links. This report lists the measurements for all calls, intercom calls, incoming trunk calls, outgoing trunk calls, and tandem calls for each port network.

All of these measurements are accessible to an external host via the operation support system interface.

G3 Management Applications Reports and Data

Acquisition Utilities

Through the G3-Management Applications, which run on UNIXWARE-based per- sonal computers, DEFINITY ECS supports reporting and data acquisition not available through the switch-based reports. This supports the consolidation and formatting functions that large organizations need. When excess data surpass a multiple-screen display capability, the ranging, sorting, and filtering capability provided by standard report-generation programs allows to restrict reports to only the desired data. The data acquisition feature supports two capabilities:

■The ability to collect data from the switch via the operation support system interface

■The ability to use personal computer-based software, such as standard database programs or report-generation packages, to create custom reports from G3-Management Applications

For the G3-Management Applications reporting capability, data from selected switch-based reports is accessible on the G3-Management Applications in stan- dard personal computer file format (such as ASCII G3-Management Applica- tions). G3-Management Applications reporting allows you to do the following:

■Create files of switch data on the personal computer in a format compatible with available report-generation programs, such as Informix.

■Substitute the DEFINITY ECS-generated field headers with customer-defined headers

■Administer the file format, including which character to use as a field separator (space, comma, etc.) and which characters to use as a field value delimiter (quotes, no character, etc.)

ECS Reports Generator

The ECS Reports Generator is an easy to use, graphical reporting tool that does the following:

■Maintains a location database of all the systems managed (in addition to the DEFINITY ECS, it supports Lucent Technologies System 75, G1 and G3 systems)

■Provides automated connections via pre-defined scripts to the various systems
