Hello All:

I know how to run trunk analysis, but my question is REALLY about ASA. I know you need to have ASA running to run the scheduled task (trunk analysis) but is there ANY way to run ASA as a service? The PC I have ASA can't stay logged in the entire time running ASA.

Any ideas are appreciated as I am tired of running this manually.

Thanks,
Tim

ASA is not a service but it will still run if you logoff. I run the trunk analysis every morning around 1AM and look at the result when I get to work and log in.

Thanks for the info, however, I tried what you suggested, and it doesn't work. ASA never launches to run the data polling.

Does anyone have anything else I can try?

Thanks,
Tim

If you must collect daily statistics using ASA and it's impractical leaving your PC up and on the network 24x7, you have two options:

1) schedule the job to run during biz hours when you know your PC will be up and running - you have to think about weekends and holidays.

2) install ASA on a server that is in service 24x7.

You need to leave ASA running to get the reports you want, it won't start if you have closed it. ASA will log into the PBX, collect the data, then log off (if you have told it to logoff). Minimize it to the task bar.

I had the desktop guys give me a 2nd PC and 'generic' Novel login. It is plugged into the PBX UPS power strip. It collects data from 3 large Definities and 4 Audix systems. Not just trunks but lots of other stuff like measurements for tone, integrated, collects list station, etc. Since it's Windows, I reboot each Monday am. Works like a champ.
