Connect Samsung SCM to TIM4biz

Configure your Samsung SCM Compact (SCMC) or SCM Enterprise (SCME) phone system to deliver Call Detail Records (CDR) to the TIM4biz cloud over Secure FTP (SFTP) — then unlock 150+ call accounting reports.

SMDR configuration overview

TIM4biz collects CDR from Samsung SCM systems using Secure FTP (SFTP). This guide shows how to enable CDR output and point your SCM at the TIM4biz cloud server.

Before you begin: create your TIM4biz trial account at account sign up. We'll send you the SFTP host, username and password to use in the settings below.

Confirming the SCM sent the CDR file

After a call is logged, the Samsung SCM sends its CDR report to the SFTP server every minute. When there are no new calls, no report is sent.

  1. Check the SCM history. Successful transmissions appear in History Status; failures appear in History Fault. SCM admin > Performance > Fault > History > History Status
    Samsung SCM — History Status
    SCM admin > Performance > Fault > History > History Fault
    Samsung SCM — History Fault
  2. Confirm the cloud server received the CDR file. TIM4biz provides direct access to the SFTP SMDR collector so you can view and confirm each file received from the Samsung SCM. Use the free WinSCP application.
