Microtronix ccess - CDR Collection Manager
1 CDR Collection Manager
1.1 Overview
The Microtronix Access – CDR Collection Manager (CCM) polls legacy Central Office (CO) voice
switches or soft switches for files containing CDR, AMA, EADAS, SMDR, and other call/traffic data
records over X.25, serial, or IP interface(s) using the polling or file transfer protocol supported by the
switch. The collected files are stored and may be converted to a format suitable for the downstream
server. The stored files are pushed to or pulled from a mediation, billing, or other application server
over an IP network using secure or non-secure file transfer protocols.
In addition, the built-in X.25/TCP Gateway and Serial/TCP Terminal Server allow simultaneous
connections to the switch from operations and other management client applications like command line
interfaces.
1.2 Direct Connection to Switches
1.2.1 X.25
The CCM can replace any X.25 or dial-up networking by connecting directly to a switch's X.25 interface
and provides local storage for collected files. This increases the speed and reliability of the collection

Microtronix ccess - CDR Collection Manager
process, and reduces the exposure to network outages.
The Access 000 has 2 X.25 interfaces that can be configured for collection of 1 or 2 switches. The
Access 1000 has a single X.25 interface. Each X.25 interface can support multiple collector
configurations, for example, call record data on one collector configuration, and traffic data on another
collector configuration.
1.2.2 Async/Serial
The CCM can replace any serial dial-up networking by connecting directly to a switch's async/serial
interface for collection of data or for management clients.
1.3 Network Connection to Switches
The CCM supports multiple switches connected through X.25, and/or IP network connections.
1.3.1 Legacy X.25 Network
The CCM can be configured to support multiple switches through a single X.25 interface connected to an X.25
network. Each collector configuration uses the same X.25 interface, but with unique X.25 destination addresses.
1.3.2 X.25 Over TCP (XOT) Network
Similar to the legacy X.25 network, a virtual X.25 network that uses an XOT/IP infrastructure with XOT
routers or gateways connected to the switches is also supported. The CCM can connect to an X.25
end-point or to the XOT/IP network directly. The Microtronix Access X.25/TCP Gatewa is an example
of an XOT Gateway.

1.3.3 Remote X.25/TCP Gateway Network
TCP/IP to remote X.25/TCP Gateways connected to the switches, using RFC1006, RBP, AEPN, etc
encapsulation.
1.4 Collection Protocols
Collection protocols are used for retrieving data (polling) from switches for storage in local files. Some
protocols also allow the switch to push the files.
Supported switch polling or file transfer protocols are:

Microtronix ccess - CDR Collection Manager
1.4.1 AMATPS / BX.25
Automatic Message Accounting Teleprocessing System as per GR-385-CORE (also known as BX.25) is
used for collection of AMA records over an X.25 interface. Commonly used on Siemens EWSD and
Lucent 5ESS switches.
1.4.2 EADAS
Engineering and Administrative Data Acquisition System is used for collection of various traffic and
other data at specific timed intervals over an X.25 interface.
1.4.3 XFER
Nortel XFERPRO (Data Transferral Application Protocol) is used for collection of AMA, SMDR, and
other types of data over an X.25 interface. Used on various Nortel switches like the DMS100 model.
1.4.4 MTP
Ericsson Message Transfer Protocol is used for collection of CDR and other types of data over an X.25
interface. The collector can be configured as a client to initiate polling sessions using Server File Input
(SFI) mode, or act as a server to wait for the switch to initiate a push using Server File Output (SFO)
mode.
It can also be configured for Command Line Interface (CLI) that allows a standard terminal user to
connect to the AMTP (Alphanumeric terminal over Ericsson MTP) interface of the AXE.
1.4.5 BUFFER
Data buffering of byte-stream ASCII data over an X.25 or serial interface from the switch. This allows
the collector to gather “continuous” raw data from the switch into files for forwarding. This method has
no protocol handshake. The collector can initiate or receive a connection to/from the switch and runs
continuously as daemon.
1.4.6 SoftSwitch – FTP, SCP, SFTP / IP
The SoftSwitch protocol uses FTP, SCP, or SFTP to pull files from IP-based soft switches like
Metaswitch and Cisco Call Manager. The CCM''s FTP and SFTP servers also allow the switch to push
the files to the CCM'.
1.4.7 FTAM
(Available by special order only – separate license fee)
File Transfer Access and Management (ISO 8571) is used for collection of files over an X.25 interface,
or RFC1006/IP for switches that support this option.
1.5 File Formats
When AMA (Automatic Message Accounting) or BAF (Billing AMA Format) records are collected into
files, they may be stored in their original file format or converted to a different format for compatibility
with the downstream server. The possible file formats are:
1.5.1 AMATPS
Complete AMA records are packed into 1531-byte fixed size blocks with header and trailing pads. The
AMA records may have Recording Office Type/ID and/or Sensor Type/ID fields suppressed. This is the
file format sent by the switch when using AMATPS protocol.
www.microtronix.com 8
Microtronix ccess - CDR Collection Manager
1.5.2 AMATPS +fileHeader
This format is the same as AMATPS, but also includes the 20-byte file header sent by the switch.
1.5.3 Martin Group
This is a custom AMATPS format used for compatibility with older Martin Group mediation/billing
systems. The AMATPS blocks are rounded to the nearest multiple of 512 bytes containing actual
records.
1.5.4 AMA
AMA records are packed into the file without block/file headers or trailing pads. AMA records are BAF
format with Sensor Type/ID fields suppressed (two-field suppression), or Sensor and Recording Office
Type/ID fields suppressed (four-field suppression).
1.5.5 BAF
Billing AMA Format records are packed into the file without block/file headers or trailing pads. When
converting from AMA formats, records will have suppressed fields inserted from configured values.
1.5.6 XFER fixed block
Complete BAF records are packed into 20 8-byte fixed size blocks with a block header and trailing
pads after the last record to the end of the block. This is the file format sent by the switch when using
XFER protocol.
1.5.7 XFER variable block
XFER files from the DMS may have trailing pads removed from the fixed-size blocks to create files with
variable-size blocks.
1.5.8 EMI
AMA and BAF records can be converted to EMI format and may be divided into “billing” and “access”
files for delivery to different servers.
1.6 File Forwarding Protocols
Standard IP-based file transfer protocols ensure compatibility with modern mediation, billing, and
application servers. Each collector can be configured with a unique file server IP address and file
transfer protocol for client (push), or a unique account for remote client login and pull. For additional
security on the IP network, files may be encrypted with Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG) before being
transferred. The supported protocols are:
1.6.1 FTP
RFC959 File Transfer Protocol
1.6.2 SFTP
SSH File Transfer Protocol
1.6.3 SCP
Secure Copy using SSH

1.7 Poll Scheduling
A flexible scheduler allows polling of each switch at any time of day, or multiple times per day as
frequently as once per minute. Schedules for weekdays and weekends can also be configured. The
initial schedule for a newly created collector configuration is midnight, local time. Initial EADAS
schedules are at 5 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly, and daily corresponding to the poll type.
1.8 Configuration and Management Interfaces
A web interface allows for configuration, management, and monitoring from any Internet browser using
HTTP or HTTPS. A command line interface provides additional configuration and management tools,
and can be accessed via Telnet, SSH, or serial Console port.
1.9 Internal X.25-TCP/IP Gateway
The CCM has an internal X.25-TCP/IP Gateway that provides the connectivity between a local X.25
WAN port or remote XOT interface and the collection application.
On the Access 000 models, the second WAN port can also be used to provide X.25/TCP connections
to other remote application servers by providing conversion between X.25 and TCP/IP devices, or X.25
encapsulation over TCP (XOT). Refer to the ccess User Guide for details.
1.10 Internal Serial/TCP Terminal Server
The Access 1000 & 4000 also have an internal Terminal Server that provides the connectivity between
a local serial interface to the switch and the collection application or to remote management
applications.
On the Access 000 models, the second WAN port can also be used to provide serial connections to
other remote application servers by providing conversion between serial and TCP/IP devices. Refer to
the ccess User Guide for details.
1.11 X.25 Interface
The WAN port(s) support synchronous RS232/V.2 , V.35, X.21, and RS 9/V.36 with speeds up to
10Mbps, in a standard DB25F RS530 connector for X.25 connection to the legacy voice switch.
On the Access 000 models, Console/WAN port 1 can be used for one of:
●Second X.25 interface for backup/redundancy, or other independent applications
●Second X.25 interface for record collection
●Terminal server interface for serial management connection to the switch
●System console port for configuration and monitoring
In addition, the Console port serves as the console for the boot program, and operates in RS232
asynchronous mode during boot up.
Model 1000-S01 does not have a second port, so the WAN port doubles as the boot console.
If ordered, interface adapter cable(s) for the WAN port(s) will be supplied in the shipped package.
1.12 Serial Interface
The WAN port(s) support asynchronous RS232/V.2 with speeds up to 115.2 Kbps, in a standard
DB25F RS232 connector for serial connection to the legacy voice switch.
On the Access 000 models, the Console/WAN port can be used for one of:
●Interface for record collection
●Terminal server interface for serial management connection to the switch
●System console port for configuration and monitoring
