CBR virtual circuits must be present in the database in order to view these statistics.

Total Cells Received - The total number of cells received over the virtual circuit.

Total Cells Transmitted - The total number of cells transmitted over the virtual circuit.

Data Bytes To (structured data ports only) - The data bytes to the cell bus. Use this value to set the DBA Bits Mask CBR port parameter. In most cases, the default DBA Bits Mask (127) is appropriate. If you are experiencing problems with a CCS circuit, however, you can set the DBA Bits Mask to monitor different bits. Check the Data Bytes To value, and set the DBA Bits Mask to that value.

When you check the data bytes, you must first make sure that the circuit is in an idle state (phone onhook). If you cannot access the equipment to see whether or not the circuit is in idle, then check the data bytes for at least 30 seconds (about seven updates). If the Data Bytes To value remains the same for 30 seconds or more, it is safe to assume that the circuit is in an idle state.

2 .   Select the option corresponding to the type of statistics you want to view: [1] Performance Monitoring, [2] Virtual Circuit Statistics, or [3] Port Activity Statistics.

If you select [2] VC Statistics, an additional screen appears from which you must select the virtual circuit for which you want to view statistics.

Voice Compression Module Performance Monitoring Statistics

The VCM Performance Monitoring screens display the following statistics:

ES - The number of errored seconds (ESs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

SES - The number of severely-errored seconds (SESs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

SEFS - The number of severely errored framing seconds (SEFSs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

UAS - The number of unavailable seconds (UASs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

CSS - The number of controlled slip seconds (CSSs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

PCV - The number of path coding violations (PCVs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

LES - The number of line errored seconds (LESs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

BES - The number of bursty errored seconds (BESs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

DM - The number of degraded minutes (DMs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

LCV - The number of line coding violations (LCVs) encountered by the VCM T1-DSX/E1 interface

Voice Compression Module VC Statistics

Voice compression module VC statistics are frame and byte counts since the last counter reset. On the VCM VC Statistics window, you can reset the counter by entering c. VC statistics are displayed as a list rather than a table. The VCM T1-DSX and VCM E1 VC Statistics screens display the following statistics:

Received Frames - The total number of frames received over the virtual circuit

Transmitted Frames - The total number of frames transmitted over the virtual circuit

AAL5 Errors - The total number of invalid frames (received with good FCS but could not be processed due to wrong content) received over the virtual circuit

Discarded Congested Frames - The total number of frames received over the virtual circuit that were discarded due to congestion (not transmitted due to link congestion)

Voice Compression Module Port Activity Statistics

The VCM Port Activity Statistics screen displays the following statistics for each channel.

Ch - DS0 channel number

Tx packets - The number of transmitted packets

Rx packets - The number of received packets

Tx bytes - The number of transmitted bytes

Rx bytes - The number of received bytes
