Call Fault Criteria (cfc)

Use the cfc command to set the parameters to monitor no answer (displayed as non-answeringon screen) and short holding time faults in DATAPHONE II and COMSPHERE 3800 Series modems.

The no answer (NA) fault is caused when too many calls within a call sample (a user-defined number of calls) go unanswered. When the cfc command is executed, the Shared Diagnostic Unit (SDU) begins a continuous count of all incoming calls. When the number of incoming calls matches the user-defined call sample number, the SDU determines if an acceptable number of calls have been answered. If not, a no answer fault is created.

If the connection between two DDD modems drops before a useful exchange of information can take place, a short holding time (HT) fault is created. When the cfc command is executed, the SDU continuously counts all control modem calls that enter the Data mode and the length of time they remain in that mode. When the number of incoming calls matches the user-defined call sample number, the SDU determines the average call length. If the average call length is unacceptable, a short holding time fault is created.

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.

Call Fault Criteria Input Forms

There are two pages for the Call Fault Criteria input form.

Page 1

Page 1 enables you to identify the device(s) for which call fault criteria will be established.

This input form contains the following fields:

Device(s) (Required field)

Enter the DDD modem or SDU for which the call fault criteria will be displayed. If an SDU is specified, all eight modems overseen by it will be set with the same criteria specified in this field. One or more devices may be specified. Standard addressing format applies to the input. For information on device addressing, refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.
