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.

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

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:

Installation

Minimum Requirements

This section describes the procedures for installing the WebMSM and the WebMSM Co nﬁguration Editor applications onto a personal computer (PC). Use these procedures to reinstall the software if it is deleted or becomes corrupted.

Installation is described in two parts:

User installation: Installation of WebMSM application.

A user has access to WebMSM and the monitoring functions that it provides. Security, in the form of passwords, will be advised by the Administrator.

Administrator installation: Installation of WebMSM and the WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor application.

An administrator has access to the WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor and WebMSM. The WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor allows the Administrator to conﬁgure the system and allocate passwords.

The minimum requirements for a client PC running the WebMSM applications areasfollows:

1.2 GHz Intel P entium Processor

1GBRAM

30 MB free disk space

rosoft Windows XP operating system

Mic

1024 x 768 pixel video monitor with 256 available colors

Ethernet: 10/100 B ase-T; RJ45

MTM400A or RFM300 DTV Monitor

It is assumed that the DTV Monitor and the Client PC are networked together. (Refer to the MTM400A and RFM300 DTV Monitor Technical Reference.)

If not present initially on the client PC, t he Sun Java Virtual Machine is installed automatically during installation of the WebMSM.

NOTE. If the user does not have Windows administrative rights, attempting to

install the Java Virtual Machine will elicit an error message, and then go on to indicate success. However, the installation will not succeed.

Only an operator designated as an administrator can create or edit a password ﬁle for use by the WebMSM. It is assumed that a user acc essing the WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor is an administrator, and therefore no password is required to open the application. However, both a user and an administrator require a password to access the WebMSM.

Passwords must be set for a n ew installation. A common password ﬁle can be used for multiple installations if the ﬁle is accessible by either a network or aWeb

User Interface Overview

The WebMSM Control panel provides a gateway to the WebMSM functions (using the Conﬁguration menu) and a means of setting up the security (password) options.

Hot Spot View

The main po is through the Conﬁgurations menu in the Control Panel - speciﬁcally the Conﬁguration > Select option which opens the Select Conﬁguration dialog box.

The Select Conﬁguration dialog box lists the available conﬁguration entry points as deﬁnedintheConﬁguration List. An entry point may be either a Hot Spot view, or a Stream or Device view on a speciﬁc DTV monitor; this will depend on the conﬁguration set up using the WebMSM Conﬁguration Editor.

The Hot Spot view allows the overall state of streams and DTV monitors to be viewed in a graphical environment. Hot spots are icon-like images placed at strategic points on a background image of a map or system diagram and linked to a device, a stream, or another hot spot view.

The Hot Spot window is split into a main panel and a status banner; the latter may be hidden. The main panel can display a background map, a system diagram

milar graphic information. Also visible in the main panel are hot spots;

Hot spots can also be displayed on thestatusbanner,butinthiscasethe background of the status banner itself will indicate the highest error state of any hot spot (device, stream or othe r hotspot view). If no errors are present, the status banner background will be green.

Using WebMSM

Color Coding

If a user clicks

on a hot spot with the left mouse button, the linked WebMSM view will be opened. For example, if the hot spot represents a stream, the Stream view will be started for the stream. If the hot spot represents another hot spot view, the linked Hot Spot view will be opened.

The Hot Spot view may also be conﬁgured so that clicking the right mouse button on a hot spot highlights a set of hot spots. This may be useful for highlighting stream and DTV monitor hotspots that relate to the same monitoring unit.

In setting up the WebMSM user interface, a choice is offered between changing the button colors and changing the button background color. (See page 2-23, Hot Spot Images.) The following table shows the color scheme where the background color option is chosen:
