The Open Telephony Server service can save up to 200 tickets in a buffer
Local call log tickets are deleted when they are sent to the "local call metering" application
Unsuccessful calls (busy, unanswered call, etc.) are not logged in the Open Telephony
Server service
The Call Log Driver retrieves all call log events from the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Office
Communication Server and presents these log events in an orderly manner
The Metering Driver stores the local call log tickets in the output file (TicketCollector.xml)

Warning/Error information
XML File
When installing the "Local call metering" application, the Open Telephony Server interface
must be active.
When the "local call metering" application is running, call log information (metering tickets) is
extracted via the Open Telephony Server. These metering tickets are stored in an XML local
file, located in the application installation directory (by default) and named "TicketCollector.xml"
(by default).
The maximum number of tickets stored in the XML file can be changed by modifying the
configuration file.
The call log information includes:
-
Initial number: initial called party in case of transfer, pick-up, or other similar operation
Caller number
Note:
When the tickets number limit is reached, the "TicketCollector" file is emptied and its content is copied on
the local directory to an archive file as: TicketCollector_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.xml:
where "yyyymmdd" is the archive date and "hhmmss" is the archive time.

1-4
call metering" application configuration program to set various driver parameter values.
"Local call metering" application configuration parameters are stored in the LCMA.conf file
located in the "Local call metering" application installation directory.
This file contains all "Local call metering" application parameters which are set with default
values when the "Local call metering" application is first installed. The file can be edited to
update certain parameters that are not configured by the "Local call metering" application
configuration program.
To configure an installed and running "local call metering" application:
