MONITOR MASTER – PRODUCT PORTFOLIO STATIONARY TESTING
measuremeNt ProBes
Monitor Master software can run on a number of different platforms.
The simplest platform is a PC/Laptop running only a Monitor Master Software
Agent: this implementation is for customers who only require LAN/IP testing
capabilities. To test over-the-air service, one of Ascom’s proprietary hard-
ware agents is required.
Three different types of agent hardware are available at present, to
meet the varied requirements that you may have. Although each agent is
different in terms of capacity and size, they all support or implement the
following common technologies:
n
Microsoft
®
Windows XP based operating system
n
Support for GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, CDMA, EV-DO, WLAN, LAN, PSTN,
and ISDN interfaces
n
SIM multiplexing in conjunction with the SIM server platform
n
USB interface control allowing integration of USB devices, such as
modems for mobile broadband testing
Each agent is capable of running tests developed with Story Boarder,
the test creation tool, and automatically updates the data warehouse with
test data and metrics once a test has completed.
agent X1100
The Agent X1100 is a rack-mountable (19” rack, 3U high) hardware
appliance designed for large-volume service testing. It is capable of control-
ling up to eight modems or phones simultaneously. The modem “blades”
(four slots) can be swapped and are easily inserted and allows for easy field
upgrades as new faster modems are available.
agent X200
The Agent X200 is a smaller hardware appliance that can contain two
modem modules, a PSTN modem and a GPS unit. It is designed for portable
use, such as a deployment in a shop or a place of interest such as a sports
venue or airport.
agent X219
The Agent X219 is a 1U high hardware appliance designed for mounting
in a standard 19” rack. It can contain up to three modem modules and a
