Printing and storing reports
The BCMS reports may be displayed on an administration terminal or printed on its
associated printer. The reports can also be scheduled to print at a later time using the
Report Scheduler.
As an option, a personal computer (PC) or host computer may be used to store the reports
and provide additional data manipulation capabilities.
Note:
Note: The BCMS software resides completely on the switch and does not include
any special software or unique communications protocol for the PC/host
computer application. Although Avaya does propose the use of a PC to
collect, store, and print the reports, Avaya does not recommend an
applications software package for the PC. Since Avaya does not install,
administer, or control the PC application, Avaya does not guarantee correct
operation of this arrangement.
Customers using a PC to collect report data will need the following report output
information for each report:
1. Begin with one-half page of line feeds.
2. Print a four-line banner containing the following information:
● Print job ID
● Command
● Time of day
● User
3. Provide a form feed.
4. Begin report data using 80 characters per line. Use spaces where there are no data,
and a newline character at the end of each line.
5. Provide a form feed after each page of data. The page length is defined in system
parameters.
6. Provide a form feed when the report has finished printing.
BCMS data is stored in volatile switch memory; it cannot be saved to or retrieved from
tape. The switch preserves historical data if a Reset System 1, Reset System 2, or Reset
System Interchange (in a duplicated system) occurs. Real-time data is preserved if a Reset
System 1 or Reset System Interchange occurs.
The switch loses all data (historical and real-time) during software upgrades.
