  • EHRPD - Max—The highest number of EHRPD connections recorded to this device.

The first row in the table displays the total for all configured MRA devices.

You can filter results by controlling which table rows appear, using the Filters list. You can define filtering criteria using the following fields:
  • Server Name—Filter in all servers (default), server totals only, or one specific server.
  • Server Type—Filter in all server types (default), totals only, MPE devices only, or MRA devices only.
  • Associated MRA—Filter in all MRA devices (default), totals only, or one specific MRA device. (If your CMP system is not configured to manage MRA devices, this option is not available.)
