PCR-360 supports importing of Call Detail Records (CDR). The Import utility allows the administrator to map out the format for the CDR files that are imported into PCR-360 and make changes as required Required to the CDR import without any assistance from PCR. Typically monthly CDR imports include any sort of phone switch or communication manager (Avaya, Cisco, SL-1, SL-100, 5ESS, NEC, Nortel, etc) or data from carriers like Verizon, ATT, and Sprint, etc.

Rate Calls

PCR-360 automatically Rates Calls based on a setting in the Configuration Guide according to the Users needs.
