Privacy
CDR Privacy allows you to administer the system to blank a given number of 
dialed digits from a CDR report. This is useful when it is necessary to know 
details of a person’s calls for accounting purposes, but it is not necessary or 
desirable to know the exact number called. 
You can administer the number of digits to hide, up to 7. The value in Privacy 
Digits to Hide determines how many digits do not appear on the call record. This 
parameter is system-wide. Whether or not an individual’s calls receive Privacy 
treatment is determined by the CDR Privacy field on the Station form.
When an adjunct-originated call is made on behalf of a hunt group and the CDR 
system parameter option is set to 
group-ext, then CDR privacy does not apply. If 
this field is set to 
member-ext, privacy does apply.
NOTE:
Certain countries have requirements that a certain number of digits must be 
blanked from every call. Also, certain report processors do not support this 
option.
CDR output 
If your system uses two CDR output formats, one is administered as the primary 
CDR output format; the other is administered as the secondary CDR output 
format. The secondary output format is typically used for a local storage format 
(CDRU) to provide CDR data to NCOSS for assessing network performance or 
helping to find network problems.
The primary and secondary ports work independently. Each port will work even if 
the link to the other port is down. If a link is down for more than a minute, some 
data may be lost. However, the most recent 500 (Release 5vs/si/csi and later), or 
1,900 (Release 5r and later) records are stored for the primary port even when a 
loss of records occurs. When the link comes back up, these records are output on a 
first-in, first-out basis.
If the CDR buffer is full, you can select a call record handling option to determine 
which of the following occurs:
nCalls are blocked with a reorder tone
nOverwrite old CDR records with new ones
nCalls are routed to an attendant as non-CDR calls

The following information applies to the port used for the secondary CDR output 
device:
nData going to the secondary port should be the same as that going to the 
primary port. You can use the following record types for secondary output: 
LSU, Int-Direct, Int-Process, and Unformatted.
nIf the system experiences problems in sending records to the primary CDR 
Output Device, the system discontinues sending records to the secondary 
port for 2 minutes. The secondary port should be run at the highest possible 
speed in order to prevent loss of information.
nIf the output buffer is full, the system busies out the secondary port for 2 
minutes. This makes system resources available to send data to the primary 
CDR port before the data is lost. The system continues to busy out the 
secondary port for 2-minute intervals until less than 400 records (1800 for 
Release 5r and later) remain in the buffer.
CDR Record formats
Two types of formats are sent to the CDR output device, date record and call 
detail formats.
Date record format
CDR sends date information to the CDR device once a day (at midnight), or when 
the device is connected. This is a non-call record, and contains only the 
information shown in the date record formats below.
Several formats are available for date records: one for CDRUs, one for the printer, 
and one for the TELESEER. The records sent to the TELESEER and printer 
contain the date only while the records sent to the CDRU contain time. See Ta b l e  
24, Table 25, and Ta b l e  2 6.
NOTE:
The date can be in month/day or day/month format, as selected on the CDR 
System Parameters form. The date/time may also be reversed for 
international standards.

Call Detail Record formats
Customized format
You can use the customized record format to make up your own call record. You 
can determine the data elements you want and their positions in the record. This 
method may be necessary if you want to include certain data elements that are not 
available on the standard formats.
However, whatever device you use to interpret the CDR data needs to be 
programmed to accept these formats. Consult your Lucent Technologies 
representative before using a custom record format.
