Viewing the list of Lync Clients
Use the following command to display details of clients that are actively using Lync. An entry is created for
clients that have actively participated in voice, video, desktop-sharing, or file-sharing sessions.
(host) #show ucc client-info app lync
Viewing Call Detail Record for Lync Calls
Use the following command to view the Call Detail Record for Lync calls on the controller. This command
displays the last 128 call records for W-600 Series controller platform and 512 call records for rest of the
controller platforms.
(host) #show ucc call-info cdrs app lync
Viewing Call Quality for Lync Calls
Use the following command to view the call quality information for Lync voice and video calls.
(host) #show ucc call-info cdrs detail
Viewing Lync Call Trace Buffer
Use the following command to display the Lync message trace buffer for the first 256 events. Events such as
establishing voice, video, desktop sharing, and file transfer are recorded.
(host) #show ucc trace-buffer lync
Viewing Lync ALG Statistics Using the WebUI
This section describes the procedures to view Lync ALG statistics using the WebUI.
