VoIP Monitoring on Converged Voice/Data Networks

The WhatsUp Gold VoIP Monitor precisely measures your converged IT network's ability to provide the quality of service (QoS) necessary for your VoIP calls on your LAN and WAN links. It is designed as a plug-in for all editions of WhatsUp Gold (Standard, Premium, Distributed and MSP) and works with WhatsUp Gold version 12.0 and higher.

Performance Monitors for Network Measurement
Eight new performance monitors, including six that measure jitter, latency, and packet loss from both source to destination and from destination to source, and two that provide values for ICPIF (calculated planning impairment factor) and MOS (mean opinion score). The performance monitors leverage IP SLA synthetic calls sent between VoIP devices, avoiding additional load on the network.

Active Monitor for Mean Opinion Score (MOS)
A configurable active monitor for MOS that can trigger an alert if network degradation causes the MOS value to drop below a user configured threshold.

WhatsUp VoIP Monitor Configuration Wizard
A configuration utility that scans the WhatsUp Gold database for IP SLA enabled devices and lets you select an IP SLA source device for gathering VoIP RTT (round-trip time) data. The wizard then steps through the set up for VoIP performance monitors, workspace views, and active monitors for the selected IP SLA enabled devices.

VoIP Monitor Workspace View
A unified view of VoIP performance metrics that is fully integrated with the management and reporting infrastructure of WhatsUp Gold. VoIP data is clearly presented in a single workspace view, and you can drill down into the underlying WhatsUp Gold functionality to troubleshoot network issues that could affect VoIP performance.
