Overview

CDR Assistant Tool is an assistant tool developed based on the UCM platform with trend network UCM630x series. The tool provides users with convenient and fast CDR backup data analysis, query, and filtering operations, to prevent users from inconvenient use of CDR data packets, which causes difficulty in data search, CSV file format affects reading, and easy data loss. Users only need to download the CDR View Assistant tool to import and query CDR data, which greatly improves the operation’s work efficiency and maintains its easy management.

  • Support CDR data retention on the tool side and can still be viewed next time if it is opened.
