1. What is VQManager?
ManageEngine VQManager is a powerful, web-based, 24x7 real-time
QoS monitoring tool for VoIP networks. It enables IT administrators
to monitor their VoIP network for voice quality, call traffic,
bandwidth utilization and keep track of active calls, failed
calls, endpoints activity etc.. VQManager can monitor any device or user-agent that
supports SIP, H.323, Cisco SCCP (Skinny) and RTP/RTCP.
2. Why do I require a VoIP Monitoring Software?
VoIP has revolutionized the entire telecommunication industry
by enabling communication through various multimedia applications.
Deployment of VoIP infrastructure alone is not sufficient to reap
the real benefits. A sound monitoring system should be in place
to check the quality of the VoIP infrastructure continuously. Monitoring
the call traffic, call quality, success to failure ratio, analyzing
the reasons for failed calls and poor quality calls is important
for ensuring customer satisfaction.
3. What types of devices can VQManager monitor?
VQManager can monitor any device or user-agent that supports SIP, H.323, Cisco Skinny
and RTP/RTCP. Apart from these supported devices, VQManager can also import and process CDRs to display the call statistics and quality information.

12. I am using a higher-level Network Management System. Is it possible to integrate VQManager with it?
It is possible to integrate VQManager with higher-level Network Management System Via SNMP. The VQManager allows the administrator to set up the list of SNMP trap listeners to forward the SNMP traps. By specifying the required SNMP parameters, the embedded VQManager SNMP agent can generate appropriate SNMP traps and forward to the defined entries.
13. Can VQManager generate email alerts?
When something goes wrong with the call quality, it is important
that the administrator is alerted on the same in order to initiate
some corrective action. VQManager can generate alarms when a particular
vital parameter goes beyond a particular value - for instance, number
of incomplete calls going beyond a particular value. You can specify
the criteria based on which the alarms are to be generated and VQManager
can be configured to send email alerts whenever an alert is generated.
