Section 1:

Preparation

The preparation required for each type of switch is described in this section.

1.1.

Server preparation for the Traffic Analyst Installer

Make sure Internet Information Services (IIS), IIS 7 for windows 2008 is installed on the Traffic Analyst server.

Make sure .NET Framework 3.5 is installed on the Traffic Analyst server.

Windows 2008 R2 need to “Start” the Application Pool for ASP .NET V2.0 Also “Enable 32-Bit

Applications, this must be set to True. This is set in IIS Application Pool under Advance Settings.

1.2.

Siemens HiPath 4000

1.2.1.

Pre-Installation Notes

For the Siemens HiPath 4000, Traffic Analyst will pull CDR data from the Unix-side of the switch. The software will configure the HiPath for data collection. For a list of AMO that will be configured please contact Impact Technologies Helpdesk. Data collection and switch configuration uses a TCP/IP connection.

Go to Section 2 titled “ Traffic Analyst Software Instructions” . To use this setup you will need the following:

Access to a PC that is on the same network as the switch

Switch IP Address

Switch Password required

Browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) on the PC

1.3.

Siemens OpenScape Voice

1.3.1.


For an OpenScape Voice switch, you may need to configure the switch to prepare CDR data for Traffic Analyst. This is the case if you have more than one OpenScape Voice switch, or if your OpenScape Voice switch is networked with a HiPath 4000 switch.

Go to your OpenScape Voice Common Management Portal, which you access via a browser. Log in as “Administrator” with your password. Once you access the software, go to the OpenScape Voice tab.

Next, select the “Administration” option under the OpenScape Voice tab.

You can check the fields on the Options tab, but they don’t normally need to be changed.

The default of 30 days for the data retention period is good unless you are worried about disk space and want to lower it. Normally, Traffic Analyst will collect this data daily regardless, so this data retention period here is only helpful if Traffic Analyst hasn’t collected for some reason and needs to go back and get older data.

Select “OK” when you are finished.

It is recommended that you set up customer IDs for each business group. For instruction on how to do this, please continue reading the next section.

1.3.1.1.

Creating Customer IDs for Business Groups (optional)

Creating Customer Identification numbers for each business group will allow you to sort report data by business group.

To edit this information, select “Business Group” from under the OpenScape Voice tab.

Next, select a business group from the list presented by clicking the business group’s name.

In the

General tab of the Business Group window, find the “Message Detail Records” section at the bottom of the screen. Complete the “Customer Identification” field by entering a string of numbers by which you will identify this business group in reports.

Note: Each business group is not required to have a unique Customer ID. Unique IDs are useful for sorting by business group in reports, however there may be times when you want two or more business groups tied to the same Customer ID. For instance, if you have a site that requires using two business groups and you want to identify the site as a whole in the report, it is acceptable to give both groups the same ID.

Select the “Activate” checkbox to activate the customer identification for this business group.

Click “OK” when you are finished to save your changes.

1.4.

Instructions for allowing Traffic Analyst API access to the

OpenScape Voice Switch

Configuring the OSV to allow access by Traffic Analyst requires using the command line interface of the OSV. This is started by running the command line interface (CLI) which is started by running the command “startCli”. Su – srx, sysad. The person following these instructions must know how to log into the SSH shell of the OSV and have all the user names and passwords required to use the CLI. Impact Technologies cannot supply the passwords for a customer site. In the example below, the freeware tool “PUTTY” is used for the SSH connection.

Once a SSH connection is established and the correct user name and password entered, a system prompt (probably “#”) appears. Enter “su – srx”. Another system prompt then appears (probablye “$” this time). At this point enter “startCli”. Any entry message with a “Login:” prompt something like the image below should appear.

Siemens HiPath 3000/Hicom 150

1.5.1.

Pre-Installation Action Items

For these switches, Traffic Analyst does not actually poll the data as in making a connection to the switch and getting data. Instead the switch constantly sends data that

Traffic Analyst will retrieve. Once a day Traffic Analyst processes the previous day’s data, in addition to hourly data processing.

Traffic Analyst will retrieve data from the switch, HiPath Manager or HiPath 5000 RSM.

If retrieving the data directly from the switch, you will use a TCP/IP connection. If

U I D E retrieving the data from HiPath Manager or HiPath 5000 RSM, you may use a TCP/IP connection or network file access. If you will be retrieving data from HiPath Manager or

HiPath 5000 RSM via TCP/IP, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) must be used.

If the data is sent via TCP/IP connection, the TCP/IP protocol must be unimpeded. In particular no router, firewall, or other network device should restrict use. Ask your network administrator for further details.

Note:

Consoles and Console Groups are not supported.

If retrieving data from the switch, HiPath Manager, or HiPath 5000 RSM, there are settings that must be configured on Hicom Assistant or HiPath Manager or before Traffic

Analyst can poll.

Note:

Siemens Hicom 150 is administered by Hicom Assistant or HiPath Manager.

Siemens HiPath 3000 is administered by HiPath Manager.

Note: Only OfficeCom and OfficePro are supported when using Hicom Assistant.

Below are the settings for Hicom Assistant or HiPath Manager.

1.6.

Siemens Hicom 300E and 9751 Models 30 and 80

1.6.1.


Note: For normal data collection, Traffic Analyst will poll the Siemens Hicom 300 switches and 9751 Model 30 and 80 switches once a day, usually in the early morning hours. Up to ten days of data may be stored and available on the UNIX partition of the switch.

Note: For CDR data collection, available only with the web-based version of Traffic Analyst and the purchase of the CDR module, Traffic Analyst will retrieve data from a buffer box once or more than once per hour.

Note: If the switch is a Siemens 9006.6

there will already be an FTP user name and password defined. Username = tal and password = tal, and will be used only if Traffic

Analyst will be connecting to the switch using

TCP/IP

(LAN connection).

Note: Traffic Analyst can alternately connect using

TCP/IP

to a Siemens

9006.6

switch under the following conditions:

1.

The switch must have a network daughter board installed and LAN connectivity configured and enabled.

2.

The TCP/IP protocol must be unimpeded between the Traffic Analyst system and the Switch. In particular no router, firewall, or other network device should restrict the use of the well-known FTP ports. Ask your network administrator for further details.

Note: If previous traffic studies

have been run using BELAU, you should delete these studies before polling with Traffic Analyst. Use the AMO “belin” to delete these studies.

1.6.2.

Installation Instructions

As you complete each of the following activities, put a check mark in the box next to each of the following items:

1.6.2.1.

Confirming the Switch Software Release

Software release

9006.3 with SMR6

or a later version must be installed on the switch. The software release must be installed on the switch before Traffic Analyst can poll. Confirm that the software is installed on the switch.

1.6.2.2.

Obtain Switch Username & Password

Obtain the switch user name and password that must be defined and available for Traffic

Analyst to log-on to the switch. The username and password must provide access to the

"UDSC" menu and contain the LTDR (List Traffic Data Retrieval) option. It is OK if other menu options also appear. Suggested to use the rsca username.

1.6.2.3.

Running the AMO Command

The following AMO command should be performed on the RMX side of the switch unless the switch is a Siemens 9006.6

. This command starts up LTDR and the associated traffic metering on the switch: exec-xapc:A1,"act.ltdr -save 10";

The number 10 in the above command represents the number of days of traffic data that will be stored on the Unix partition of the switch. It can be a value from 1 to 10. If there is any concern that the Unix partition on the switch may be low on disk space, then reduce this number to 3. Please note that in the above command, there are spaces between “ltdr” and the

“–save”, and again between “-save” and “10”. The command does end with a semi-colon.

If the switch is a Siemens

9006.6

, LTDR is automatically on and set to store 10 days by default.

1.6.2.4.

Obtaining a Serial Connection to the Switch

Obtain a Unix switch serial port that will be available for the traffic server to use. If you are using your switch’s LAN connection, then see below. Traffic can use a dial-up or direct connection.

Traffic will connect with the switch once a day, usually in the early morning, for approximately 20 minutes to an hour. The connection to the Traffic computer can be over a modem (US Robotics

Sportster 56K is recommended), a data line or via direct RS-232 cable. Traffic can work with

LeeMah keys, if they are in place.

Note: When the above activities are done, go to the section entitled “Traffic Analyst

Software Installation”.

1.7.

Siemens 9751 Models 10, 40, 50, 70 and ROLM 9000

1.7.1.


For these switches, Traffic Analyst will poll once a day, usually in the early morning hours for the previous day’s data. The day’s data consists of interval-by-interval results for 50 intervals. The interval length is defined on the switch and we recommend 1 hour intervals.

Traffic Analyst issues the LIST TRAF ALL ALL PAST ALL command to get the following data:

• trunk groups

• console groups

Nortel SL1 and M1 – All Models

1.8.1.

Pre-Installation Notes (Call Accounting)

For CDR data, Nortel switches create CDR files that can be pulled from the switch using FTP.

Alternatively, the CDR data can be streamed to a buffer box, with the data being pulled from the buffer box using FTP.

The CDR parameters should be set to output the “New” SL-1 CDR format. This corresponds to setting the FCDR in LD 17 to “NEW”.

NOTE: If CDR has not already been configured on your switch, we recommend you request support from your switch manufacturer to help set up your switch for CDR output. Or, you may also want to reference Nortel’s

Call Detail Recording System Administration Guide

.

1.8.2.

Pre-Installation Notes (Network)

For Network data on Nortel switches, data must be polled or captured every interval or it will be lost. Intervals are defined on the switch and can be an hour or ½ hour in length. Traffic

Analyst can directly poll the switch on an interval-by-interval basis, or it can work with a variety of buffer boxes to get the data. If buffer boxes are used, multiple days worth of past data may be available for polling.

Traffic uses Load 2 to get and store the following traffic data reports (the switch report numbers are in parenthesis):

•

Network (TFC001)

•

Trunk Group (TFC002)

•

Console Group (TFC003)

•

Console Member (TFC004)

•

Feature (TFC005)

•

Network Loop (TFS001)

•

Service (TFS002)

•

Dial Tone Delay (TFS003)

•

Processor (TFS004)

•

Selected Terminal (TFS005)

•

Junctor (TFS007)

•

IP Phone Zone Traffic (TFS016)

•

DSP Peg Count (TFC012)

After polling, the Network data is parsed and stored into hourly results in the Traffic Analyst database.

1.8.3.1.

Configuring the Switch

Traffic data is the only data that should be configured on the port. CDR, alarms, and maintenance messages must be output to a separate port from the LD 2 traffic data. The data streams cannot be sent to the same port.

1.8.3.1.1.

Choose the Type of Configuration

1.8.3.1.1.1.

Polling Directly from the Switch via Serial Port

If Traffic is polling the switch (rather than a buffer box), and the switch is release 23 or less, then a serial port must be configured for access and a password must be available for

Traffic to log on with. LD 2 must be accessible from this port. If the switch is release 25 or higher or Succession 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 connection can be made via serial or TCP/IP.

1.8.3.1.1.2.

Polling Directly from the Switch via TCP/IP using FTP

If the switch is release 25 or higher or Succession, then Traffic Analyst can communicate to the switch via TCP/IP using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Data will be retrieved from the switch disk. The FTP protocol must be unimpeded and the switch login requires a

Debug username and password. It is required to have DBA-Package 351. Follow the below commands on the switch.

To enable output of traffic data to the disk (buffer): (Up to 2 MB of data will store on the disk.)

LD117 ENL BUF TRF

To verify outputs of traffic data is enabled:

LD117 STAT BUF

The below status should reply.

TRF ENL

The switch must then be configured to send the LD2 data.

1.8.3.1.1.3.

Polling Directly from the Switch via Rlogin

For rlogin

access:

Username

: This should be CPSIDnnnn where nnnn are combinations of zero or ones.

1.8.3.1.1.5.

Polling from a Buffer Box

If you are using a buffer box, it must be configured properly. The switch must be configured to output its LD 2 data to the buffer box. The buffer box must be configured so that Traffic can access the data. Buffer boxes support a variety of connectivity and output options, from serial (modem) access to TCP/IP using FTP or Telnet support. See the section entitled “ Working With Buffer Boxes ” later in this document for a list of buffer boxes supported and information on configuring them for access by Traffic

Analyst.

1.8.3.1.2.

Running the Switch Command for LD 2

To prepare your switch to send the LD2 data to the port, you will need to type the following at a command prompt on the switch:

SSHS

[Enter]

1 1 31 12 the first 2 digits represent the beginning date and the last 2 the ending date. (1/1 – 12/31 = all year)

0 23 1 the first 2 digits represent the times of storage and the last is the interval. (Midnight to Midnight and 1 hour intervals)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 these numbers represent the days of the week to be stored.

1.9.

Avaya – All Models

1.9.1.


Avaya switch CDR data is retrieved either from the switch’s hard disk (called Survivable

CDR) or the CDR may be streamed to a buffer box. CDR parameters should be configured to output CDR in the “Expanded” format.

NOTE: If CDR has not already been configured on your switch, we recommend you request support from your switch manufacturer to help set up your switch for CDR output.

Avaya switch Network data is retrieved using the ASA (Avaya Site Administration) tool.

There are 2 steps to prepare the ASA to collect data from the switch,

Defining A Voice

System Connection

and

Data Collection Scheduling

. All data is retrieved from the switch using ASA and stored on the local hard drive or network drive. Traffic Analyst then uses these files to create data. A decision as to the frequency of when data will be collected, hourly or daily, needs to be made before switch setup and then Traffic Analyst will have to be setup accordingly. If data will be polled hourly, the trunk groups need a flag turned on to allow hourly measurements.

NOTE: ASA must be running at all times for Network data collection from the switch to occur.

1.9.2.

Installation Instructions (Call Accounting)

After CDR data collection is set-up on your switch, you will need to activate retrieval of it in the Traffic Analyst Administrative Tool. You can do this on the Communications screen while setting up your switch. On the bottom portion of this screen, you will designate where the CDR data is being retrieved from. For detailed instructions on setting up your Avaya switch in Traffic Analyst, please see the section entitled “Avaya Data

Directory Communications” in the Traffic Analyst Administrative Guide .

Make sure all required Windows components have been installed. It is advised to double check for these.

•

.Net Framework 3.5 or greater

•

IIS or IIS 7 if using Windows 2008

Important Note

: You must have administrative privileges to successfully install. Log in to Windows with an administrative user name and password before beginning the installation.

Traffic Analyst can be licensed as a stand-alone program on a single computer, or it can be configured for a client-server environment.

In a client-server environment, you install Traffic Analyst on both server and clients, but there are slightly different installation steps. All switch polling and database storage is done on the server. Clients have a few of the functionality that can be performed from the server, but there are some slight delays that occur with real-time updates during switch polling. You should install the main server first, before any clients.

Before installing the software, the switch(es) should be prepared for polling.

Important Note for Windows 2003, 2008 : You must have administrative privileges to successfully install. Log onto Windows with an administrative user name and password before beginning the installation.

Important Notes for Windows 7, 2008, Vista : The ISAPI Redirector (provided by

Tomcat) is no longer reliable enough to work on newer releases of IIS 7. Microsoft has stated that the ISAPI Redirectors should be phased out. Applications that depend on this feature should use ARR (Application Request Routing) instead. ARR is an extension module for IIS 7. There are special instructions for configuring TrafficWeb to work with newer versions of IIS 7, using ARR. See Configuring IIS with ARR (Windows 7, 2008,

Vista) in the Appendix for instructions.

Also, for full functionality, you may need to make sure that install directories are set to

“Full Control.”

2.1.

Installing a Traffic Analyst Server or client

Follow the steps below to install a Traffic Analyst configuration. Please note that if the

Setup program finds DLL files on your system that are older than the DLLs it will install, it asks you if you want to replace them. Select the "Install new and keep old DLL" option in this event.

Put the CD you received from Impact Technologies in your CD drive. Or, if you are installing from a network directory, locate the directory where the Impact Technologies

CD has been copied.

Adding Traffic Analyst to the Startup Folder

You can add Traffic Analyst to the Startup folder so that it starts up automatically whenever its computer is rebooted. Here are the steps:

1.

Create a shortcut to the Traffic Analyst program file named ta2000.exe. On most systems, this is found in the c:\Impact Technologies\Traffic Analyst\bin directory.

Copy this shortcut into the Startup Folder.

2.

After the short cut is finished, right click on the shortcut and select "Properties" from the pop up menu.

3.

Go to the Shortcut Tab. In the Target field add the argument -w60 to the end of the line. This delays the startup for 60 seconds, which should give enough time for any other applications you are loading to come up first. Be sure a space exists between the application file and the command line option. Your target string may appear as below.

C:\Program Files\ta2000\bin\ta2000.exe -w60

2.2.

Installing Web application

Before the Web application can be installed make sure that IIS is installed. Also, if using a Windows Server 2008, Application Request Routing (ARR) also needs to be installed and configured.

As the Web installation starts the Install Wizard will appear and start the preparation of the Java Virtual Machine.

Lantronix UDS-10 Setup

To configure the Lantronix, the following Network information is needed:

♦

A static IP address

♦

Subnet Mask IP Address

♦

Gateway IP Address

Connect via PC serial port to UDS-10 serial port using Standard Modem cable.

Using HyperTerminal or ProComm Plus, start a session and configuring the comm port to

9600, 8, N, 1.

While powering on the UDS-10, hold down the “x” key on the keyboard until the UDS-

10 Menu appears.

♦

Hit [Enter] to get to the Change Setup menu.

♦

Hit 0 (zero) and [Enter].

♦

Enter the static IP address that you will be using.

♦

Answer “Y” to Set Gateway.

♦

Enter the gateway address the same way as the IP address.

♦

Netmask: You will need to enter the number of bits that match your network configuration. Please refer to the

IP Addressing

section of the

Lantronix

Installation Guide

that came with the Lantronix Device to determine the correct setting.

♦

“Change telnet config password” hit N and [Enter]

♦

When back at the Change Setup menu, select 9 and [Enter]. This will save your settings and disconnect you from the UDS-10.

Connect the UDS-10 to the network via an Ethernet cable. Once connected, the “link” light should be a steady green (which means that it is connected to the network) and the

“net Tx/Rx” flashing yellow (which shows network traffic).

If everything is configured correctly, connection via the IP Address should be available.

Go to Start…Run and type in “telnet xx.xx.xx.xx 9999” (where x represents the IP address you assigned the UDS-10). The 9999 after the IP address will signify that we are going in on the maintenance port.

If the port the Lantronix is connected to will be something other than 9600, 8, N, 1, then the Channel 1 configuration will need to be changed. From the Main Menu, select option

1 and change the fields to correspond to the correct information.

The device is now ready to connect to the port of the PBX.

To use the Lantronix with Traffic Analyst software you will need to install the Comm

Port Redirector software.

Note:

The IP Port is the port number configured on the Lantronix. IP port number 10001 is the default and is recommended. Only change the default port number if this has been changed during the Lantronix setup. Check the option for a Lantronix password if one has been configured. Then enter the password. See Lantronix Installation Guide for more information.

Following is a discussion on setting up these boxes.

3.2.1.

Western Telematic

3.2.1.1.

PollCat NetLink – NetLink Jr

Traffic Analyst can poll data from Western Telematic's PollCat NetLink via TCP/IP or modem. It does this once a day, usually just after midnight and before the next day starts.

The PollCat Netlink will accumulate all data for a day and provide it to Traffic Analyst on request.

Before you start, make sure that you have a Ethernet connection, if polling via TCPIP, available at the switch since the PollCat must be connected to your network once configuration is complete. Or if not polling via TCPIP you will need a modem line to connect to the PollCat.

Once you turn on the PollCat, you should see the Green light above “ON” and a flashing amber light above “RDY”.

To setup PollCat for TCPIP:

Connect to PollCat via Modem (PollCat has built in internal 56K modem) or Direct

Connect from your PC serial port (comm port) to the Console Port (DCE). These port are located on the back of the PollCat. You can use ProComm or HyperTerminal for this.

Default settings for Direct Connect are 9600 8, N, 1 and 57600, 8, N, 1 for Modem.

After 3 unsuccessful attempts at the PollCat password, the PollCat will disconnect you.

Once connected, hit [Enter] to get the Main Menu. If you get ERROR instead of the Main

Menu, it is looking for a password. By default, the password is SUPER and is casesensitive.

Once at the Main Menu, type in 22 (Port Configuration) and hit [Enter].

On the Port Configuration Menu, type in 6 (Network Port) and hit [Enter].

The following items need to be changed on the Network Port screen:

1. IP Address – This is a static IP address that your Networking or IT department must assign.

2. Subnet Mask – This may or may not need to be changed. You will have to check with your Networking or IT department.

3. Gateway Addr - This is a IP address that your Networking or IT department must supply you with.

To change these items, select the appropriate number that corresponds to the item you need to change.

Enter each address as needed and then hit [ESC] to return to the Port Configuration

Menu.

U I D E

This portion will need to be completed if polling with TCPIP or Modem:

Now select PBX Port A, PBX Port B or PBX Port AUX, whichever one that the Traffic data will be coming in on, and hit [Enter]. For POLLCAT Jr. (NLJ-512), you will only have a PBX Port A. Settings 1-4 for the PBX Port MUST match the settings to the port you are going to be using on the PBX, otherwise the PollCat will not be able to communicate with the switch.

Hit [ESC] until you are back at the Main Menu.

You need to SAVE the parameters to the PollCat otherwise if power is lost to it, the changes made will be lost.

To save, type 7 (Save Parameters) and hit [Enter]. Answer Y at the “Sure?” prompt and hit [Enter]. Hit [Enter] after it has saved to return to the Main Menu.

Back at the Main Menu, type 8 (Exit Command Mode) and hit [Enter]. You should get an on-screen message of “Command Mode Exited”. At this point you can close your terminal program (HyperTerminal, ProComm, etc…)

Since we have added the TCP/IP address to the PollCat, we need to test it to make sure that we can communicate with it since Traffic Analyst will only use the TCP/IP connection to communicate with the PollCat. Make sure you are testing it from the computer that will have Traffic Analyst installed on it. You will need to use telnet, which is a standard Windows program. Click on the Start button, then Run or get to a Command

Prompt (DOS prompt). Type in “telnet xx.xx.xx.xx” without the quotes and where “x” is the IP address of the PollCat that you assigned to it. This should open a new window.

NOTE:

If you get a message that says “Cannot connect to xx.xx.xx.xx”, then you either have the wrong IP address or something is not configured correctly on the PollCat.

You should now see “POLLCAT-NETLINK” on the screen. This does require a password to access it. By default it is SUPER and is case-sensitive. You will not see the password as you type it. Make sure you hit [Enter] after you type in the password. You should now get a READY message. Hit [Enter] to get to the Main Menu. You can now make future changes using the telnet connection.

Once you have finished configuring the PollCat, you now need to connect it to your switch. There is a cable supplied with the PollCat that has one end marked as “PBX” and the other end as “POLLCAT”. There is also a connector that is marked as “Null

Connector” which you need to connect to the “PBX” end of the cable before plugging it into your PBX.

Once you have plugged in all the cables, including the Ethernet connection, the PollCat should be ready to accept data from the PBX. You will have to configure your switch to export the data on the port we are connected to.

To assist in this set-up, here is how Traffic Analyst works with the PollCat NetLink:

1.

Traffic Analyst will try to access the Command Mode of the PollCat through TCP/IP port

#23, using the Host Name or IP Address defined in its Switch Communications settings or via a modem using the Modem number and baud/parity rate you set up. These settings need to match what is setup in the PollCat.

U I D E

2.

Traffic Analyst first looks for the prompt "PollCat-NetLink" and if it sees it, Traffic

Analyst sends the password defined in its Switch Communications settings and waits for a "Ready" prompt to display. (Note: the password is case sensitive, so be careful that it is entered into Traffic Analyst correctly.)

If Traffic Analyst does not see the "PollCat-Netlink" prompt, it looks for the "Ready" prompt anyway, and proceeds if it finds it. It also looks for the "Enter Selection" prompt, meaning that the

PollCat menu has been enabled for a network connection, and if found, Traffic proceeds appropriately. If none of these prompts appear within the timeout time, then Traffic Analyst stops and logs a failure.

3.

Assuming Traffic Analyst has obtained Command Mode with the PollCat, it issues the following command to retrieve the data:

^B01,STD,SP

Where SP is PA (port A), PB (port B) or PX (auxiliary), whichever port is used to collect traffic data and defined in Traffic Analyst's Switch Communication settings. The STD command segment requests standard (non-alarm) records.

4.

All data up to the END DATA message will be collected. Traffic will then issue this command:

^B25,Y

This resets all records in the port's current memory partition.

5.

Last, Traffic issues the

^B09

command to exit the Command Mode and discontinue the connection.

3.2.2.

Omnitronix

3.2.2.1.

Poll-Safe

Traffic Analyst can poll data from Omnitronix Poll-Safe buffer box PS680 or PS635 via a modem. It does this once a day, usually just after midnight and before the next day starts.

The Poll-Safe will accumulate all data for a day and provide it to Traffic Analyst on request.

The size of the buffer box should be able to hold enough records for a full day and maybe two days if a problem happens when trying to dial into the buffer box. For sizing recommendation, usually a 2MB unit is large enough but it is a good idea to connect

Impact Technologies if you have questions on which buffer box is right for you.

Please refer to your user manual to setup the buffer box to your switch.

To configure the buffer box you will need to connect to the buffer box using ProComm or

Windows HyperTerminal. You will see the Connect message soon but it may 10 seconds or so before you see the Answer String of POLLSAFE PS680 or POLLSAFE PS635p.

At this point you should be able to enter commands and see responses from the Poll-Safe.

You will want to type a ^B (hold the Control key down and type a B).

Now you can type STATUS or a question mark (?). You should see a status display transmitted. Next you will want to go through the SETUP. It is very important to setup the date and time, the baud rate and parity setting of the input port. This is the port that will be connected to the port of your PBX. These settings will need to match the port settings of the PBX exactly. Compress will also need to set to OFF.

U I D E

Once you have finished configuring the Poll-Safe, you now need to connect it to your switch. The Input port is Configured as DTE port, most PBX ports are configured as

DCE therefore most likely required configuration is a just a straight through cable. If the

PBX port is also DTE you will need a NULL modem adapter also.

Connect the serial cable to the Poll-Safe Input port. When this connection is properly made, the RXD IN LED should turn GREEN. If the RXD IN LED is RED then something is not correct and you should try a different cable. If it is neither RED nor

GREEN, then insert the null modem adapter between the Poll-Safe and the cable from the

PBX or you can change the jumpers to the Poll-Safe to be DCE. You will need to reference your user’s manual for information.

The RDX IN LED will be GREEN and will flicker RED when data is being transmitted from the PBX.

Since the Poll-Safe PS680 can understand PollCat commands Traffic Analyst will use those commands for the Poll-Safe. The Poll-Safe PS635 does not understand the PollCat command so the Poll-Safe commands are used to access the data and clear the buffer after data collection has occurred.

3.2.3.

Scannex

Traffic Analyst can poll data from the Scannex once an hour (or more frequently if needed).

When you set up Traffic Analyst for use with the Scannex, you will need to enter a user name and password that the Scannex will recognize. You will also need to enter the filename of the file Traffic Analyst will retrieve. Consult your Scannex documentation for this information.

There is a utility available from the Scannex website, SE Discoverer, that you can use to help you with the Scannex set up. As of this writing, the URL for downloading this

Scannex utility is as follows:

SE Discover program - http://www.scannex.com/tools/setup_sediscover.exe

Please note that this URL can change at any time, so you may have to go to scannex.com to search for it.

You can also download the IP User Manual at: http://www.scannex.com/docs/ipbuffer_manual_20080502.pdf

Again, this URL is subject to change.

3.2.3.1.

Setting up the Scannex ip.buffer

Assuming you are connecting it to the LAN (with a direct connect serial cable to the

PBX), connect the ip.buffer to your LAN (and the serial cable to the PBX) and connect to power outlet.

Configuring IIS with ARR (Windows 7, 2008, Vista)

Follow the steps below to ensure that TrafficWeb is properly configured for using IIS to send Web requests to and from the TrafficWeb application via Tomcat services.

NOTE: If not already on the server, IIS must be installed first, before installing ARR. To check if IIS is installed, open Administrative Tools from the Control Panel and then open the IIS Manager. If you are unable to open IIS, it probably is not installed.

First, download and install ARR version 2.0 or later. To find an available download, enter

“Microsoft Application Request Routing” into your favorite search engine. Once this is downloaded, run the installer. (Note: The ARR installer displays a dialog near the end of the install - which mentions the location of the log file. Make sure you examine this log file. The installer does not alert the user of all install errors; therefore, you must manually read this log file before assuming the installer worked.)

Follow these instructions when using Web Platform Installer to install ARR.

Select the Web Platform tab. Then, under Web Server, select Customize.
