Traffic Measurement and Reporting
The Traffic Measurement (TM) feature provides a method of recording the traffic in a Strata CIX
system and a method of reporting the system traffic statistics to a system administrator. System
traffic statistics are mandatory for the system administrator to both monitor the effectiveness of the
system and determine whether the system is over dimensioned, under dimensioned, or has improper
traffic balance.
The TM function can measure and report the following categories of measurement objects:
•
Outgoing Line Groups (OLG) - Up to 64 groups
•
Incoming Line Groups (ILG) - Up to 64 groups
•
DID numbers (DID) - Up to 130 numbers
•
DTMF Receivers (DTMF)
•
Conference Trunk Circuits (Conf)
•
Each report will also contain a System Total summary
Feature Initialization
The system administrator sets Traffic Measurements and Reporting using eManager to execute
system commands. The following items are specified:
•
Time Zones – Start and Stop Times
•
Measurement Objects – Line Groups, Stations, System Resources
•
Reporting Specification –
•
Unit of traffic intensity – Erlang or CCS
In time zones setting, the system administrator sets starting time (from 0 to 23 o'clock) and end time
(from 1 to 24 o'clock). For example, if system administrator specifies 9 as start time and 16 as end
time, the system begins measurement at 09:00:00 and finish at 16:59:59. The system provides up to
three time zones, but overlapping time zones is not allowed. A time zone across two days is not
allowed, either. Time zones are defined per attribute (Working Day / Non-Working Day / Holiday)
in Programs 106, 112 and 113 (eManager: Advanced Configuration > System > Day Night Service).
System administrator must specify one tenant number for Traffic Measurement and Reporting
feature.; Program 921 (eManager: Advanced Configuration > System > IO Device)
In the measurement objects setting, the system administrator defines "activate" or "deactivate" as
the measurement object per group (e.g. ILG1, ILG2, OLG2, OLG3).
TM output is set to LAN port or serial I/O port. When the CIX has a SM or SD card inserted the
statistics are also output to a folder named "TRAFFIC" in it. When the SD/SM card in present the
TM will be sent to the output port and the TRAFFIC folder on the SSD/SM card. When the traffic
folder on the SD/SM card is full the next TM file will over-write the oldest file in the folder.
In unit of traffic intensity setting, the system administrator selects "Erlang" of "CCS" as unit of
traffic intensity in reporting. Refer to
