IPK II VoIP Management System
Description
The Electra Elite IPK II VoIP Management (IVM) System efficiently monitors and manages the
performance of enterprise VoIP networks and provides multiple monitoring tools for the NEC IPK Key
Systems with IAD(8)-U10 ETUs. The IPK VoIP Management Remote Unit and the IPK VoIP
Management software are included in the system that is installed on a centralized server (Qovia
Central). Together these products closely monitor voice performance in the converged network, notify
system administrators concerning performance anomalies, and allow Information Technology (IT) teams
to manage voice infrastructure components remotely.
 The IPK VoIP Management System currently supports only the IAD(8)-U10 ETU VoIP applications. The
PVA(X) applications are not currently supported. The PVA(X) ETU with CCIS application can be added to
the database, but the MoS scores are inaccurate. The PVA(X) ETU with MG16 and associated terminals
cannot be added to the database.
HIGHLIGHTS

Centralized monitoring using one simple user interface

Intuitive, remote system and network performance monitoring

Secure, role-based system user administration
ARCHITECTURE
The IVM Remote Unit connects to the network using Ethernet and captures the Voice Network call
quality metrics. The “virtual hands” of the Management Remote Unit collect the real-time call quality data
and report it to Qovia Central for aggregation and display. The IVM Remote Unit interfaces with the NEC
IPK Key system, LAN switches, and a UPS to provide dedicated VoIP monitoring and management
abilities. Depending on the size and design of the customer network, a solution may include one or more
IVM Remote Units.
The WEB-based IVM Software integrates with the IVM Remote Unit and provides a consolidated
Instrument panel view to monitor the VoIP Infrastructure for one or more locations. The software
aggregates the real-time data collected by the IVM Remote Unit and displays it in easy-to-read graphs
and charts.
Enhancements
Version 1500 or higher is required to support this feature.
