Gateway device reports
CAR provides reporting capabilities for three levels of users: administrators, managers, and individual users. Only administrators generate device reports.
Device reports track the load and performance of Cisco Unified Communications Manager related devices, such as conference bridges, voice-messaging servers, and gateways.
Only CAR administrators generate the gateway reports. The following sections describe how to configure Gateway Detail, Gateway Summary, and Gateway Utilization reports.

Note You can generate a report for up to five gateways at a time.
Step 4 To move the chosen gateway to the list of Selected Gateways box, click the down arrow. The gateway(s) that you chose displays in the Selected Gateways box.
Step 5 In the Select Call Types area, check the check boxes for the types of calls that you want to include in the report. The following table describes the call types.
Table 1 Gateway Details by Call Types Outgoing calls that originate on one Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, go out through a trunk, and terminate on a different Cisco Unified Communications Manager network. For CAR purposes, be aware that any outgoing call can be classified as an On Net call if it is configured as such in the CAR dial plan configuration window. See Set up dial plan.
Local calls that are routed through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to numbers without an area code or that include one of the local area codes.
Long-distance calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
International calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter through a gateway, and go into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway, and transfer outbound from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway.
All other outgoing calls, such as toll-free numbers or emergency calls such as 911.
Step 6 In the Select QoS area, check the check boxes for the voice-quality categories that you want to include in the report. The parameters that are set in the following table provide the basis for all voice-quality categories. Step 7 Choose the date range for the period for which you want to see call information.
Note Ensure the date and time range does not exceed one month.
Step 8 If you want the report in CSV format, choose CSV (comma separated value) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the CSV-format report is limited to 20,000 records. If you want the report in PDF format, choose PDF (portable document format) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the PDF-format report is limited to 5000 records. Step 9 Click the View Report button. The report displays.
Step 10 If you want to mail the report, click the Send Report button. To send the report, follow the procedure that is described in the Mail reports.

Generate gateway summary reports
ProcedureOnly CAR administrators generate the Gateway Summary report. This report provides a summary of all the calls that went through the gateways. You can use this information for monitoring the traffic and QoS for calls through the gateways.
You can either view reports that the system automatically generates or generate new reports. Only CAR administrators can schedule reports for automatic generation. See the CAR system parameters, for more information.
This section describes how to generate, view, or mail summary information about gateways.
Step 1 Choose . The Gateway Summary window displays.
Step 2 In the Available Reports field, choose an automatically generated report (if available) and go to Step 6 or use the default setting, Generate New Report and go to Step 3. Step 3 In the Select Call Types area, check the check boxes for the types of calls that you want to include in the report. The following table describes the call types.
Tip To check all check boxes, click Select All; to uncheck the check boxes, click Clear All.
Table 3 Gateway Summary by Call Types Outgoing calls that originate on one Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, go out through a trunk, and terminate on a different Cisco Unified Communications Manager network.

Calls, including intracluster calls, that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and end in the same Cisco Unified Communications Manager network (no gateways or trunks are used).
Local calls that are routed through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to numbers without an area code or that include one of the local area codes.
Long-distance calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
International calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter through a gateway, and go into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway, and transfer outbound from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway.
All other outgoing calls, such as toll-free numbers or emergency calls such as 911.
Step 4 If you chose Generate New Report, choose the date range of the period for which you want to generate the report. Step 5 If you want the report in CSV format, choose CSV (comma separated value) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the CSV-format report is limited to 20,000 records. If you want the report in PDF format, choose PDF (portable document format) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the PDF-format report is limited to 5000 records. Step 6 Click the View Report button. The report displays.
Step 7 If you want to mail the report, click the Send Report button. To send the report, perform the procedure that is described in the Mail reports.

Generate gateway utilization reports
ProcedureOnly CAR administrators generate the Gateway Utilization report. The report provides an estimate of the utilization percentage of the gateway for the period and not the exact utilization. For example, the system calculates the utilization of a gateway between 11hrs-12hrs, as the (sum of the duration of the calls that used the gateway in that hour / (maximum duration seconds in an hour * maximum number of ports in a gateway * number of days between the fromDate and toDate selected) * 100). Similarly, to get a utilization for the whole day, the system calculates the utilization as mentioned for each hour. You can examine the usage based on each hour of a day or on a specified number of days for each week or month.
In the case of weekly utilization reports, the system calculates the utilization as ((sum of the duration of the calls that used the gateway in a day) / (maximum duration seconds in each day * number of each day between the fromDate and toDate selected * maximum number of ports in a gateway) * 100).
In case of monthly utilization reports, the system calculates the utilization as ((sum of the duration of the calls that used the gateway in a day) / (maximum duration seconds in each day * number of each day between the fromDate and toDate selected * maximum number of ports in a gateway) * 100).
Reports generate for each gateway that is chosen.
For calculation of the utilization of H.323 gateways, the system uses the port numbers from the CAR Gateway Configuration window. To find this window, choose . You cannot take port details for H.323 gateways from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database because the H.323 port number always equals zero in the database. The user must update H.323 gateway ports information in the CAR Gateway Configuration window.
Be aware that the only port detail information that is taken from the CAR Gateway Configuration window is only for those gateways that do not have port details that are available or that show zero in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
You can either view reports that the system automatically generates or generate new reports. Only CAR administrators can schedule reports for automatic generation. See the CAR system parameters, for more information.
This section describes how to generate, view, or mail Gateway Utilization reports.
Step 1 Choose . The Gateway Utilization window displays.
Step 2 In the Generate Reports field, choose a time as described in the following table.
