UCC Dashboard in the WebUI

The UCC dashboard gives a complete view of the UCC deployment in the controller. The UCC dashboard has

two levels of displaying statistics:

l UCC Dashboard Aggregated Display

l UCC Dashboard Per Client Display

UCC Dashboard Aggregated Display

The UCC Dashboard Aggregated Display shows an aggregated view of the UCC calls made in the controller. The

administrator can see a top level view of the call quality assessment, and further drill-down into a specific view

based on the analysis required.

Chart View

Navigate to Dashboard > UCC. The UCC page displays the overall health (in graphical format) of the UCC

deployment in the controller as shown in Figure 200.

Figure 200 UCC Dashboard

Each graphical section of the UCC dashboard is explained below:

n Call Volume – This graph displays the total number of calls made based on the UCC application type.

For example, SIP, Skype4B, SCCP, H.323, NOE, SVP, VOCERA, Wi-Fi calling, and FaceTime.

n Call Quality – This graph displays the AP-to-Client call quality under the WLAN tab and the end-to-end

quality including wired and wireless legs of the call under the End-to-End tab. The number of UCC calls

are categorized by the following call quality:
