Operational measurements and accounting
The Business Communications Manager collects operational measurement (OM) information from the UPS and saves the data in a log file. The OM information is viewed through the Unified Manager or archlog applications. The OM values can be reset using the Unified Manager. For further information on how to access logs using the Unified Manager, refer to the Management User Guide.
