3.1.5 Network Time Protocol server
Configure one or more Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to synchronize time between the
Meeting Server components.
Meeting Server components.
Note: Sharing a common view of time is important for multiple reasons, it is necessary when
checking for certificate validity and to prevent replay attacks. It also ensures that timings in the
logs are consistent.
checking for certificate validity and to prevent replay attacks. It also ensures that timings in the
logs are consistent.
On each Meeting Server:
1. If necessary, SSH into the MMP and log in.
2. To set up an NTP server, type:
ntp server add <domain name or IP address of NTP server>
To find the status of configured NTP servers, type ntp status
See the MMP command reference for a full list of ntp commands.
3.1.6 Call Detail Record support
The Meeting Server generates Call Detail Records (CDRs) internally for key call-related events,
such as a new SIP connection arriving at the server, or a call being activated or deactivated. It
can be configured to send these CDRs to a remote system to be collected and analyzed. There
is no provision for records to be stored on a long-term basis on the Meeting Server, nor any way
to browse CDRs on the Meeting Server.

The core servers in a scalable server deployment supports up to two CDR receivers, enabling
you to deploy two different management tools or two instances of the same management tool
for resiliency. If you are using Acano Manager, the Acano Manager server must be one of your
CDR receivers, you can either add a second Acano Manager server or add a different
management platform. In a resilient deployment, each of the Core servers generates separate
CDRs. To get a consistent picture of the whole deployment the Core servers should use the
same CDR receivers.

You can use either the Web Admin Interface or the API to configure each core Meeting Server
with the URI of the CDR receivers. If you are using the Web Admin interface go to
Configuration>CDR settings and enter the URI of the CDR receivers. Refer to the

Configuration>CDR settings and enter the URI of the CDR receivers. Refer to the
or the API Reference guide for details on using the API to configure the Core
Meeting Servers with the URIs of the CDR receivers.
Note: The list of CDR receivers is held locally to an individual Call Bridge, it is not stored in the
database shared between clustered Call Bridges.
