The Server Dashboard is a WebApps tool that Administrators can use to monitor the status of their server configuration in a live environment. It monitors and displays a server’s services, connectors, queues, compose engine states and the status of Telco channels in a color-coded format.
The Telco Channel status shows the following information.
-

In addition to the statuses listed above, the color of the Free Channels changes based on the percentage of the total free channels. See table below.
