6 Configuration via Web (HTML) Pages

Many configuration settings are stored within the Singulus and IQMediaMonitor test

systems. Storing configuration settings in the test system allows the system to list streams and report alarms consistently to many monitoring applications, such as IQMediaMonitor

running simultaneously at different locations.

The test systems use a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) web browser interface for basic system status, configuration management, setting alarm thresholds and account

management. Overall control and transfer of detailed information is accomplished using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB), and other details are explained in SNMP Communications section.

The web browser configuration interface is user privilege and password protected, with two levels; administrative and user. Administrative privileges give the user full access to all configuration parameters, while User privileges give the user access to a subset of the configuration parameters. Firmware updates can only be done in Administrative privileges, for example. The IQSoftwareSuite applications do not support privileges. For this reason, most configuration parameters are done within the web browser interface.

6.1 Accessing unit with a Web Browser

The status and management connection to the target is accomplished via an HTTP web browser. Simply enter the IP address of the system in an HTTP web browser and connect. A password window will appear as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 Network Password Window

Enter an appropriate user defined case-sensitive User Name and Password and click on the OK button. If a user defined password is not yet configured then use the default

(32)

Default administrator User Name: Admin

Default administrator Password: Su

The target will serve up Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages enabling basic status and management functions. Additional output data is obtained and control functions are done using IQMediaStimulus, IQMediaAnalyzer, IQMediaMonitor or another SNMP interface program.

By default, the Singulus will initially start-up in a mode of operation for use with IQMediaAnalyzer software. To change between operating modes, select the

Mode=IQMediaAnalyzer hyperlink at the top of the left browser window. At the system mode page, select either IQMediaStimulus or IQController to change operational mode and reset the system. The user is prompted for a valid Administrative username and password prior to the system successfully changing modes.

Figure 8 Singulus G1-T Operational Mode HTML Page

To switch the Singulus modes between IQMediaAnalyzer, IQMediaStimulus and IQController application modes, select corresponding hypertext. This will change modes and reset the Singulus. Allow the Singulus to reboot (this may take a few moments) then reconnect with the web browser or select the refresh button if the browser is still open. IQMediaMonitor M1 test systems do not support multiple operational modes and do not include the HTML page to switch modes. A password window will appear if you reconnected with a new browser session.

(33)

1) The target system chassis network port (management port) located on the

back panel must be connected to a network accessible by the client computer.

2) The target system must be properly connected, powered up and configured

with a valid network address. The initial IP address can be setup using the

serial interface of the target system located on the back panel.

6.2 Configuring the Unit with the Web Browser

The web browser interface allows the user to configure the unit and also, if the unit is in IQMediaStimulus mode, generate a stimulus. The browser interface is divided into several sections. A brief overview is given here, but more detailed decription is provided in the ‘Network Monitoring and Analysis Systems Web Page Interface User’s Guide for Singulus G1-T and IQMediaMonitor M1’, which is located on the IneoQuest web site.

6.2.1 System Status

The system status page, Figure 9, lists the current configuration settings and port status of the monitoring system. Use appropriate configuration pages to change settings. This page includes several sections; System Status, SNMP Configuration, Port Configurations, and Global Parameter settings.

(34)

Figure 9 System Status HTML Page

6.2.2 Network Statistics Pages

The network statistics section includes HTML page links for viewing per port statistics for RMON and IP TOS, an overview of the currently detected media streams, multicast testing statistics, and the historical alarm log.

6.2.3 System

Configuration Pages

The system configuration pages allow the user to set and update the system management port IP configurations, system data and time, front data port IP configurations and packet morph configuration. After any fields are changed, use the Save&Reset System button to update located on the ‘Save Config’ page and reset the test system for changes to take effect.

Note: Remember, if the system IP address is changed you must change IP address in

your browser to reconnect.

6.2.4 Monitor

Configuration Pages

The Monitor Configuration pages allow the user to configure global parameters and alarms, multicast scan mode and parameters, and the ASI output port scan parameters. Global parameters are IQMediaAnalyzer/Monitor specific and affect the overall behavior stream acquisition. Global alarms parameters are those that effect unit level alarms. In the multicast configuration page, the IGMP mode (autoscan, manual or disabled) and stream join/leave characteristics. The ASI configuration pages control the characteristics of the rear panel ASI output stream.

(35)

6.2.5 Media Configuration Pages

The Media Configuration pages allow the user to configure IP Flow aliases, recognition characteristics, and alarm templates for both video and voice flows. Alias files can be either manually generated through these browser pages or downloaded into the unit via the ‘Download Configuration’ browser page. Using either method requires a ‘System Save and Reset’ for the settings to be saved after a power cycle.

6.2.6 Configuration Management Pages

The Configuration Management pages allow the user download new firmware releases into the unit, download and upload configuration files, save to FLASH the running configuration and reset the unit.

6.2.7 Account Management Pages

The Account Management pages allow the user to download or examine unit’s existing license status and set up user accounts.

6.2.8 Factory Management Pages

The Factory Management pages allow the user to view the current hardware level settings of the unit, such as original unit manufacture date, current firmware revision, unit and hardware component level serial numbers and a listing of the FLASH file system. The user also has the ability to upload the displayed information to a text file.

(36)

(37)

7 SNMP Communications

System configuration and alarm threshold settings can all be set with HTML pages as described in the previous chapter. Operational monitoring is done using IQMediaMonitor or another Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management tool. The detailed statistics and performance data describing the network traffic can be gathered using an SNMP management tool.

The IneoQuest IQMediaMonitor application can be used as the SNMP interface to setup single or test systems for network monitoring. Details describing the setup and operation the IQMediaMonitor application are included in a separate IQMediaMonitor application User's Manual.

For users familiar with or requiring the use of an SNMP tool other than IQMediaMonitor, the latest Management Information Base (MIB) is available from IneoQuest Technologies. A few basic notes regarding SNMP and the MIB:

• The default Get Community Name is public. This is a user-defined name. Refer to the SNMP configuration HTML page section of this chapter for details.

• The default Set Community Name is private. This is a user-defined name. Refer to the SNMP configuration HTML page section of this chapter for details.

• The Media Delivery Index (MDI) is displayed in microseconds.

• The network utilization and but rate thresholds are in percentages scaled up by 100. For example: a network utilization of 10 means 0.10%; the min. bit rate threshold of 2500 means generate an alarm if the stream bitrate goes 25% below the current bitrate.

• Users can change thresholds to their needs at runtime using SNMP. All the thresholds are in the Media Status Table.

• Users can clear the alarmlog using the SNMP MIB command clearLogTable in ioqFmAlmLog branch.

8 IQFirmware and IQSoftwareSuite Updates

The Singulus G1-T and IQMediaMonitor M1 operate using both firmware stored in the physical unit and application software executing on a PC connected via a management port to the unit. When upgrading a unit, both the firmware and IQSoftwareSuite applications should be downloaded to ensure there are no incompatibilities between the releases. There are two methods of updating the firmware in the Singulus G1-T and the

IQMediaMonitor M1; using the IQFirmwareUpdate application and via the web browser. Firmware prior of release 1.1a must be upgraded using the IQFirmwareUpdate application. IQFirmwareUpgrade is obsolete and not to be used on firmware releases after release 1.1a. The web browser method of upgrading firmware must be used.

Updated firmware files are available on the IneoQuest web site or FTP site listed below and must be downloaded to a local drive prior to running the IQFirmwareUpdate application or the web browser.

IneoQuest web site URL: http://www.ineoquest.com IneoQuest FTP Server: ftp.ineoquest.com

8.1 Upgrading a unit using IQFirmwareUpdate

The IQFirmwareUpdate application connects the host computer with the chassis via the chassis network port. The host and the Singulus must both be connected to a network that will allow a link between the two. Once the network link is established within the

IQFirmwareUpdate application, firmware can be remotely updated and the Singulus rebooted.

Note: If this application is not available please download the latest software from the

IneoQuest website.

Earlier versions of IQController contained a similar Update Firmware...

function within the IQController window.

The following steps outline how to update the firmware on the Singulus using the IQFirmwareUpdate application (Version 2.1.D and later).

(40)

• Download the intended firmware version file (.iqz file extension) to the host computer. The firmware is available from the Downloads area of the IneoQuest web site or from the IneoQuest FTP site.

• Start the IQFirmwareUpdate application. By default this application should be installed in an "IneoQuest" folder in the Windows Start menu, see Figure 10.

Figure 10 Start IQFirmwareUpdate Application

• The IneoQuest Firmware Update Application window will open. Click on the "Browse" button to find and select the downloaded firmware file then click on the Open button, see Figure 11.

Figure 11 Select firmware file

• The versions of all the files contained in the .iqz file will be displayed in the Update Firmware, Host Version section of this window, see Figure 12.

(41)

Figure 12 Host Versions

Input the IP address of the chassis to be updated into the Target Definition, IP Address location (also input the port if defined differently). Click on the Connect button. This will connect the IQFirmwareUpdate host application with the target chassis and compare the host file versions with the target file versions, see Figure 13.

.

(42)

• Files now shown with a green diamond have the same or newer versions on the target. Files shown with a red diamond have older versions on the target. Files in Figure 13 show all file versions match. Files can be updated (overwritten) even if they match.

• Click the Update All Files button to update all files in the connected chassis or select one or more files (also use CTRL+left mouse to select several or shift+left mouse for a group select) then click on the Update Selected button, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14 Select Files to Update

• After selecting the update button the target reboots into maintenance mode and the files get updated.

(43)

Figure 15 Updating Files

• The chassis reboots to show the updated files.

• The Reset Target button can be used with or without file updates to reset the connected chassis.

• Select disconnect to complete the process. The chassis will reboot when disconnect is selected or if the Firmware Update window is closed. Allow sufficient time for the chassis to reboot before connecting again with any application.

8.2 Upgrading a Unit Using the Web Browser

Firmware versions later than 1.0a support firmware upgrades using the web browser. The following steps outline how to update the firmware on the Singulus G1-T or IQMediaMonitor M1 using the web browser.

• Download the intended firmware version file (.iqz file extension) to the host computer. The firmware is available from the Downloads area of the IneoQuest web site or from the IneoQuest FTP site.

• Connect to the unit using the web browser by using the management IP address previously assigned to the unit.

• Select ‘Download Firmware’ from the menu at the left side of the browser page, under the Configuration Management pages section.

(44)

• At the ‘Browse’ button, navigate to the location of the firmware to be installed. The file will be a TB-XXXX.XX.iqz file for the Singulus G1-T or a MA-XXXX.XX.iqz for an IQMediaMonitor M1.

• After the file has been selected, press ‘OK’, then press the ‘Download Firmware’ button to download the file into RAM on the target.

• The unit will proceed to download the file into RAM on the target system. After the status message, ‘Firmware downloaded and Validated’, press the ‘Update Firmware’ button. The target will sequence through a series of status messages as it removes the previous version and decompresses the new version. When the update is complete, the target will indicate that it is rebooting and the user should wait 30 seconds before continuing.

• After the firmware update is complete and the target comes out of reset, it will be operating in IQMediaAnalyzer mode. It can optionally be reconfigured forIQMediaStimulus or IQController mode via the Operating mode browser page.
