opt 11 traffic reports

[jazwinner]

Is there a way to obtain very basic trunk traffic info (peak busy, hourly peg counts, etc.) without investing in 3rd party applications? This is not for long-term useage, rather to gauge if we need more circuits on some point-to-points? Thanks!

a traffic study in ld 2 is very basic and included in the box.. most providers will give you a single traffic study per year at no cost.. here's a good way to cheat IF you use procomm.. just use a simple script that loops and stats your trunks once every 5 minutes.. save that to an excel, use a macro to turn that into a graph.. or just get percentage of busy with raw data..

if you have procomm and want to go that way, i can post a short script if it will help

John, GREAT! Thank you -

Yes, any direction/assistance would be greatly appreciated (I'm versed in Alcatel/Mitel/Rockwell, but really don't know my way around the Nortel. Any command/scripting tips, please send this way!

Thanks again,

here's a short and simple script.. log in then run it.. 24 hours later press escape.. then close the capture file.. IF you have analog trunks, post the tn of the anaolog trunk card and i will include those. i am cert in about a dozen switches (some are obsolete) and you have to agree.. nortel is very unique..

proc main

	pause 2
	transmit "ld 60^M"
	
	capture on
	
	loop:
	waitfor ". "
	
	transmit "stat^M"
	
	pause 300
	
	goto loop
	
endproc

i use scripts in any switch i play with, i've used them forever.. maybe because i to lazy to type.. if you play with nortel much, record a script or two and edit it.. they save me hours.. we have posted a lot in this forum.. if you need one for a job, just ask, one of us will usually have one to share..
