Q-NET™ Navigator User Handbook

2022-04-24
●Q-NET™ Navigator (Figure 1-1) is a component of the Q-NET™ satellite hub-remote communications system. It is a lightweight, easy-to-use network management system for point-to-multipoint systems (incorporating Q-MultiFlex, Q-Flex™ and Q-Lite™ satellite modems). It can also be used to control any Paradise point-to-point system that uses Quantum, Evolution, Q-Flex™ and Q-Lite™ satellite modems.
Q-NET™ Navigator complements the use of Q-NET™ Bandwidth Manager, which is used for carrier planning and system monitoring.
The Q-Flex™ is a flexible software-defined modem that does what you want, now and in the future. The Q-Flex™ modem provides a flexible hardware platform with support for IF and L-band operation in one unit. Its powerful processor is ideal for handling IP traffic.
The Q-Flex™ modem can be fitted with virtually any type of terrestrial interface and will operate at data rates up to 160Mbps. The Q-Lite™ has a similar specification to the QFlex ™ but is compact, light and uses less power, making it ideal for comms-on-the-move or for minimising the amount of air-conditioned rack space required.
The Q-MultiFlex™ supports a modulator and up to 16 demodulators, enabling cost-effective point-to-multipoint IP operation. Q-MultiFlex™ is compatible with the use of QFlex™ and Lite™ modems at the remote sites. Q-MultiFlex™ scales to any network size.
This handbook will guide you through the process of installing and using Q-NET™ Navigator with your Q-NET™ system.
●Q-NET™ Navigator provides the following features:
■It provides a network view of all of the satellite devices in the network. These are displayed as a navigation tree structure, with devices collected together under user-defined groups that represent distinct parts of the system such as remote sites. Multiple networks can be controlled from one or multiple instances of QNET™ Navigator.
■Network configurations can be backed up and recalled using file import/expert features.
■Automatic status polling is supported for all devices in the navigation tree, giving instant visibility of all system alarms. In addition, alarms can optionally be masked by device and alarm category.
■The user can connect to any device in the navigation tree simply by selecting it, without having to remember IP addresses and login details. This brings up a web browser user interface for the particular device, which can be used to monitor and control every function. Q-NET™ Navigator will automatically connect to network devices over whatever communications path is available, including over satellite.
■When moving between devices, the application remembers the last web page being accessed on every device and will return to the same page when the device is next selected. Q-NET™ Navigator is password protected and supports secure M&C network communications.
■Q-NET™ Navigator is link aware and changes can be made to shared-outbound carriers from the hub and to inbounds from the remote sites as a single operation that is automatically synchronised throughout the system (meaning that the operator does not need to manually reconfigure all of the individual pieces of equipment). If the changes fail for any reason then all equipment will automatically revert back to the previous settings.
■Support is included for Virtual Network Operators (VNOs). This feature allows visibility and access to the underlying network to be virtualised on an operator-by-operator basis, meaning that the network owner can lease parts of the network to third parties.
■Q-NET™ Navigator provides seamless integration with Q-NET™ Bandwidth Manager. Both applications can be used in parallel to perform every network operation from provisioning of space segment to routine software upgrades of network devices.
