Configuring your SMDR output
The Alcatel 4200-4400e phone system sends its call records via a serial connection. The most recent units already have a .v24 port but, for older units, you may need to purchase a .v24 module.
Connect a serial cable between your Alcatel 4200-4400e .v24 module and the PC that NetPBX is installed and running on.
