Saving Operational Information

Note: If data compression is being used, an extra line will be displayed on the Connection Monitor screen that will provide the compression and decompression ratios, and the estimated throughput. The estimated throughput is calculated as follows:

est. thruput (in Kbits/second) = [(uncmp bits + undmp bits)/sample period)]/1000

Where uncmp bits = the number of uncompressed bits undmp bits = the number of undecompressed bits sample period = configured length of the sample period

THROUGHPUT MONITOR CONTENTS

#1. Indicates the site name for the connected site that was selected on the Connection Monitor screen.

#2. Indicates the current bandwidth in place to the connected site. This number will be updated as calls are added or released.

#3. Example of three samples where actual bandwidth utilization was around 95% and underload was not being monitored (probably because only one connection was in place). In this example, overload is occurring on all three samples.

#4. Example of three samples where actual bandwidth utilization was around 70% and underload was being monitored at around 25% utilization of current bandwidth. In this example, overload is occurring on all three samples.

#5. Example of three samples where actual bandwidth utilization was around 10% and underload was being monitored at around 25% utilization of current bandwidth. In this example, underload is occurring on all three samples.

#6. Example of three samples where actual bandwidth utilization was around 25% and underload was being monitored at around 10% utilization of current bandwidth. In this example, neither overload nor underload is occurring.

From the Throughput Monitor screen, press:

fTo freeze the current throughput monitor display.

rTo resume the display of throughput monitor samples.

<esc> To exit the Throughput Monitor and return to the Connection Monitor screen.

SAVING OPERATIONAL INFORMATION

The following commands are used to save system operational information to disk:

wr

Writes the current system messages to disk file.
