Next, access the Sonus WebUI and navigate to "Auth and Directory Services → RADIUS → RADIUS Servers". Click on the "Green plus" button in the middle to add a new server.

Sonus SBC RADIUS Server

Configure the connection by providing the necessary details for our basic RADIUS call accounting server. In the "RADIUS Server" field, enter the IP address of the computer with our logger. The default port number is 1813. Choose any shared secret value.

If everything is set up correctly, the connectivity status should appear as "Up" on the "Auth and Directory Services → RADIUS → RADIUS Servers" page.

RADIUS specific settings in PBX Logger

Specify the shared secret word that you've configured in PBX in the PBX Logger settings (Configuration → Modules → Query Parse Filter → Setup).

RADIUS Server Shared Secret

Please note that our software can only decode accounting data. Therefore, if possible in the PBX settings, please disable the sending of authentication data to our basic RADIUS server.

Configuring Advanced PBX Data Logger as a UDP server

Advanced PBX Data Logger should be configured to the UDP server mode and listen on 0.0.0.0:1813 (see below). The IP address 0.0.0.0 allows receiving data from all network connections on your computer. The port number should match the value from the SMDR settings in your Sonus SBC [RADIUS,1000,2000].

1. Add a new configuration with the UDP data source (if you didn't it before).

2. Configure the IP settings as shown below.
