Traffic Analysis on M! 3

[brgf11]

Hi all,

We have a PBX where it is possible we have congestion on PSTN lines causing call failure.
Does anyone have an idiot-proof (aka Jimbo-proof) guide as to how to set up traffic stats, print them and 'decode' them.
I have tried using the NTPs, but without success.
Or is this something that should only be attempted by an experienced eng?

Many thanks

OOps, Above should read congestion on OUTGOING PSTN lines
Apologies

not an eng function, just go to load 2 and turn the traffic on, then the printouts are expalined in the ld 2 manual.

Also set up a tty with TRF. You will need a printer on that tty or something to capture the traffic reports. The reports will be output hourly if that is what you choose. Dpending on the reports selected it will give you a peg count on how many calls hit each trunk route. This will also have a line for all trunks busy. Nortel has a seperate NTP just for traffic.

If you have call accounting software in place, it may also have readily available reports with similar info...

the best way to play with those reports is to capture them to a file, open that with excel, then build a macro that turns it into a graph.. very clean very quick and a simple macro with the newer versions of excel

Has several Traffic spread sheets that can help.
