Remote Operation
SECTION MITL9105/911 O-096-450-NA
6.07 When the required System Options have been entered in the
PABX, the necessary operations to obtain traffic measurement
data at the remote location are as follows:
(a)
Polling Mode.
To request traffic data, the character DC1 or
NULL is transmitted from the remote terminal to the PABX data
port. The NULL code also results when a BREAK is sent from the
remote equipment. Hence a BREAK may be used to initiate
polling. These characters are ignored while in the middle of
outputting a report. On receipt of any one of these signals,
traffic data will then be transmitted from the PABX to the
remote device over the line. To suspend the flow of traffic data,
the character DC3 is sent from the remote terminal. This will
immediately suspend the traffic data flow. Traffic data flow may
be resumed by transmission of character DCl.
(b)
Autoprint Mode.
If System Option 295 (Autoprint) is selected,
hourly traffic measurement data is transmitted automatically
from the PABX data port. Note that if this data is to be printed
on a local printer, and
a
Hotel/Motel printout is requested dur-
ing an Autoprint printout, then the Hotel/Motel printout will not
occur until after the completion of the Autoprint report.

Console Operation
6.08 Traffic Measurement data may be obtained by console com-
mands. The appropriate commands are listed in Table 6-3. Sys-
tem Options 298 and/or 297 must have been enabled. Note that Polling
mode is not applicable for local printer operation, but Autoprint mode
can be employed (see paragraph 6.07(b)).
CAUTION: It should be noted that reprogramming trunks and
trunk groups in the middle of a Traffic Measurement
run may cause invalid data results.
Additional Operating Notes
6.09 The following additional operating procedures should be noted:
(a) The Start and Run times must be selected by the console,
irrespective of the type (polling, autoprint or console) of output.
.
(b) If System Option 298 and 297 are not selected, the traffic
utilities are illegal.
(c) If the attendant resets the digital clock during a traffic run, a
traffic report could be missed or printed twice. For example,
assume that Autoprint is in effect and a Traffic Report is due at
10:OO. If the clock is reset from 9:55 to 10:05, the report will be
lost. If it is reset from lo:05 to 9:55, two reports will be printed
of the 10:00 to 11:OO
data.
The attendant should be cautioned
against resetting the clock around the time of a Traffic Report.
