14.2 Billing Records Security
14.2.1 Definition
The security of billing records feature provides for the secure and reliable generation and
storage of CDRs. This feature is also known as
CDR security
.
14.2.2 Functional Operation
CDRs are buffered in the duplicated main memory of the HiPath 8000 and their content
transferred to a CDR file on the duplicated persistent storage. Therefore, the maximum amount
of data that could be lost in the event of a total system outage is limited to the content of the
CDR buffer of the main memory. The CDR data output to a disk file ensures that the probability
of CDR data loss is minimized.
The type of file transfer protocol depends on the entity that initiates the CDR transfer:
● If the HiPath 8000 initiates CDR transfer (also known as file transfer by
push
), file transfer
protocol (FTP) must be used.
