Enhanced Expanded, Enhanced Unformatted, and customized record formats, this value in this
field is the number of DSOs of 64-kbps channels that comprise a call.
Calling Number
Custom field name: calling-num
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 4
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
Call Type
Custom field name: calltype
Length: 1 digit
This field is only used in the customized format and is used to indicate whether the called party number
was handled by calltype digit analysis or not. If the call was handled by calltype digit analysis, the field is
set to a 1, otherwise it is set to a 0. This field was formerly called logdial.
Carriage Return
Custom field name: return
The ASCII carriage return character, followed by a line feed, indicates the end of a call record.
Condition Code
Length: 1 character
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 5
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
The condition code indicates the type of call that this record describes. For example, condition code C
identifies a conference call, and condition code 7 identifies an ARS call.
The table shows the condition codes for most record formats. The condition codes for the 59-character
format differ from the condition codes of the other record types. The codes that apply to 59-character
records appear in parentheses in the table.
Table 1. Condition codes
0 Identifies an intraswitch call, which is a call that originates and terminates on the switch
Identifies an extremely long call or a call with an extremely high message count TSC. An
extremely long call is a call that lasts for 10 or more hours. An extremely high message count
TSC is 9999 or more messages.
When a call exceeds10 hours, the system creates a call record with this condition code and a
4 (D) duration of 9 hours, 59 minutes, and 1-9 tenths of a minute.
The system creates a similar call record with this condition code after each succeeding 10-hour
period.
When the call terminates, the system creates a final call record with a different condition code
that identifies the type of call.
Identifies calls where no CDR records are generated because the CDR (SMDR) processes do
not have enough resources available to generate a record. For example, a CDR resource
6 (E)
shortage could be the CDR buffer space available. The CDR record that includes this condition
code also includes the time and the duration of the CDR resource outage.
8 (H) Identifies calls that are served on a delayed basis by the Ringback Queuing feature.
Identifies:
• An incoming call
9 (I) • A tandem call
• An incoming NCA-TSC call
• A tandem NCA-TSC call
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 6
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
Identifies a call that the system does not complete because the following facilities to complete
the call are unavailable:
• Outgoing calls
• The trunks are busy, and no queue exists.
• The trunks are busy, and the queue is full.
E (N) • Incoming calls
• The extension is busy.
• The extension is unassigned.
This condition code also identifies an ISDN Call By Call Service Selection call that is
unsuccessful because of an administered trunk usage allocation plan. Incoming trunk calls to a
busy telephone do not generate a CDR record.
Identifies a call that the system does not complete because of one of the following conditions:
Identifies an incoming trunk call that is a new connection that uses Additional Network Feature-
J Path Replacement (ANF-PR) or DCS with Rerouting. For more information on QSIG and ANF-
PR, see Administering Avaya Aura® Communication Manager, 03-300509.
Identifies an outgoing trunk call that is a new connection that uses ANF-PR or DCS with
K Rerouting. For more information on QSIG and ANF-PR, see Administering Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager, 03-300509.
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 7
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
Identifies an outgoing trunk calls that the system disconnects because the call exceeds the
M
allotted time.
Identifies CDR records for calls that meet the following conditions:
• The Condition Code ‘T’ for Redirected Calls? field on the CDR System Parameters screen is
T set to y.
• The incoming trunk group is direct inward dialing (DID).
• The system automatically redirects an incoming call off of the server.
O Identifies CDR records for all calls in which URI was used as dialed digits.
P Identifies CDR records for all calls in which SA8957 PIN code for Private Calls was used.
If the Trunk-group CDR Reports field is set to ring, CDR records the ring time to answer or abandon for
incoming calls that the trunk group originates. CDR also indicates if the incoming destination is busy. This
record is separate from the normal call duration record that is printed for an answered call. This
information is indicated by the condition code.
When a trunk group originates an incoming call with this option set that is terminated to an internal
destination, the call is tracked from the time that ringing feedback is given to the originator. If the call is
answered, a CDR record is printed with condition code G, and the duration reflects the time between the
start of ringing and when the call is answered. If the call is abandoned before being answered, the system
prints a record with condition code H, and the duration reflects the time between the start of ringing and
the time that the call was abandoned. If the destination is busy, a CDR record is printed with condition
code I and a duration of 0.

Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
Country From
Custom field name: country-from
Number of digits: 3
The country-from field is a country number, used with the Multinational Locations feature, for currency
conversion. The field length is 3, the same as the length of the Country code for CDR field on the
Location Parameters screen. The country-from field indicates the administered CDR country code of the
PBX interface of the calling party.
Country To
Custom field name: country-to
Number of digits: 3
The country-to field is a country number, used with the Multinational Locations feature, for currency
conversion. The field length is 3, the same as the length of the Country code for CDR field on the
Location Parameters screen. The country-to field indicates the administered CDR country code of the
PBX interface of the called party.
Note:
If the Multinational Locations feature is turned off in the license file, the key words country-from and
country-to are invalid.
Date
You can include the date in customized CDR records only. The format of the date is based on the value of
the CDR Date Format field on the CDR System Parameters screen.
Dialed Number
Custom field name: dialed-num
Length: 23 digits
For an outgoing call, this field contains the number that the system user dials. For an incoming call, this
field contains the extension of the system user that is called. If a Dialed Number Identification System
(DNIS) exists, the field contains the implied extension for an incoming call. If the originator of the call dials
more than eighteen digits, the system truncates the number or the extension to 18 digits. The system
truncates the least significant digits, starting at the right. For example, if the originator of the call dials the
number 111111111111111111852, the system truncates the digits 852.
• CDR PrivacyIf CDR Privacy is active for the calling number, and this CDR record is for an outgoing call,
the system modifies and records the number that the user dials according to the following procedure:
• The system truncates the numbers that the user dials to 18 digits
• The system replaces some of the digits with blanks to ensure the privacy of the call.
• NCA-TSC or tandem NCA-TSC outgoing callsFor outgoing NCA-TSC or tandem NCA-TSC calls, this
field contains the digits that the user dials, and that the system uses to establish a route to the server.
The field contains the local extension that is used as the NCA-TSC endpoint when the extension is for
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 10
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
a terminating NCA-TSC. For an unsuccessful NCA-TSC outgoing call, this field is blank. The field can
contain a pound sign (#) or the letter E for either ARS calls or TAC calls when:
• A user dials a pound sign (#) at the end of a string of digits
• An outgoing call exceeds the interdigit-timeout interval that is in the ARS Analysis table
• A user makes a TAC call, which then routes through Look Ahead Interflow (LAI). For example, a
successful LAI to <TAC> 1001, where 1001 is the remote VDN extension, yields 1001E or 1001# in the
Dialed Number field. The vector processing software uses the pound sign (#) or E to indicate the end of
the string of digits that the user dials.You administer the CDR System Parameter screen so the pound
sign (#) or the letter E need not be the last digit of the CDR record.
Duration
Custom field name: duration or sec-dur
Length: 4 digits
This field contains the duration of the call, which the system records in hours (0 to 9), minutes (00 to 59),
and tenths of minutes (0 to 9). The system rounds the duration of the call down in 6-second increments.
For example, the system records the duration of a 5-second call as a duration of zero. If this field contains
the value 9999, the call was in progress when a time change was made in the switch.
You can use the customized record format to report the duration of the call in hours, minutes, and
seconds.
end-date(4d)
Length: 8 digits
This field is associated with Special Application SA8201. Go to the Avaya Support website at http://
support.avaya.com for current documentation, product notices, and knowledge articles related to Special
Application features.
Feature Flag
Custom field name: feat-flag
Length: 1 digit
The feature flag indicates whether a call received network answer supervision, and whether the call was
interworked in the network. The duration of the call starts when the system receives the network answer.
You can administer the Feature flag field on the CDR System Parameters screen to reflect whether the
network reported an outgoing ISDN call as interworked.
• The number 0 in this field indicates either a voice call without network answer supervision or a call for
which NCA-TSC is not established.
• The number 1 in this field indicates a data call without network answer supervision.
• The number 2 in this field indicates a voice call with network answer supervision, but interworked.
• The number 3 in this field indicates a data call with network answer supervision, but interworked.
• The number 4 in this field indicates a voice call with network answer supervision.
August 29, 2019 Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation 11
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Feature Description and Implementation
• The number 5 in this field indicates a data call with network answer supervision. The time of the answer
and the duration of the call are accurate if the feature flag indicates that the call received network
answer supervision. The time of the answer and the duration of the call can be inaccurate, if the call
does not receive network answer supervision, or the call receives answer supervision but is
interworked with non-ISDN trunks. Calls are considered data calls if the calls use a conversion
resource, such as a modem, and the calls either originate or terminate on a data module.
Format Code
Length: 2 digits
This field contains two values:
• 00 indicates no PPM.
• 03 indicates a PPM count in the digits record.
FRL
Length: 1 digit
Facilities restriction levels (FRLs) are numbered 0 through 7, are associated with the AAR and the ARS
features, and define calling privileges. If the call is an:
• Outgoing call, and an authorization code is not used to make the call, this field contains the FRL of the
originating user FRL.
• Outgoing call, and an authorization code is used to make the call, this field contains the FRL that is
associated with the authorization code that the user dials.
• Incoming or a tandem call, this field contains the FRL that is assigned to the incoming trunk group.
• Incoming tandem tie trunk call, this field contains either the FRL that is assigned to the tandem tie trunk
or the TCM sent with the tandem tie trunk call. If an FRL was used to complete the call, the field
contains the FRL. If a TCM was used to complete the call, the field contains the TCM. With ISDN calls,
this field always contains the TCM, if the TCM was received.You can administer CDR so that this field
contains disconnect information instead of the FRL. If you administer CDR so this field contains
disconnect information for trunk CDR, the system records the information shown in the table.
Table 3. Disconnect information for trunk CDR
Data Meaning
0 The system cannot determine which participant on the call dropped the call first.
For intraswitch CDR, the field contains the information that is shown in the table instead of the FRL.

From-URI
Length: 20 digits
The From-URI field contains the URI associated with the calling party on a SIP call. This field is used only
with the customized format. The From header contains the caller ID information. This header can contain
ID information that the calling party wants the header to contain. The ID information might or might not be
accurate and therefore is not considered to be a reliable source of information.
Note:
To have a more consistent and repeatable information in the CDR records, use the Contact-URI field
instead of the From-URI field.
Incoming TAC
Custom field name: in-trk-code
Length: 4 digits
This field contains the access code of the incoming trunk group.
INS
Length: 3 digits
This field specifies the ISDN Network Service (INS) that is requested for a call. This field applies only to
ISDN calls. Each network specific facility has a corresponding INS value, shown in the table.
The system displays this field also as ISDN NSV (network service value).

ISDN NSV
See INS.
IXC Code
The length for non-ISDN formats: 1 digit hexadecimal
Interexchange Carrier (IXC) codes,1-F hexadecimal, indicate the carrier used on the call. This information
is sent to the CDR output device in ASCII code as a hexadecimal representation, for example, ASCII F
equals 15 that is.
Users must dial an IXC access number to access a specific common carrier for a call. In the US, this
number is in the form 10XXX, 950 - 1XXX, or any 8 to 11 digit number. The IXC access numbers that are
applicable at a given location are associated with an IXC code on the Inter-Exchange Carrier Codes
screen.
When ARS is used, and a route pattern inserts one of the administered IXC codes, the report contains the
associated IXC code. If no IXC access number is used, or the carrier is selected at the central office (CO),
the report contains a zero.
Length for ISDN formats: 3 or 4 digits
With an ISDN record format, this 3-digit or 4-digit field identifies the actual IXC used on an ISDN call. This
information is determined from the route pattern administration. For AAR and ARS calls, the 3-digit IXC
value is administered in the route pattern for all ISDN calls. If a user dials an IXC code with a 10XXX
format as administered on the Inter-Exchange Carrier Codes screen, the CDR record contains only the
last 3 digits (4 digits or Enhanced). If a user dials a 7-digit IXC code, this field contains a zero.
Line Feed
Length: 1 character
The ASCII line feed character comes after a carriage return to terminate CDR records.
Location From
Custom field name: location-from
Number of digits: 3
The location-from field is a location number, used with the Multinational Locations feature, for record
sorting. The field length is 3, the same as the length of the location field on the cabinet, media gateway,
remote office, and ip-network region screens. The location-from field indicates the location code of the
PBX interface of the calling party.
Location To
Custom field name: location-to
Number of digits: 3
The location-to field is a location number, used with the Multinational Locations feature, for record sorting.
The field length is 3, the same as the length of the location field on the Cabinet, Media Gateway, Remote
