PortStore4
PortStore4 is an efficient solution for monitoring a private branch exchange (PBX) and collecting call accounting data. Received CDR/SMDR data can be easily and securely sent by encrypted e-mail or via FTP to a central site for analysis.
PortStore4 is solution for analog even VoIP telephony. It can grab call acounting data (CDR/SMDR) from old analog PBX via serial port, even from Trixbox or Asterisk PBX via IP.
- Data can be retrieved from the buffer using the supplied software, or via standard FTP.
- The second serial port can be used as a Virtual Serial Port for remote administration of the PBX.
