Note

Note: Starting from WMS Beta  6.01.2022072120221019.14, it is possible to set up backend for storing chat and call history (CDR) on Cloud PBX. 

...

  • External server Microsoft SQL: MySQL or MSSQL. The server must be previously installed and must be reachable by the PBX

  • Internal database: CDR Sqlite. In this case CDR is stored on the PBX (on the backend specified for CDR storage). This backend is recommended for PBXs with 40 users and less

  • CSV file: file can be saved to a storage device (USB or network share)

Other Settings:

...

  • Hide in CDR-View: allows hiding last X digits in CDR-View from phone numbers consisting of more than 7 digits. Must be used together with ACL “Can/cannot see full number in CDR-View” (see ACL rules and Call classes management Guide)
  • Delete calls / chats / voicemail / recording after: these options allow auto-deleting old calls, chats, voicemails and recordings after a specified number of months 

    Note

    Notes:

    • By default, the system clears data older than 12 months, if other values are not specified. Clearing of old data is run at 4 am every day.
    • Deleting chat history in WMS Network.
      In case WMS Network is enabled, chat history from CDR-backend will be deleted using the minimum value. For example, "Delete chats after 2 month" is set on Server PBX and "Delete chats after 1 month" is specified on Client PBX -> chats will be deleted after 1 month (the value of Client PBX is applied).

  • CDR table name: the name of the table that the PBX creates on the remote database
  • User: the user to access to the server
  • Password: the password to access to the server
  • Port: specify the port used for connection

Note

Note: It is also possible to enable connection to MSSQL instance.

Requirement: SQL Server browser must be running on MSSQL host. Please check the Microsoft documentation for detailed information on SQL browser.

To enable the connection, check the box "Enabled" and fill in the following data:

  • Hostname: specify MSSQL instance in the form of ip_adress_of_SQL_server\instance_name. For example, 10.100.0.0\SQLEXPRESS
  • Database name: the name of database where the CDR will be stored
  • CDR table name: enter the name of the table created by the PBX on MSSQL Server
  • User and Password: enter the credentials to access to SQL Server
  • Port: there is no need to specify the port when connecting to MSSQL instance. By default MSSQL itself listens on TCP port number 1433, but for instances the TCP port is dynamically configured

    To send SMS via another PBX with a configured GSM trunk, you can use the following request: curl -k -X POST -u user:password --url "http://<PBX_IP_Address>/api/v1/originate/sms" --data-urlencode "number={TO_NUMBER}" --data-urlencode "message={MESSAGE}", where <PBX_IP_Address> is IP address of PBX with a configured GSM trunk
