NETWORK Management Software on WorldCast Codecs
Mode / Status ViewClick on any unit to see detailed configuration and connection settings. Graphical representation shows live status view of level bars and enables configuration of primary and back-up connections as well as Master / Slave status. |

Connection SettingsConfigure your IP network settings to transmit or receive unicast, multicast or multiple unicast streams. You can also set packet size, QoS and buffer levels to compensate for network jitter. Store up to 150 fully configured IP Speed Dials for simple, fast connection to frequently-used locations. X.21/V.35 and ISDN settings can also be extensively managed through this screen. |

Audio SettingsThis screen enables you to configure audio alarm levels and time-outs, set algorithms and data rates and establish pre-set configurations (audio profiles) which can be assigned to connection speed dials for ‘one-click connection’. |

SIP DiallerEnabling ‘one click’ connection, the SIP Dialler is an intuitive interface enabling the simple setup and teardown of SIP calls. It allows all commonly used destinations and settings to be stored in an address book for easy access by non-technical users. |

Alarms and Event LogsView and save logs of all connection activity and alarms through this screen. Logs can be filtered by event category e.g. major, minor or critical or by individual codec. |

Web BrowserWhen a user choses the dual IP ports port option on the WorldCast Astral or WorldCast Equinox, they automatically receive access to the APT web browser. The web browser application delivers the full functionality of the NMS but with the added benefit of being accessible from any location with an IP connection |

NETWORK Management Software on WorldNET OSLO
Audio SettingsClicking on any audio module enables configuration of the algorithm, resolution and bandwidth on that module. Level bars on each module also provide easy indicators of level status. Audio Level thresholds can be set for each of the four channels and other alarms such as Loss of Digital Input and Autosync can also be activated |
|
Network OverviewThe Network overview offers an at-a-glance indication of the condition of all units throughout the network. The unit’s appearance reflects its current status according to a suite of configurable alarms and alerts and any unit can be selected for control and configuration. |

IP Connection SettingsThe NMS makes setting up complex multicast applications as quick and painless as a simple point-to-point connection. Extensive configuration of audio parameters such as packet size, jitter buffers and QoS levels allows maximum control over network conditions. Audio performance can be monitored on a ‘per route’ or unit basis. For multi-transport networks, audio can be bridged from T1 or E1 networks onto the IP link. |

T1/E1 Connection SettingsThe T1 / E1 screen enables control and configuration of both the main and secondary (Drop & Insert) link as well as the external clock. Users can configure back-up options and bridge between the T1/E1 and IP Links. |

T1/E1 Timeslot AllocationThe NMS provides a powerful Timeslot Allocation tool which enables audio and data channels to be allotted space on both the transmit and receive paths. Drop and Insert applications can be easily set up and amended as required. New remote management functionality employs contact closures to trigger switching between national and localized content using selected timeslots. |

Alarms and LogsThe NMS enables all audio, unit and network alarms that have been set on the individual modules to be grouped into Minor, Major and Critical categories. When an alarm condition occurs, the alarm or alert status will be reflected by a change in colour or flashing unit on the network overview screen. The user can also view, filter and export extensive logs of network and unit-related events. |

Hierarchical View*All audio codecs can be managed in groups based on a hierarchical structure. This allows for codecs to be grouped by city, by state and by country and monitored from a single location. Alarms at a codec level are propagated up through all of the levels allowing early detection of faults developing throughout a network. A user can easily drill-down through the hierarchical map to locate the source of the alarm and take remedial action where appropriate. The hierarchical map views can be easily constructed with user-generated bitmaps, associating base IP addresses with each codec group. |
|
Journalist Panel Connection Wizard#The NMS provides a user-friendly tool enabling non-technical staff to quickly and easily establish & clear IP & ISDN connections. This tool guides the user through a logical sequence of entering a cost code (optional), selecting a destination (either manually, from speed-dials or from an SQL database lookup), choosing from a selection of pre-set audio profiles (covering audio algorithm and bit rate), establishing scheduling and timing of each connection. Dual Destination calls (ISDN) are also managed with this feature. |

Configuration UploaderEliminating the need to repeat time-consuming tasks on individual codecs throughout large networks, the configuration uploader enables the user to quickly and easily upload firmware, IP speed-dials, ISDN Speed-dials and audio profiles to a large group of multiple codecs. Upload can be manually controlled or scheduled for a specific date and time to minimize disruption. The information to be uploaded is retrieved from an SQL database allowing multiple configurations such as audio profiles to be uploaded to individual codecs or a single configuration to be uploaded to many codecs. |

Audio Profile Editor#Tools for editing the speed-dials and audio profiles in the database are also provided. |
