Visionic is a [[network management]][[computer system]] and [[network monitoring]] [[software application]] produced by '''Intorel'''.{{who|date=April 2012}} |
|||
In 2002, Intorel launched the first version of later to become its flagship product - [[Visionic]]. |
|||
'''Intorel SARL''' [http://www.intorel.com/index.php]was founded in 2001 as Limited Liability Company. Headquartered in Luxembourg, Intorel conducts business worldwide. Intorel’s solutions have been used by hundreds of ground stations, across 6 continents. |
|||
The company is a developer of advanced monitoring and control solutions for broadcast enterprises and satellite communications. Since 2001, Intorel has implemented a variety of customized solutions across satellite, broadcasting, telecom and many other industries. Some of the most distinguished companies around the world have established Intorel solutions as a part of their daily business. |
|||
In 2002, Intorel launched the first version of later to become its flagship product - [[Visionic]] . |
|||
The company’s products can be used for any industrial application that requires reliability, automation and advanced features, regardless of the type or size of an organization. In particular, Intorel products have been used for monitoring and controlling satellite earth stations, sat-com systems, TT&C stations, broadcast stations and other satellite-related systems. It may be the only M&C solutions company in the world that joined RF with DVB communication and scheduling under the same roof. |
|||
'''Visionic''' [http://www.intorel.com/index.php/company/about-us/about-visionic Vsionic] |
|||
Visionic is a Monitoring and Control Platform Solution that can encompass the whole organization, of any type and size. It serves as a basis for a wide range of Intorel M&C software products and comes in a variety of editions. Visionic is the answer to multiple, often contradictory requirements of different industries and various market segments. It combines the simplicity of a simple drawing tool and a power of complex M&C solution. |
|||
Visionic is designed to be used for any industrial monitoring and control that requires reliability, flexibility and fast implementation. In particular, Visionic software products have been used for: DVB-S/S2 Satellite Uplink/Downlink Stations, VSAT Systems, TT&C Stations, Fixed and Mobile Microwave Links, DSNG Systems, Fiber Optic Systems, DVB-T Encoding & Multiplexing Headends, ATM/SDH/PDH/IP Transport Networks and IPTV Head-ends. |
|||
It is designed to provide integration of all your NMS subsystems into a single, convenient solution. |
|||
Visionic is based on a simple idea – the engineer draws the system and this drawing is compiled into the standalone, |
|||
client-server solution. Visionic GUI, based on Microsoft Visio® contains libraries with hundreds of devices to |
|||
allow the user to a simple “drag and drop” of selected device into your system design. Using multi-page designs, the engineer can |
|||
present large system or systems in several alternative views. Visionic tools allow the user to set up each of your devices and |
|||
connect them to the network. |
|||
The M&C system needs very narrow network bandwidth to transfer its information to the GUI workstation. Typically, a |
|||
9600 bps link is sufficient to have near-real time performance. This allows the user to work correctly even if he is |
|||
connected via telephone or even GSM line |

''Off the Shelf System'' |
|||
Visionic is a commercial product, and does not require special equipment or software. Installation is fast and straightforward. |
|||
''User Interface'' |
|||
Following the well-known Visionic philosophy, system design is based on a simple “drag and drop” of selected device into your workspace. User interface is equipped with gradient elements and background drawing in high quality. |
|||
Custom dialogs, designed according to your preferences replace old-fashion dialogs. |
|||
''Clients'' |
|||
Unlimited number of clients per M&C server (royalty free) is allowed. Visionic5 new, modern user interface definitely provides both look and feel of well-known, familiar Office 2007 /2010 |
|||
''Devices Drivers Library |
|||
'' |
|||
Design libraries, incorporated in Visionic GUI, contain hundreds of devices. This feature allows you to draw your design to precisely resemble the real time system. |
|||
''Easy to use'' |
|||
Visionic is based on simple, familiar concepts, and it doesn’t require programming experience. It offers a unique user experience and considerably reduces the training time and effort. |
|||
''Multi-Page Design'' |
|||
Multi-page design allows you to see your system or systems in several alternative views. These different standpoints might provide you a new perspective and lead to new ideas |
|||
''Wizard Assistant'' |
|||
Visionic user interface incorporates design-time wizards, carefully developed to assist the engineer in system design and optimization. |
|||
''Simple & Centralized'' |
|||
Visionic5 offers all Visionic functions on one place (Visionic Starter). Project export includes all files required to run the system, including Visio and all drivers. Import effectively (re)installs the system on the computer. Visionic5 can operate without Internet connection, given the fact that all device drivers included in the installation package. |
|||
''Centralized Control |
|||
'' |
|||
When a system has multiple GUI workstations connected, the Visionic grants control of the system to one operator at any given time. This way, Visionic proofs your system against the possible human error. |
|||
''Automation and Macros |
|||
'' |
|||
Visionic integrated macro recorder and auto-backup elements are designed to allow any kind of automated response. |
|||
''Scheduled Actions'' |
|||
It is possible to define actions whose execution will be triggered by particular event or in predefined time intervals. |
|||
''Logging, Charting and Reporting'' |
|||
Every operation, alarm, alarm acknowledgement and any other user action is logged for further analysis. The logs can be stored on the local hard disk, in a form of text files, or in the database, for up to one year. Logs entries can be used for a detailed charting and reporting, based on any selection criteria. The selection criteria are fully definable by the operator. Visionic5 offers integrated replacement for RRDVisLogger. It is not dependent on IIS or SQLExpress and installation is included in Visionic, there is no separate MSI file. Charting and trending definition are part of the project. |
|||
''Alarm Manager |
|||
The system can execute any action in case of equipment's failure or alarm (SMS, phone call, e-mail/pager notification, industrial horn, etc…). In case of suboptimal conditions, the system will raise an alarm, assigned the severity level (major, minor, warning) represented by colour code. Acknowledgement function allows an operator to remove particular alarm from the list. In addition, events that triggered alarms can be exported to excel file. |
|||
''Colour coding'' |
|||
Colour-coding of the equipment and its various states allowing perception of the system state at a single glance. The system is refreshed on regular basis keeping the equipment and the colour of the lines always up to date |
|||
''Security Management'' |
|||
The Visionic supports several levels of security, allowing shared access between several operators with strict user rights management. |
|||
''Uplink Power Control'' |
|||
Poor weather conditions can seriously affect data transfer, including satellite transmissions, broadcasts or telecommunications. Visionic incorporates Uplink Power Control, a feature designed to prevent the signal loss or degradation and to ensure secure, seamless data transmission regardless of the weather conditions. UPC is based on simple, but efficient principle – it increases the transmission power of the uplink, thus taking over the function of hardware equipment such as amplifiers and significantly reducing the costs. |
|||
