SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES definition
SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES. AN OVERVIEW The AutoPACE System provides capabilities in the following functional categories: CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT AutoPACE System Configuration Management provides reports and analyses of the translatable parameters that define the configuration of a Lucent Technologies wireless system. Reports include both pre-defined geographic displays and pre-defined tabular reports. Also, the AutoPACE System User Definable Report (UDR) tool allows users to define their own reports of system configuration parameters. An associated utility can compare configuration parameters at two different points in time and display the differences. Currently, AutoPACE cannot be used to modify the configuration of a system. The AutoPACE database stores the most recent view. of the system configuration and this is refreshed with a frequency defined by the user (typically once per day). Configuration Management can report on more than one system as well as systems with more than one MSC. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AutoPACE System Traffic Analysis can be used for hourly, daily, or longer-term analyses, including weekly, monthly, or annual reports, limited only by the amount of data stored by the user. Traffic and performance data for cell sites, trunks, logical and physical antenna faces, IS-41 inter-system networking and MSC elements are collected, analyzed, and displayed as user-defined tabular reports and graphs. Traffic Analysis can report every count provided by the AUTOPLEX Service Measurement sub-system and the domestic 5ESS Switch DCS. Virtually all Traffic Analysis reports are user-defined(4). The elements of a report definition include several aspects, including: the system elements included in a report, the counts included in a report, the data and time scope of the report, the details of the presentation of the counts (including busy hour analysis and data summarization details), and the organization, destination and appearance of the output. Traffic data, collected from the OMP as well as the domestic 5ESS Switch DCS on an hourly basis, can be stored in the AutoPACE database for a period of time determined by the user-provided storage capacity of the AutoPACE server. Traffic Analysis can report on more than one system as well as systems with more than one MSC. MAINTENANCE MESSAGE ANALYSIS AutoPACE System Maintenance Message Analysis is used to study Call Processing Failure (CPF) messages that are generated by the AUTOPLEX System when a call terminates abnormally.
