Introduction - WinEyeQTM Probe

The WinEyeQ Probe is used for monitoring and analyzing voice over IP communications utilizing the ITU standard H.323 protocol, the IETF standard SIP protocol, and SCCP protocol. The WinEyeQ Probe gathers statistics on calls with more than 650 individual call metrics per call. Upon completion of a call, the WinEyeQ Probe summarizes the results of the call and reports them to a central aggregation facility. A typical transaction supplies 110 metrics on call signaling, media quality, and key performance indicators. Calls with quality issues, report more than 215 additional metrics to aid in diagnostic procedures. The WinEyeQ Probe can also interface with legacy systems to supply call quality data for reporting and billing systems as well as all essential metrics for SLAs (Service Level Agreements).

Scope

The scope of this document is the installation and configuration of the components that together constitute the WinEyeQ Probe.

Overview - Net Optics® TP-CU 10/100BaseT Tap

Net Optics® 10/100BaseT Taps supply networks with visibility and security access. The design of the Net Optics® 10/100BaseT Tap ensures zero impact on network traffic while maintaining uninterrupted access for monitoring and security devices. Net Optics®’ design ensures that any loss of power to the tap is transparent to the network, and does not affect the flow of traffic through the tap.

Simply Plug It In

Full-duplex monitoring is a snap with a custom monitoring cable that sends each side of the signal to a separate NIC on the monitoring device.

Security and Visibility

Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

Reliability

Net Optics® 10/100BaseT Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the tap indicate the current power source - even if power is lost and reapplied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.

Note:

The WinEyeQ Probe that is connected to the tap can see all traffic as if it were in line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.

Steps required PRIOR to the installation of the WinEyeQ Probe

1. Make sure the Customer Edge Router (CER) has been configured as documented in the CER Customer Configuration Guide. The Guide for IP Flex on AVPN can be found on the following website:

The following procedure should be performed in a maintenance window as it will briefly interrupt WAN traffic on the network.

1. Disconnect the cable between the WAN router and its neighboring LAN switch or voice border controller device.

2. Please keep any cables that have been disconnected for possible future use.

3. Connect the network ports (A and B) of the tap according to the network topology shown in one of the diagrams from Appendix A. If you choose not to use the cables supplied with the tap, please pay careful attention to the cable type noted in each of the network topology diagrams and the cabling guidelines below:

a. Use straight-through cables (purple) to connect the network link tap ports to a Router or NIC.

b. Use a cross-over cables (green) to connect the network link tap ports to switches and hubs. [The tap is wired as a layer 2 device]

4. After both “Network A” and “Network B” cables are connected, each of the network devices on both ends should indicate a connected status. If not please refer to the full network diagrams in Appendix A and verify the correct cable configuration.

5. Connect the network tap to at least one power source. Verify that the LED for that power source is lit. Only one power supply is required, you may optionally connect the second power supply to an outlet on a different circuit if desired. Note that a loss of power to the Tap will not impede the flow of traffic from LAN to WAN or WAN to LAN. On the back of the TP-CU tap there are two clips that support each of the power plugs, please be sure the support clips are installed.

Note: After you have completed steps 1 - 4 above, it is safe to stop the installation and resume at any time in the future.

Step 3 - Connect the WinEyeQ Probe PC

Preparing the WinEyeQ Probe PC for installation

The power supply’s voltage selection for your location is typically set at the factory, but you should verify that the switch is set to the proper voltage for your location. Use the power selection switch on the back of your WinEyeQ Probe PC to set the voltage to either 115VAC or 230VAC. Lack of a switch on the power supply indicates that the supply is auto switching and will not need to be changed by the end user.

Note:

• Touchstone has already preformed the software installation of required software.

• There is NO monitor, keyboard, or mouse shipped with this system.

• The program is set to start upon power up.
