NMT Reports
This chapter describes the different types of reports generated by the NMT. NMT ascii reports are
generated with each run of either the Route command or the Optimize command. Some of these reports
can be viewed from the Display menu. All can be written to disk from the Report menu. Define Input
Screen determines which reports to include in the output file, and Generate creates and names the
output file. Most reports are fairly straight forward in the information they present.
Some reports are also output in DBF format, and are included in the SSI interface to Excel. These reports
can be translated to comma separated value (CSV) format using the dbf2csv command line utility.
For a more detailed description of the NMT reports, see the HELP/DISPLAY menu in the NMT
Note
application.
The types of reports are described below:

field is greater than one, NMT provisioned multiple switches at that site location.

Link Report

The Link report displays basic provisioning and cost information about the links.

Network Summary Report

The Network Summary report contains the total network costs and global statistics about the routing of
connections in the network. The routing summary includes average hop count and histogram data of the
