CMS measurements
This monitoring technique measures traffic patterns and times on calls and
compares them to traffic counts and time limit thresholds. An exceptions log is
maintained whenever the traffic counts or time limits exceed the preset
thresholds.
For Communication Manager, MultiVantage™ Software, DEFINITY ECS and
DEFINITY G1 and G3:
■ Use change trunk-group to display the Trunk Group screen.
■ In the Measured field, enter external if you have only CMS or both if you
have BCMS and CMS.
■ To generate reports, use cms reports.
For DEFINITY G2:
■ Use PROC115 WORD1 FIELD5 to specify incoming or two-way
measurements by CMS.
■ Set up time limits and count thresholds on CMS (Trunk Group Exceptions).
Exceptions are reported to designated CMS terminals (User Permissions:
Trunk Group Access). CMS keeps a log of exceptions (Real-Time
Exception Log, Historical Report: Trunk Group Exceptions).
