MONITORING PERFORMANCE

Each Dual Trunk E1 Router collects and displays performance data as well as additional parameters to help you troubleshoot problems. To manage and monitor the Dual Trunk E1 Router, use Menu-3, Reports, to display the unit’s performance reports, which are described further in this chapter.

Additionally, reports on overall link utilization over a variety of intervals are available from Menu 3.

Displaying Performance Reports

Several types of performance reports are available. Select a report in Menu-3, Reports. Type the corresponding letter or use the up and down arrow keys to move through the menu and press Return to select the report.

The first two reports display the carrier and user registers respectively. The carrier registers are the same as those reported over the FDL in response to FDL requests and can be cleared only by the carrier.

NOTE: The maximum error count displayed in performance reports is 65,535.

The actual value may be higher.

Table 9-1and Table 9-2provide a comprehensive list of events and descriptions used in the Performance Reports. For more information, see Menu 3 and its sub menus.
