PBXDom
Before configuring file accounting
This historical reference explains IOS gateway call-detail accounting. Standalone gateways are not currently accepted for new PBXDom connections. This reference lists Cisco IOS 12.4(20)T or later as its prerequisite; confirm the exact gateway, software version, and collector requirements with your administrator.
Commands below are syntax references, not a ready-to-paste configuration. Replace parameter names with your own values. Braces group alternatives; the vertical bar separates choices.
