T1 Traffic Study with OTM 2.2 via IP 1

[pbxnewman]

Does anyone know how to capture the amount of traffic there is on the PRI with a given range of time? i.e. 9AM-5PM.

I tried using the data bufferring and access feature but I couldn't capture anything. Not sure if I have configured it correctly.

My goal is to determine if I can remove one of my 3 PRI cards and its service. I have my OTM server connected to our system via IP.

Traffic is in LD 2.

Thanks acewarlock. I am aware it is through LD 2. However it is not working for me. Think i am still doing something incorrectly. Would you be able to provide me a run down of the key steps I should take to atleast have it spit out a simple report? Please help!!!

Thanks!!

 

[acewarlock]

I don't have the traffic program in my OTM. I do it the old fashion way, 1 hour at a time. do you have the NTP's with LD 2 in it? It's easy to do but hard to explain here.

Let me confirm acewarlocks statement:

Here is me

>ld 2
TFC000
.sopc 0 3 4 -- 2 Setting customer report 2 - trunks
.sshc 0 01 01 31 12 -- just hitting enter because the dates were OK
08 17 3 -- again the hours are OK too
2 3 4 5 6 -- days were OK)
.copc 0 2 3 4 -- 2 OI "cleared report 2" since I don't want it
.topc 0 3 4 -- "Tell Options Customer = TOPC reponds with the report #3 aqnfd #4
.
TFC000
See? Easy as pie - and that was from memory

Thanks!!! But sorry guys... I still don't have it up yet. The following was what I tried.

sopc 0 2 NIL --
.sshc 0 20 2 24 2 20 02 24 02 --
00 23 3 --
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 --
.copc 0 2 2 --
.topc 0 2 NIL
.
TFC200

Based on this excel spreadsheet, I guess I should be looking for TFC002 for trunks in the report once I have it up an running right?

Any ideas?

Sorry worldwidedialtone, all I have is OTM general. I don't have access to Telemanagment. I can only use Data Buffering and Access.

Actually, that helps a lot. Note that that double dash - that is the point at which it is asking what "you" want to enter....so this is exactly what you want to see - anything more than your previopus post is my typing

sopc 0 2 NIL -- 2
.sshc 0 20 2 24 2 -- 01 01 31 12
00 23 3 -- 00 23 3
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -- 2 3 4 5 6
.copc 0 2 2 -- DO NOT PERFORM A COPC (that is "Clear Options Customer")
.topc 0 2 NIL will not appear unless you did a COPC
