Table: Field Definitions: Traffic Snapshot Monthly Screen
| Field Name |
Description/Procedure |
| Connection Type: |
The type of network connection:
- Digital = rs232, dcp, or tcp/ip
- Analog = amis or fax
|
| Date: |
The month of the traffic data; either the month you entered on the command line or the current month. |
| Ending Time: |
The month and day the system stopped collecting data. |
| TRAFFIC TOTAL |
| MESSAGES, Sent |
The total number of messages that the local machine sent to all remote machines with this connection type. |
| MESSAGES, Received |
The total number of messages that the local machine received from all remote machines with this connection type. |
| UPDATES, Out |
The total number of updates that the local machine sent to all remote machines (for digital connection types only). Examples of updates are name, extension, community ID. |
| UPDATES, In |
The total number of updates that the local machine received from all remote machines (for digital connection types only). Examples of updates are name, extension, community ID. |
| TRNSFR SESS, Prime |
The total number of transfer sessions with this connection type that occurred during prime time. |
| TRNSFR SESS, Non-P |
The total number of transfer sessions with this connection type that occurred before or after prime time. |
| % USAGE, Prime |
The total percentage of usage for this connection type that occurred during prime time. This percentage is the sum of all machine usage. (See the % USAGE, Prime field below.) |
| % USAGE, Non-P |
The total percentage of usage for this connection type that occurred before or after prime time. This percentage is the sum of all machine usage. (See the % USAGE, Non-P field below.) |
| Machine Name |
The name of each remote machine. |
| MESSAGES, Sent |
The number of messages that the local machine sent to the remote machine. |
| MESSAGES, Rec'd |
The number of messages that the local machine received from the remote machine. |
| UPDATES, Out |
The number of updates that the local machine sent to the remote machine. |
| UPDATES, In |
The number of updates that the local machine received from the remote machine. |
| TRNSFR SESS, Prime |
The number of transfer sessions that occurred during prime time. |
| TRNSFR SESS, Non-P |
The number of transfer sessions that occurred before or after prime time. |
| % USAGE, Prime |
The percentage of time the machine used the network during prime time. The system calculates this percentage by (1) multiplying the number of prime time hours by the number of ports (2) and then dividing the total usage by the result of step 1. (The system gets the total usage from the Remote Messages Daily Traffic report.) |
| % USAGE, Non-P |
The percentage of time the machine used the network before or after prime time. The system uses the same formula for calculating prime and nonprime time usages. However, for this field, it uses nonprime time hours. |
