2. Call Quality: Select the type of call quality monitoring, by Zone or Network
3. Vendors: Select whether to aggregate the vendors in a single view or separate them in different views
4. Zone file: Name of the Zone definition XML file sent from the ServicePilot Manager to the Agent. The source will be taken from the <WorkFolder>\Conf\VoIPAgent directory.

Notes

If configuring a ServicePilot Agent to split Call Quality Statistics by network zone then a zone XML file defining the zones needs to be placed in the following location:

• In the Conf folder for the ServicePilot Manager:

  <Work Folder>\Conf\VoIPAgent\VoIPAgent_Zones.xml

  The following example can be used as a template for the zone XML file defining your zones:

  <zones> <zone name="Europe">   <zone name="London">     <includes>       <single ip="10.1.1.5" />     </includes>     <excludes />   </zone>   <zone name="Other Europe">     <includes>       <subnet ip="10.1.0.0" mask="255.255.0.0" />     </includes>     <excludes />   </zone> </zone> <zone name="US">   <zone name="Other US">     <includes>       <subnet ip="10.2.0.0" mask="255.255.0.0" />     </includes>     <excludes>       <range from="10.2.1.5" to="10.2.1.10" />     </excludes>   </zone>   <zone name="Boston">     <includes>       <range from="10.2.1.5" to="10.2.1.10" />     </includes>     <excludes />   </zone> </zone> <zone name="Mauritius">   <includes>     <subnet ip="10.3.0.0" mask="255.255.0.0" />   </includes>   <excludes /> </zone></zones>
