Summary Menu

The Summary section of the Device Details tab provides General Information, Firmware Information, Auto-Link Information, System Usage, Exceptions, Network Information, Device Access, and VQM statistics. The only information on this screen that can be changed is the Device Access. Selecting the Edit button next to Device Access opens the Device Access dialog box, where changes can be made to the credentials. Refer to Changing or Setting Manage Access Parameters for more information.

General Info provides the name, type, platform, part number, description, serial number, hardware version, last backup time, contact interval, location, and system contact of the device. This information is all provided by the device. If no information displays for a specific entry, it is because none was provided by the device.

Firmware Info displays the running, primary, and backup firmware version. It also displays the size of the firmware files in bytes.

Auto-Link Info shows the settings for the auto-link configuration. Auto-link is the feature that allows the device to communicate with the server. This section indicates if auto-link is supported and enabled. It also displays the last time the device updated the server and when the next update is scheduled.

System Usage displays how much of the system resources (heap, nonvol, and processor) are being used by the device. This is identified by a percentage of the total resources available.

Exceptions lists the number of recent exception alerts. There are more details available for exception alerts by navigating to the Exceptions menu in the Device Details tab. Refer to Exceptions Menu for more information.

Network Info displays the domain naming system (DNS) name and the IP address of the device.

Device Access shows the name for the set of parameters being used to access the device. It also shows the name of the access credentials, IP address settings, port number, and the method used.

VQM is an optional section of the Summary menu. Not all devices have voice quality monitoring (VQM) statistics. If available, VQM statistics are provided in a summary graph at the bottom of the screen displaying the MOS LQ and Call Quality. The data can be filtered to show only a specific interface or to show a summary of all calls. To change the filter, select the down arrow in the upper right portion of the VQM summary section. The menu that appears lists the available interfaces and also the Summary option. Select one of the options from the list.

The time frames shown cover three different intervals: 1 hour, 12 hours, and 1 day. More details are provided for each interval in a tool tip by moving the mouse over the bar on the graph. For the MOS LQ graph, the pop-up window displays the number of calls and the latency queueing (LQ) average. For the Call Quality graph, the tool tip displays the number of calls and the quality represented by each color bar. For instance, green shows Excellent call quality and blue shows Good call quality. To review the data in greater detail, double click a bar in the graph. This brings up the detailed VQM Statistics menu, filtering the data based on the bar graph selected. If the bar graph you selected displayed only VLAN 2 calls, then the resulting VQM Statistics graph shows only data for calls on VLAN 2 calls. Refer to VQM Statistics Menu for more information.
