Before you read about the each type of report and its description, you need to 
understand that some of the reports refer to the DHCT administrative status.  

Each DHCT stored in the DNCS database has an associated administrative status, 
assigned through the Business Operations Support System (BOSS) Application 
Programming Interface (API). The administrative status can be set by the billing 
systems or through the DNCS Administrative Console.  

There are four DHCT administrative statuses. The DNCS would like the DHCT to be 
in one of the following administrative status states: 

 

Out of Service 

 

Deployment 

 

In Service-One Way 

 

In Service-Two Way 

Note: A DHCT whose upstream plant is not two-way mode capable will not 
function in two-way mode, even though its administrative status has been set to 
In Service-Two Way. 

 

Reports are categorized into three types: 

 

DNCS Database Reports (on page 16) collect data only from the DNCS 
database. 

 

SNMP Poll Reports (on page 19) poll DHCTs for information using SNMP 
(Simple Network Management Protocol). 

 

DNCS System Reports (on page 22) collect system information from the DNCS 
server. 

If you do not see data that you expect in a particular report, refer to the description 
for that report. It is possible that some filtering has been applied by the report that 
caused the expected data to be excluded.
