a tour of Xiscan Report
Xiscan provides summary reporting
features, accessible through a web-based
interface. From version 6 of Xiscan, the
Enterprise Edition also supports a batch
interface, allowing for scan reports to be
generated automatically.
Four classes of reports are available:
- Execution Report
- Comparison Report
- Audio Log Report
- User Audio Log Report
The Execution Report summarises the
results of a specific scan. It identifies the
telephone numbers associated with modems and
faxes, and also reports on the busy lines it found
(which can also be indicative of modem activity
depending on the time of day).
The Comparison Report provides all of
this information for a scan, but in addition
allows comparison with the results of an existing
archived scan. This allows changes in the
configuration of modems and faxes within your
telephone network to be tracked over time.
The Audio Log Report is an Enterprise
Edition feature added in Xiscan 6.1. It provides a
direct interface to some of the Call Analysis
functionality introduced with Xiscan 6. The report
allows a user to quickly review all of the calls
in an individual scan, and replay audio logs of
any calls of interest. This feature is incredibly
powerful: it can be used to immediately answer the
question of why a documented modem was not
detected for example.
Even better, in Xiscan 6.3 we added the User
Audio Log Report. Using simple XML syntax
you can create your own reports to mine the
databases for data that's of specific interest to
you.
Building Xiscan on top of a
non-proprietary database makes the vendor-specific
tools available to support non-standard queries or
presentation of results.
