3 Scope
It is the scope of the document to provide a summary overview of the key features. It is not
intended to go into depth on every feature detailed or to list all the metrics that PROGNOSIS
can monitor. Rather it is intended to give the reader an insight into the key features available
from PROGNOSIS IP Telephony Manager. Detailed information can be provided by a
PROGNOSIS technical consultant.

· Call summary information for voice and video calls, including calls by category, calls
types i.e. internal, inbound and outbound
Call monitoring
· Monitors all call legs for all calls in the cluster
· Provides details such as IP addresses of phones/gateways, called/calling numbers, codec
used, QoS data
· Alert against illegal calls trying to be made and when an emergency number has been
dialed
Call Failures
· Provides call failure information for all calls
· Drilling down into a call provides detailed call failure data

one line per MGCP, H.323, SIP and VG gateway
· Drilldown on any MGCP or H.323 gateway to see more details of the status and
utilization of all PSTN (PRI, BRI, T1CAS and FXO) interfaces on that gateway. Drilldown
further on a particular PSTN interface to show status and utilization of all channels on
that interface.
· Drill down on SIP trunk to see utilization and status information
· Drilldown on a VG gateway to see status and utilization of all ports on that gateway
Route patterns
· Details of route pattern, route list and route group configurations
· Status of route patterns, route lists and route groups, based on the aggregated status of
all underlying gateway and trunks

CUCM Key Features
Most data center environments today are set up using a variety of individual components that require System
Administrators to spend much of there time on basic integration tasks. The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS)
is a data center platform that unites computing, network, storage access and virtualization into a single cohesive
system that reduces costs and increases business agility.
· Connectivity
· Power supply
· Current and voltage levels
· Fan speeds
· Operating temperatures
By using the set of IP Telephony Manager Displays, System Administrators are able to monitor the C-
Series server operations and through a set of pre-configured threshold conditions can be alerted to any
abnormal operations.

5.1 Alerting
PROGNOSIS provides comprehensive monitoring and alerting capabilities and detailed threshold
conditions out of the box. It provides a safety net to ensure that the Cisco IPT deployment is
running efficiently and will alert you of issues before they become a service affecting problem.
These thresholds, once breached, have the following key alerting mechanisms:
Email
An email can be sent to a person, group of people during any hours of the day/week. A highly
configurable option
SNMP
A SNMP trap can be forwarded to a SNMP trap receiver, such as HPOV, Spectrum, Smarts etc.
An on event will be sent on breaches of thresholds, and an off event sent that will correlate with
the on event
Problem Log
This allows alerts to be seen in the PROGNOSIS console
Event log
Log events to the EMS
File log
Send alerts to a specific destination

· Calls Completed by call category
· Change in registered phone count
· Channel utilization by gateway
· Conference bridge utilisation
· Conference by type
· CTI connections
· FXS port usage
· Media termination point utilisation
· MOH utilisation
· Percentage of calls rejected
· PSTN lines in use per gateway
· Server availability

5.3 Security
Access to PROGNOSIS is controlled via security configuration held within the system. It provides
different levels of access for users based on their login details. This allows administrators to
specify who should have what level of access to PROGNOSIS such as read only, ability to create
displays amongst other secure configurations.
It can also easily integrate into security policies as PROGNOSIS to PROGNOSIS communication
is over a single TCP port.
5.4 Scalability
PROGNOSIS scales extremely well and is currently installed in the world’s largest Cisco cluster
and largest Cisco deployments in terms of phones, servers and clusters. It is a preferred and
proven tool for medium to large deployments.

5.5 Flexibility
PROGNOSIS is a highly customizable tool. The default packaging caters for most user
requirements, however, if customized displays are required, a simple display creation using the
powerful PROGNOSIS data views and collections is ready to be configured. This applies to
database collections for troubleshooting and reporting and creating new thresholds. It has an
easy to use and intuitive configuration tool to create any view needed from the system.
5.7 Other
Working through NAT
· A scalable network translation facility is provided, to allow polling of many remote
devices through a NATing firewall
