User Documentation

The Web Monitoring Systems Manager (WebMSM) consists of two software applications:

Web Monitoring Systems Manager

Web Monitoring Systems Manager Conﬁguration Editor

With the conﬁguration editor, you can set up graphical representations of complete networks. The network operator can then use the WebMSM to monitor the error status of the whole network and, where necessary, drill down to the user interfaces of individual DTV Monitors.

This manual, PDF (portable document format), is included with the WebMSM and WebM from the Tektronix Web site. A PDF Reader is available from the Adobe Web site (www.adobe.com).

Also available from the Tektronix Web site are the MTM400A and RFM300 DTV Monitor Quick Start User Manual (071-2492-XX) and Technical Reference (077-0175-XX).

Overview

The Web Monitoring Systems Manager (WebMSM) consists of two software applications: the WebMSM and the WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor.

The WebMSM provides the network operator with complete visibility of the error status of all of the DTV Monitors identiﬁed in a transmission network.

The WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor enables the network manager to design and set up geographic and network-based schematic hot spot views. Using these views in WebMSM,

it is then possible to view the error status of the complete network and, when required, drill down to and open individual DTV monitor remote user interfaces to view stream and device data.

The DTV monitor user interface and its operation is described in the DTV user documentation. (See Table 1-1.)

The WebMSM features, including conﬁguration selection and password management, are all accessible through the WebMSM Control Panel.

Conﬁguration of network-based systems may use one or more of the following views: Hot Spot, Stream and Device. Each view is provided by a separate application that handles a different aspect of system management and monitoring.

DTV monitor user interfaces can also be viewed directly using the DTV monitor viewer. Using the viewer negates the need to download the DTV monitor remote user interface (RUI) each time that a DTV monitor is accessed.

A large network may have a dedicated Web server that holds the WebMSM Conﬁguration ﬁles. Users of the system would have WebMSM installed on their own personal computer (PC); they may then choose to use either their own local WebMSM conﬁguration ﬁles or the WebMSM conﬁguration ﬁlesheldbythe

System Security is facilitated using password ﬁles. These are held on individual

V monitors or on a central Web server.

The user interface can also be accessed by the DTV Monitor Viewer.

Although a user can access multiple DTV monitors through multiple instances of the DTV Monitor Viewer, this is not recommended as a normal working practice.

Passwords

Security access is controlled by a combination of user names and passwords. Currently two user names are available:

User, enables monitoring only access to the DTV monitors.

Administrator, in addition to monitoring access, allows a range of device parameters to be set on the DTV monitors.

Each user name may be allocated a password by the Administrator. The user name and password details are stored in a password ﬁle, which may be stored locally or on a Web server.

The following diagram shows the possible locations for the password ﬁle and the accessibility:
