Modem/DSU Commands

Trending Reports (tr)

(Disruptive Based on Test Type)

Use the tr command to obtain a trending report for one or more of the tests listed below. Trending reports are used to review the performance of specified devices through scheduled repeated network testing. A single network test is specified, along with the number of test iterations and time intervals between iterations. The trend is then scheduled to run on specific days and times.

Trending reports can be used for intense short-term testing to determine the failure rates of problem devices, or for long-term testing to examine device degradation over time. The multiple test results of each trend are displayed as a single set of graphic or tabular results.

Trending reports can be run for the following tests:

Automatic Network Test (ant)

Call Fault Read (cfr)

Circuit Loss Inbound (cli)

Circuit Loss Outbound (clo)

Circuit Quality (cq)

Device Test (det)

Digital Test (dit)

End-to-End Test (eet)

Modem Bit Error Rate Test (mbert)

Offline Test (ot)

Receive Signal Level (rsl)

Receive Signal Quality (rsq)

Signal Profile (sp)

NOTE

Depending on the test specified for trending, the number of devices to which the test is to be sent, and the number of iterations specified per test, the trending report may not be able to complete successfully due to system space limitations.

If this situation occurs while the trending report is being executed, the trending report transaction will automatically be canceled; the user will be sent mail notifying him of the cancellation. The user can attempt to run the trending report again, but should specify fewer devices or fewer iterations of the test in the trending reports input form.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
