info

You may need to purchase a license to enable SMDR on this PBX. Please speak to your system maintainer if you are unsure.

CIL access over Ethernet​

info

In addition to CIL access over V.24 ports, all Realitis DX and iSDX systems with firmware revision 6.0 and above can send their CIL information by Ethernet. The System/UPI card - ACI - only allows a maximum of three such connections; subsequent connection requests are rejected. To set up and activate this feature, a request must be made to Product Management at Siemens, Beeston.

Connecting to the CIL server​

TIM Plus establishes a TCP connection to the IP address of the System/UPI card of your Siemens phone system.

You can choose the IP address of the System/UPI card by setting the variable IPACT in the permanent database. Your local maintenance engineer should be able to program this address for you.

The default listening port is 17257.
