• Logging of call failures
ATM Change Management
The Nways Campus Manager ATM provides a quick way to download code
upgrades in the IBM ATM switches through the network (inband). Then it
allows easy problem fixes or function enhancements on the IBM ATM
switches that have the control point code.
ATM Network Monitoring and Statistics Management
The ATM Campus Manager application provides key performance counters.
Nways Campus Manager ATM allows you to collect statistical information
and display it in a more readable graphical format. Below is a list of some
of the different types of information that it can collect:
• Logging of calls
All calls, that is calls in progress and calls that have been cleared, on a
node can be logged with information, such as calling and called number,
creation time, clear time and clear cause.
• Traffic
Statistics on an interface
′
s traffic can be gathered with information, such
as received and transmit cells, discarded cells and invalid cells.
• Bandwidth
Information about the amount of bandwidth that is utilized on a port can
be found.
• Q2931 Status
Information on the incoming and outgoing calls in progress can be
collected.
• SAAL Errors
Information on the various errors detected by SAAL can be collected.
The data can be saved in a file as well. The availability of performance
information from the Nways Campus Manager ATM enhances the ATM
network by facilitating network tuning.
ATM Connection Tracking
Connections can be selected and tracked. The endpoints and all the
intermediate nodes used by a connection can be graphically displayed.
Nways Campus Manager ATM allows you to perform the following
connection tracking functions:
• List and delete SVCs
• Show the characteristics of SVCs, such as the calling and called party
and QoS parameters
• List, delete and create PVCs
• Show the characteristics of a PVC
• Track the connection including the VPI/VCI labels of each segment of the
connection and what physical ports the connection goes through
