WebViewer™

Data Layer

An Oracle or MS Access database (user specified) is used to store the analytical measurement results along with all pertinent data associated with the VQuad™/VQT/VBA/EMU/Data/Video Test systems (Call progress events, error events, timestamps, Call ID, location information, Echo Measurements, Data Test Results, Video Test Results, Fax Events, VQT PESQ and POLQA Events). This provides a very flexible and expandable architecture for data storage and data access. The database is accessed in real-time over the web using the WebViewer™.

Application Server

The WebViewer™ provides an application server for accessing the VQuad™ Call progress events, user-defined error events, delay measurement results, Data Test results, Video Test results, Echo Measurement results, Fax Events and VQT PESQ/ VQT POLQA/VBA E-Model LQ/LQO/WB MOS measurements along with the additional analytical measurements including Call ID information. The results are queried over the internet using any browser-capable device such as desktops, table PCs MAC systems (Mac, iPhone, iPad) or PDAs. The application server is capable of serving the data in real-time or providing historic data based on customer selected filters.

Using Application Server

Using any browser-capable-device, you can access all network results from anywhere in the world. When you open the WebViewer™, the following page will be displayed. The WebViewer™ browser can display the VQT PESQ results and ratings, VQT POLQA Events, VBA results including E-Model and ratings, VQuad™ Delay Measurement results (RTD, OWD, SNR, PDD), Echo Measurement results, Data Test results (TCP, UDP, VoIP, Route, HTTP, FTP, DNS, SMS, Email, PhoneInfo, SimInfo, and UEInfo), Fax Events and VQuad™ Call Control events including call failures and error events.

VQuad™ Auto Remote Control

With Admin login, VQuad™ Nodes can be configured with selected scripts and operations such as Load/Run/Stop Master Configuration, Scripts, and Pause Timer scripts to be performed on each of its nodes and devices. The Admin can also authorize any specific user to control the automated VQuad™ nodes.

With User login, the VQuad™ Nodes can be remotely controlled by starting or stopping the configured scripts on the devices and also monitor the node status (such as Idle / Stopped / Loading / Initiating / Running tests).

Network Status

Network Status view gives the real-time status of all the VQuad™ probes, connected Mobile Devices, VQT Probes, File Monitor applications, and the Command Center applications in the network.
VQuad™ Network Status screen displays the ‘VQuad™ Probe Status’ and the ‘Devices Script Status’. 

Option to edit VQuad and File Monitor Node parameters are included for easy control of the nodes. Editable VQuad node parameters includes Node Name, GPS co-ordinates (retrieved automatically if GPS receiver is attached to Dual UTA HD or can be user defined, to be displayed in WebViewer Google Maps), VQuad™ PC IP address, Primary and Secondary Central DB IP Addresses configuration for backup and redundancy, and VQuad™ location (Fixed/Mobile) type. VQuad™ node device script status parameters such as the Script Name, Call Type (3G, 4G, LTE, PSTN, & CVoIP), Global Device & Start Variables, FXO & Bluetooth number, and Start/Stop script manually.

File Monitor node status screen displays the Computer Name, IP Address, Primary and secondary VQT Destination IP Addresses to handle network fail-overs, Remote Path, Delete Type, File Type, and the running/ stopped File monitor Status. The editable File Monitor node parameters include Destination IP Addresses, Remote Path, Delete Type, and File Type.

VQT node status screen displays Computer Name, Central DB Primary and secondary IP Address for back-up and redundancy, Version, Test Name, and the Test Status.

Mobile Device Status such as Disconnected, Phone Suspended, Phone Idle, and other conditions along with mobile device information in the network are also displayed.

Filters

Search Criteria

Using the Search Criteria option, the user may filter the search based on a variety of different criteria including Called Number, Ratings, Measurement Range, and User-Specified Events. The results of the query may be based on a Time Filter with an Auto Refresh option or based on a start/stop time/date.  It is also possible to search through the results/events based on the GPS position. The NetTest results can also be filtered based on the configured PC based NetTest and Mobile NetTest result parameters.

Advanced Search Criteria

The Advanced filter criteria option allows VQT PESQ and POLQA parameters to AND or OR the conditions to create unlimited filtering configurations. The pre-defined filter can be loaded or a new filter (search criteria) configuration can be defined and saved.

Columns Setup

Column Setup option helps the user to view the results for the selected VQT columns, and re-arrange the columns as required. The configurations can be saved which supports unlimited filtering configurations.

Custom Reports

Using WebViewer™, it is now possible to customize report generation with result statistics, tabular data, bar graphs, and line graphs.  Reports can be customized based on a combination of different parameters in Results View, Call Events, and Statistics.  WebViewer™ can generate and export the customized report in either text, excel or PDF formats, while also allow users to view results dynamically on WebViewer™.

WebViewer™ can generate the custom reports with a variety of filtered configurations. All configurations are created and modified directly within WebViewer™ - create a new report or modify existing reports for displaying the user-specified results. Included with Custom Reports is the ability to specify custom Line Graphs.

Additionally, Report Scheduler gives the user the ability to specify when to schedule a report along with the schedule period and user-specified filters. For instance, every Monday schedule a report which includes last 7 days, or schedule a report every morning or once a month. The Scheduler uses the Custom Reports as specified above and outputs as PDF or Excel or other format.  As part of the Report Scheduler, all reports generated can be shared automatically via Email or SMS. So, if desired, every morning you can have an email or SMS with the past day testing performance.

Custom Reports

Google Maps

Google Maps plotting option is provided to display the GPS co-ordinates of various Results, VQuad Nodes, and Mobile Devices. Results include VQT PESQ, VQT POLQA, NetTests, Call Connect Events, EMU, FAX, and VBA tests. These are differentiated using color codes and text call-outs. Plotting can be done in real-time while drive testing and also while testing at a location.

Google Maps plotting can be customized based on the specific map configuration. The customized map plotting can be further refined by choosing the test parameter such as VQuad™ location, VQuad™ Phone ID, Call Events, Threshold Settings; and other result types.

Within the map, any node result details such as Result type, Device PhoneID, Device Name, GPS Position, and Location of the test result can be obtained. Users can also get the individual device or application status or result statistics.

Google Maps Plotting

The Google maps Plotting Configurations can be created for the 4 map types (Threshold Settings, VQuad™ Location, VQuad™ Phone ID, and Call Events), and the results available for the results types, and the Phone IDs. The Pin configuration includes the color and the text settings to indicate the Pass and the Fail conditions on the map. 

Google Maps Configuration

It also includes an option to map the region boundaries of the specific area as per the configurations in the Web Configuration Tool. Selecting the predefined configuration, which highlights the region on the map. Regions can be configured by specifying the location, Lat/Long with radius or Lat/Long boundaries.

Region Mapping and Configurations

Console View

Console View can be customized to populate the overall VQuad and NetTest results. VQuad consolidated view includes the Average, Min, Max of VQT PESQ, VQT POLQA, Time Delay Measurements, VQuad and Fax Status, and Call Events tabular and graphical display. The NetTest console view can also be customized to display Average, Min, Max of TCP, HTTP, VoIP, UDP, FTP, SMS, Email, DNS results and Battery level & RSSI. The corresponding graph for each of the NetTest types are also displayed.

The Console view can be populated to view only the failed events, for VQuad and NetTest threshold parameter values. The Console view also includes additional support within the individual graphics for zooming and accessing individual result points, or plotting results directly to Google Maps.
