The Text Console of NuPoint UM servers can provide reports on all aspects of NP Net configuration for NP Net TCP/IP.
When you complete NP Net programming for the first time, or when you update the configuration, print the reports showing the configuration. Confirm the changes and communicate them to the customer, then leave a copy on site for technicians servicing NP Net in the future.
The available reports are:
Digits Translation Report
Node Access Table Report
Network Queues
TCP Network Status
Each time that you request one of these reports you are given the option to view these reports on the system console or your terminal connection, send them to a specific serial port, or put the information in a file.
This report displays each node prefix and associated node number that has been programmed into the Digits Translation Table. The Digits Translation report has the following format:
>>> Denver NuPoint Voice <<< PREFIX/NODE PAIR REPORT Wed Mar 10 11:35:48 20XX Prefix Node Absorb Cnt 700 700 3 801 801 3 802 802 3 803 803 3 804 804 3 805 805 3 807 807 3 7 Prefixes found |
The Network Node Table stores the access string and hardware type of each remote node on the system. This information enables the originate link of the local node to establish communications with the other nodes on the system.
The Node Table Report shows the node number, node name, access code (string), hardware type and access status (enabled or disabled) for every node that was entered into the Network Node Table.

The Network Queue Menu, accessed from the reports menu, has two entries, Report Queue Parameters and Dump. "Dump" is a utility that is used only by service personnel. The Queue Parameters report shows the current network queue configuration. The report for the default configuration is as follows:
Batch Urgent Weekday start time (hh:mm) 12:00 am 12:00 am Weekday stop time (hh:mm) Never Never Weekend start time (hh:mm) 12:00 am 12:00 am Weekend stop time (hh:mm) Never Never Message count threshold 1 0 Waiting time threshold (minutes) 5 0 Total message minutes threshold 0 0 Limits Message blk use threshold (percent) 80 Max call setup tries 50 Call retry interval (minutes) 10 Max age for a message in queue No Limit Press any key to continue.... |
This real-time dump report is valuable when debugging NP Net delivery problems. It lists all current messages in the network queue. Each remote node is displayed separately, and batch and urgent deliveries are separated.
