<pre wrap=""> Dear List,
Need to know if anyone on this list has had any experience
with using the Nortel BCM 50 for Call Account Reporting using an IP
connection to a Linux / Asterisk interface? Presently, I have a BCM
50 installed that uses a local Lenova Small Form Factor PC with a
windows XP / os that quit reporting because of a up-grade to the
Nortel reporting software. Nortel support is now telling me that my
PC needs to be up-graded for it to work with the newly patched
reporting software. Nortel as far as I know is a Windows only shop
and uses IIS and a utility to pull the data stream out of the BCM
and into the local pc that uses MSSql. What I'm looking to
accomplish is use a virtual machine running * and MySql to pull the
call data. I'm aware that Nortel use proprietary sw, but was
wondering if any Nortel Guru on the list has had any luck using *
and a 3rd party call accounting software to share?
Thanks for any help, suggestions or directions on where to find
help you can provide.
Al

<pre wrap="">What is the Asterisk bit for? Cant you just pull the CDRs off the
Nortel by whatever means their software did, then put that into some
3rd party software?

Ditto -
(a) Nortel hardware / software is proprietary garbage, and their tech
documents are as useful as toilet paper. Nortel doesn't understand the
whole point of VoIP or Open Networks.
(b) Just use wireshark to sniff the traffic between their proprietary
software and the BCM to see what network standard they bastardized to
achieve their rudimentary and unreliable level of functionality - then
pick your favorite of Python/Mono/Perl... to just setup the same
connection and do the same thing. That is one way to figure out there
hacked IMAP service that provides access to voice mail [when those
*&@^*&@$ could just publish a spec....]
I've unfortunately got 15 of those Nortel pieces of crap.

First off Nortel has used VxWorks for their large PBX's for as long as
I can remember. All their new VOIP servers are linux. As for you BCM50,
there is only one way to get the CDR records with out the Telephony
Manager, serial port. All BCM's have them. The TM software polls the
BCM for the CDR, it logs in thought a PPP session.<br>
