Features and Benefits
Real-Time Visualization of the Unified Communications System
Cisco Unified Operations Manager presents the current operational status of the Cisco Unified
Communications system through real-time service-level views of the network. The Alerts and
Events Display, IP Phone Status Display and Service Quality Alerts Display present the up-to-date
fault status of monitored devices, applications, and phones. Drill-down views show the operational
status of each element and its interrelationships with other elements of the solution along with the
status of logical entities such as trunk groups and route lists.
Saves Time by Auto learning and Effectively Monitoring Your Unified Communications
Network
Cisco Unified Operations Manager automatically discovers the network and updates its knowledge
base by identifying the role of every device and application in the Unified Communications
network. It monitors the discovered network elements to detect faults using its built-in intelligence
to immediately alert network managers through alerts and events. From alerts and event displays,
network administrators can launch context-sensitive tools for each alert and event to troubleshoot
the fault. The IP Phone status display, for example, can provide information about a phone’s
switch, switch port, serial number, application load, and so on, allowing administrators to locate the
phone and further troubleshoot the problems.
Cisco Unified Operations Manager also reports the per phone voice quality degradation through its
Service Quality Alerts dashboard.
Proactively Tests Your Unified Communications Network Every Single Day
Cisco Unified Operations Manager comes with a powerful set of diagnostic tests that can be
executed on demand or on a scheduled basis for proactive network health monitoring and trouble
isolation. The phone tests run in batch mode to bulk test the features on multiple phones. This test
can validate the phone’s features such as call, call hold, call park, call transfer, and conference.
The synthetic tests serve to proactively test user activities such as getting a dial tone, making
phone calls, leaving voice mail, and creating or joining conference calls. Dial-plan tests provide an
easy mechanism to test and validate all the dial plans. The node-to-node tests use the services of
the Cisco IOS
®
Software IP service-level agreement (SLA) in Cisco routers to simulate traffic in the
network and determine network characteristics such as reachability status, response time, latency,
jitter, packet loss, and network quality.
