Introduction
Using data stream
reporting
Using local
printers and MTE
Standard 1.0
Data stream reporting allows system administrators to print
historical reports into files. Third-party software, such as
database and spreadsheet applications, can use these files.
You cannot purchase the data stream reporting feature
separately. It is always enabled in NAC 2.5.
You can print the reports on an ad hoc basis through the Report
Definition feature or at a predetermined time through the
Schedule Definition feature.
To use data stream reporting, you must complete several stages.
These stages, which are described in this chapter, include
• assign a port
• enable the Datastream Headings Format field (optional)
• print the report to a file
• download the report into a third-party application
You can also configure data stream reporting for local printers
and capture the report output on the MTE workstation.
For more information, refer to the MTE User Guide
(P0881398), "Printing a report" chapter, "To print reports with
Meridian MAX 8.6x (or higher) or NAC 2.5" section.
