5.3.14 MPEG Test
The MPEG Test feature allows the user to setup, monitor, and view the results of MPEG tests run on the iMG/RGs in a
network. With the feature the user can set up a “Network Test” across multiple iMG/RGs in a network. Once set up, the
AlliedView NMS runs an MPEG test on the selected iMG/RGs using the mpeg testing functionality included with the iMG/RGs
devices. The AlliedView NMS collects the results of those tests and stores them in the NMS database, where they can be
viewed. (Note that once a day test results are deleted that is older than seven days.)
To access the feature, the user accesses the application as described in 5.3.1. The user can also go to Network Inventory,
select the RG table, choose the appropriate iMG/RGs, right click, and select MPEG Test from the pull-down. Refer to the
following figures.

To start the test, the user selects a set of iMG/RGs from the table and selects the now active “Create MPEG Test” button.
This brings up the Create MPEG Test Form, shown in the following figure.
