Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer system and method for displaying line unit performance details of equipment in a telecommunications network. The system includes a report display component for displaying a line unit performance report. The system further includes a line unit performance details component for displaying details regarding line usage information in a telecommunications network.

Claims (36)

1. A computer system for displaying line unit performance details, the system comprising:

a report display component for displaying a line unit performance report;

a line unit performance details component for displaying details regarding line usage information in a telecommunications network; and

a load balance display component for displaying historical information regarding activities previously done to balance traffic for network equipment associated with a line unit, the line unit being further associated with the line unit performance details in the telecommunications network.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line unit performance report displays line usage information by switch modules and line units for one or more central offices.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line unit performance report and load balance display are displayed together.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line unit performance details include line usage of a particular line unit at a certain time of day such as the busiest time of day.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line unit performance details are requested by selecting information displayed in the line unit performance report.

6. The system of claim 5 , where a particular interval of time for a line unit from the line unit performance report is selected.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the report display component and the line unit performance details component access line usage information and line unit performance details from a relational database component.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line unit performance details include the type of lines loaded on each line unit.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the type of lines are one of business or residential.

10. A method for displaying line unit performance details in a computerized environment, the method comprising:

displaying a line unit performance report;

receiving a request for line unit performance details;

displaying the line unit performance details requested; and

displaying historical information regarding prior activities performed to balance traffic for network equipment associated with a line unit, the line unit being further associated with the line unit performance details in a telecommunications network.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the line unit performance report displays line usage information by switch modules and line units for one or more central offices.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the line unit performance report and load balance display are displayed together.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the line unit performance details include line usage of a particular line unit at the busiest time of day.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the line unit performance details are requested by selecting information displayed in the line unit performance report.

15. The method of claim 14 , where a particular interval of time for a line unit from the line unit performance report is selected.

16. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing the method recited in claim 10 .

17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

accessing line usage information for line unit performance report and line unit performance details from a database.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the line unit performance details include the type of lines loaded on each line unit.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the type of lines are one of business or residential.

20. A computer system for displaying line unit performance details, the system comprising:

means for displaying a line unit performance report;

means for receiving a request for line unit performance details;

means for displaying the line unit performance details requested; and

means for displaying previously performed load balance activities for network equipment associated with a line unit, the line unit being further associated with the line unit performance details in a telecommunications network.

21. The system of claim 20 , further comprising:

means for accessing line unit performance details from a database.

22. The system of claim 20 , wherein the line unit performance details include line usage of a particular line unit at a certain time of day such as the busiest time of day.

23. The system of claim 20 , wherein the line unit performance details include the type of line loaded on each line unit.
