Monitoring and Testing

Performance Reports

Use the Performance Statistics screen to access performance reports for the

DSU/CSU.

When the network interface is configured for ESF operation, network performance is continuously monitored and maintained in two sets of aggregate registers: Carrier Network Interface Registers (Telco) and User Network Interface Registers (User). The User registers contain an extra status register (Status). Registers are listed in Table 5-3. These registers are status registers that collect performance data for the previous 24-hour period. Performance data is updated in 15-minute intervals. After 15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a set of accumulator registers that represent the previous 96 15-minute intervals for the register. An interval total of how many of the 96 registers contain valid data is also kept, as well as a 24-hour total for each accumulator register.

Port performance is continuously monitored and maintained in memory registers when the port is configured to use EDL. The DSU/CSU maintains two sets of port registers for each synchronous data port: far-end port registers and near-end port registers. These registers are status registers that collect performance data for the previous 8-hour period. Port data is updated in 15-minute intervals. After

15 minutes, the current interval is rolled over into a set of accumulator registers that represent the previous 32 15-minute intervals for the register. An interval total of how many of the 32 registers contain valid data is also kept, as well as a 8-hour total for each accumulator register.

You can reset the performance registers via the Clear Statistics selection on the Performance Statistics screen.

"Procedure

To display performance reports:

1.From the Main Menu screen, select Status.

2.From the Status screen, select Performance Statistics.

3.From the Performance Statistics screen, select either Network or Sync Data Ports depending on the type of statistics that you want to view.
