3.1 Capacity Planning Report

Capacity planning reports should answer questions such as “How busy is this device” or “Is this device being used at all?”

The following table describes the capacity planning report available from Analysis Center for CS1000 data. For more information, see the Configuration Card details for the report.

Report Name

Description

Nortel CS Volume Trend and Prediction

Displays the trend of call volume for IP phones. This report uses the total number of calls each day over the specified range of existing data. Use the Metric context controls to select the types of calls to include in the trend report.

Use the Group context controls to indicate whether you want to see trending data for all of your Signaling Servers or for an individual Signaling Server.

Once you select the report in the Navigation pane, select the Nortel Terminal Total Audio Setups metric. We recommend that you set the Parameters > PredictionDays property to less than 180. The larger this value, the longer it takes to calculate the individual prediction values. If you set the property to a value greater than 730, the report will fail.

You also can use this report to identify trends in trunk phone calls using the SIP and H.323 metrics.
