This walkthrough provides an introduction to CDR2Cloud Authentication Code (Auth Code) feature and how to effectively use Auth Codes to identify which customer CDR calls should be billed to.

CDR files come in many different formats, sizes and field definition. Every PBX manufacturer has a different CDR file format, however we can safely say that every PBX produces a CDR file. CDR files are basically log files that contain a transnational record of calls that have been processed by your PBX. When operating a PBX there are basically 2 accepted ways of producing billing records, RADIUS and CDR files. CDR2Cloud allows you to easily produce billing records from your CDR files by reading each line in the CDR file and bill that line to a customer. You must however define the logic that will be used to associate that line from the CDR file to a customer, but you must first understand what data is in your CDR file and how it relates to your customer.
