Configuring CyReport - Using CyReport Server

The principle purpose of the CyReport Server is to download data from the PABX on a regular basis, interpret this data and enter it into the CyReport database.  A secondary purpose on CyReport Server is to act as a license server for other CyReport applications. 

Since this program is mostly run as a service, it's functionality is available from the CyReport Manager program.   

Access to this screen is available via start Reported Manager  Call Logging.
