Monitoring System Activity and Performance

MONITORING SYSTEM ACTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE

The HiGain HDSL2 system provides the following maintenance screens for monitoring system activity and assessing performance.

The Monitor screens provide a graphical representation of circuit activity and allow initiation of loopbacks.

The Performance screens provide current, 25-hour, 48-hour, and 31-day performance histories and a continuous alarm history.

The Event Log provides a description of the 100 most recent events.

The Sectionalized Event Log screen displays events for all four legs of the H2TU-R DS1 interface.

USING THE MONITOR SCREEN TO VIEW SYSTEM ACTIVITY

1Press M to view the system diagram.

Figure 4 shows an armed circuit with an active loopback and alarms. Terms used on the system diagram are defined in the onscreen Help menu glossary. Abnormal situations are highlighted on the diagram. See Table 4 on page 11 for screen field descriptions.
