administrators can control who uses terminal translat ion initialization — and
when.
Scheduling
DEFINITY ECS’s functional scheduling allows you to specify the time a command
will be executed or to specify that it should be executed on a periodic basis. Only
commands that do not require user interaction after being ent ering on the com-
mand line (such as list, display, test) can be scheduled.
DEFINITY ECS also supports scheduling of “one shot” requests — commands
that are executed only once and then removed from the s cheduling queue auto-
matically by the feature, such as

save translation

commands.
Functional scheduling enhances administration. For example, s cheduling of save
translations is particularly important when large numbers of translation changes
are made during the day, ensuring that they will be saved to tape at the specified
time. The “one shot” report is particularly useful for scheduling large print jobs at
night that are normally run only once.
Basic Reporting
DEFINITY ECS has built-in capabilities for generating reports required for sm all,
medium, and large systems. These reports are available without speci al hard-
ware or software.
System Measurements reports supply information on the sta tus of all communi-
cation facilities. These reports help determine the efficien cy of resources, includ-
ing but not limited to trunk groups, hunt groups, and the attendant group.
System Status reports supply information associated with the attendant gr oup,
major and minor alarms, and traffic measurements.
■The Recent Change History feature reports on the most recent
administration and maintenance commands entered. DEFINITY ECS also
supplies:
— New site data on the station form. New fields include the set color,
building, floor, and headset. In addition, user-defined validation
checks are provided for a subset of the site data items.
— Scaling enhancements, as well as a ranging and filtering capability,
for large switches. These allow your system admi nistrator to restrict
data reporting to only the desired amount of switch parameters.
DEFINITY ECS also includes the following reports:
■Class-of-Restriction report lists the extensions that have a particular Class
of Restriction value or that fall within a range of Class of Restriction values.
