Call Detail Recording 
20
Authorization Codes 
Authorization codes are recorded on CDR records provided account codes 
do not exceed 5 digits for non-ISDN and ISDN LSU formats, or 4 digits for 
Enhanced LSU formats. On the 59-character CDR International Processing 
and International Direct records, the authorization code is never recorded. 
When account codes are dialed, for the non-ISDN and the ISDN LSU 
formats, authorization codes are recorded on CDR printouts if the account 
code length does not exceed 6 digits. For Enhanced LSU, the account code 
length must not exceed 6 digits.
Automatic Selection of DID Numbers
Incoming calls, if recorded at all, are recorded for the DID extension 
number, not the room extension number.
AAR and ARS
CDR records contain the following information for Automatic Route 
Selection (ARS):
— Fact that an ARS call was made
— Calling extension number
— FRL of the calling extension
— Called number
— TAC of trunk group used for the ARS call
— Time of call completion
— Call duration (how long the parties talked)
— IXC code, if any
If CDR is suppressed for the trunk group actually used on an ARS call, a 
CDR record is not generated; otherwise, Condition Code 7 applies. The 
ARS access code is recorded in the Access Code Dialed field and the trunk 
access code for the trunk group actually used is recorded in the Access 
Code Used field.
If an AAR call is placed to a busy trunk group and CDR is suppressed for 
that trunk group, the user hears reorder tone and the CDR output shows an 
ineffective call attempt.
If an ARS call is an attendant-assisted call, the CDR record shows the call 
with a Condition Code of 7 (ARS call) instead of a Condition Code of 1 
(attendant-assisted call). This occurs because CDR is not notified until after 
the trunk is seized and, in this case, the trunk is not seized until the user 
dials the number.
For FEAC, if a trunk group is accessed via ARS, the trunk group’s COR is 
not used to determine if an account code needs to be entered.
