links. This report lists the measurements for all calls, intercom calls, 
incoming trunk calls, outgoing trunk calls, and tandem calls for each port 
network.

All of these measurements are accessible to an external host via the operation 
support system interface.

Through the G3-Management Applications, which run on UNIXWARE-based per-
sonal computers, DEFINITY ECS supports reporting and data acquisition not 
available through the switch-based reports. This supports the consolidation and 
formatting functions that large organizations need. When excess data surpass a 
multiple-screen display capability, the ranging, sorting, and filtering capability 
provided by standard report-generation programs allows to restrict reports to 
only the desired data. The data acquisition feature supports two capabilities:

■

The ability to collect data from the switch via the operation support system 
interface

■

The ability to use personal computer-based software, such as standard 
database programs or report-generation packages, to create custom 
reports from G3-Management Applications

For the G3-Management Applications reporting capability, data from selected 
switch-based reports is accessible on the G3-Management Applications in stan-
dard personal computer file format (such as ASCII G3-Management Applica-
tions). G3-Management Applications reporting allows you to do the following:

■

Create files of switch data on the personal computer in a format 
compatible with available report-generation programs, such as Informix.

■

Substitute the DEFINITY ECS-generated field headers with 
customer-defined headers

■

Administer the file format, including which character to use as a field 
separator (space, comma, etc.) and which characters to use as a field 
value delimiter (quotes, no character, etc.)

The ECS Reports Generator is an easy to use, graphical reporting tool that does 
the following: 

■

Maintains a location database of all the systems managed (in addition to 
the DEFINITY ECS, it supports Lucent Technologies System 75, G1 and 
G3 systems)

■

Provides automated connections via pre-defined scripts to the various 
systems
