Interfaces
This option performs an internal test of the following interfaces:
•
“Audio”.
For each input and output, peak values, noise and status can be visualized by means of graphical view-meters; in
addition, the transmission and reception streams can be seen.
Finally, it is possible to generate a tone (Tone Loc.) to test the speaker volume, and the selection of “Tx Tone” during a
connection will generate an audible tone at the remote system.
•
“Video”.
In this section you can view information on the active video input type and the video standard in use.
•
“Network”.
In this menu you can view information about the detected interfaces.
For ISDN accesses an LED status indicator is available:
Red – BRI access is disabled or in error.
Yellow – BRI access is functioning, but Level 1 is not active.
Green – Level 1 is active.
Connection Status
This section contains information about call status, including parameters such as incoming and outgoing audio and video
bandwidth, incoming and outgoing video frame rates, and protocols in use. The “Connection status” page is displayed in a
window overlaid on the current video. The CANCEL key on the remote control can be used to change the transparency. To
move within the table, press the OK key, then use the up and down arrows keys to navigate. To exit the page, press the left
arrow keys.
ISDN
In an ISDN call, you can check certain data about the connection: rate, audio encoding, video encoding, frames/sec., and
status of data channels.
In addition, by going to the “Accesses” icon and pressing OK, you can enter a page of advanced diagnostics, used to monitor
in greater detail the state of individual ISDN accesses.
For each access you can see whether it is configured or not, whether it is active or not, and for each single access channel
you can gain information such as the state, the number, cause of disconnection, “Error H.221” messages, and the delay.
IP
For IP calls, you can check certain data related to the Audio and Video IP connection: bit rate, audio and video encoding types,
frames/packets (for audio), frames/sec. (for video), and number of lost packets.
NIC
For NIC calls you can check a series the following data about the connection: bit rate, audio and video encoding types,
frames/sec., and DATA channel status.
