Title

The Unified Communications Endpoint must be configured to provide session (call detail) record generation capability. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Session records are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Unified Communications Endpoints are not capable of providing session records and instead rely on session management and border elements. Unified Communications Endpoints capable of producing session records provide supplemental confirmation of monitored events. Unified Communications Endpoints that communicate beyond these defined environments must generate session records. Session records for Voice Video systems are generally handled in a similar fashion to audit records for other systems and are used for billing, usage analysis, and record support for actions taken. Detailed records are typically produced by the session manager but can be augmented by nontelephone endpoint records.
