Release Notes: IQ Central v1.12 - Peek Traffic

Announcing IQ Central v1.12Peek is pleased to announce the release of IQ Central, Version 1.12. There has been a longer thannormal period since the previous release, and consequently, this is a larger update. Version 1.12 ofthe software features many new features and several significant bug fixes. The IQ Central, Version1.12 upgrade is recommended for all customers.Product ..................................................................................................IQ CentralVersion ..............................................................................................Version 1.12Release Date .....................................................................................April 8, 2011Product RequirementsThis release requires one or more Windows compatible computers, running either the Windows XPProfessional 32-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, or Windows 7 Professional 32-bit operatingsystem. Business class PC hardware is required. For all of the reporting and export features to work,the system must also have Microsoft Office, either Version 2003 or Version 2007, installed andproperly configured on the system. If running the system as an IQ Central network, each IQ Centralserver and workstation will need to meet these requirements.Note: This version of IQ Central no longer requires the IQ Central Vista/Windows 7 patch inorder to operate under Windows 7. (IQ Central v1.11 required a simple patch that was installed asa single file (IQCentralVista7Fix.zip) on an existing IQ Central workstation.)Note:IQ Central is not supported on Windows VistaTo connect with field hardware, communications channels to those devices will also need to beavailable. Devices capable of using the NTCIP protocol natively, such as the Peek ATC-1000, ATC-2000, the ASTC family of controllers, or NTCIP video cameras, can be connected to IQ Centraldirectly via one of these communications channels. Other, non-NTCIP compatible controller that willbe connected to the software will need an additional piece of hardware; an IQ Connect ® translatorunit, installed somewhere near (or in the case of Peek 3000E controllers, within) the device. Andthe translator hardware will need to be running an up-to-date version of the translator firmware.Information furnished by Peek Traffic is believed to be accurate and reliable, however Peek does not warranty theaccuracy, completeness, or fitness for use of any of the information furnished.

Figure 3 – New LMD 40 Front Panel Display within IQ CentralFor the use of each of these new displays, there were a couple of minor interface changes within IQCentral.1. The display is launched from the map’s main context menu; it is no longer under the Zoom submenu.(This is only true for these three controller types.)Figure 4 – Launching the new front panel display from the Map context menu2. The CFP display can also be launched from the System status window via the context menu on a rowrepresenting any one of these deice types.Figure 5 – Launching the new front panel from the Status window3. When launched, background polling on that connection is halted to allow for the increased throughputneeded for real time display.Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Remote Alarm NotificationAlarms in IQ Central now have the capability to trigger and email or text message automatically.Configuration of this feature is performed using the Alarm configuration window. There are two newbuttons at the bottom of the window: Alarm Notification and Email Account. IQ Central alarm notificationrequires access to an SMTP email server, in the form of a server name and login. SMS messages can besent to cell phones and other mobile devices by sending an email to the wireless provider’s text messageemail gateway address.Figure 6 – Alarm Configuration Window – Alarm Notification and Email Account buttonsThe Alarm Notification dialog box is used to configure a list of users to be notified for which alarms. Thislist of users is independent of the users who have accounts within IQ Central. You can set up emails to besent to people who have no access to IQ Central. This list is the method to do this. When you first enterthis screen, there will be no users listed. Click on the Add User button to begin the process. This willdisplay the User Configuration window.Figure 7 – User Configuration window for Alarm NotificationThe top three fields are used to identify the recipient and to provide his or her email address, so IQ Centralknows where to send the alarm message. The bottom two thirds of the window is used to specify whichalarm types and for which devices, this person will be notified. When you are finished adding the user’sinformation, press OK to save it and return to the Alarm Notification User’s list. (See Figure 8)Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company. All rights reserved.Page 5 of 2999-427, Rev 12

Figure 8 – New user added to the Alarm Notification listPressing the Email Account button from the Alarm Configuration window will present you with the EmailAccount window, which has four tabs: Server Information, Authentication, Delivery Method, andCertificates. Most users will simply need to define the values on the Server Information and Authenticationtabs for most typical organizational email systems. Delivery Method and Certificates merely providerefinements on how IQ Central interacts with the email server.Figure 9 – Email Account dialog box for Alarm NotificationDefine the SMTP email server you will be using in the first field of the window and specify which port to useto connect to that server. The default for SMTP servers is port 25, but if that does not work, contact yourIT department to obtain the correct port number. The bottom two fields are used to configure how theemails that are sent via Alarm Notification are tagged with sender name and email address.On the Authentication tab, most systems simply require a login and password to send email through theserver. The Send Test Email button can be used to see if the connection to the server is configuredcorrectly. Press Save when you are done editing the server configuration values.Notification messages are processed by the Alarm server itself. The Alarm Configuration window or eventhe IQ Central front interface do not need to be open for alarms to be processed and emails sent.Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Multi-Language SupportThe entire IQ Central interface can now be displayed in English or Spanish, and the selection is preservedon a per-machine basis, so it is possible to have IQ Central on a workstation in Spanish while the serverinterface is shown in English. To change between the available languages, just select Tools -> Set CurrentLanguage from the IQ Central menus.Figure 10 – Set Current Language command on the Tools menuFigure 11 – Language selection dialog boxIQ Central does not need to be restarted after selecting the language. However, any child windows withinIQ Central that are open when you make the change will need to be closed and re-opened. And theselected language will automatically be reloaded on the machine at startup.A great deal of work has been done ‘under-the-hood’ on IQ Central to make this multi-language supportpossible, including a set of tools for easily adding new language support. So, more languages should becoming to the IQ Central interface soon.Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Map Configuration ReportWhen the BMP Map Viewer is configured with multiple bitmap image backgrounds, each with its own set ofplaced devices, it can be a bit confusing to manage the maps and associated devices, especially sincedevice placement can be different on different zoom levels of a map. In response to this, an additionalreport has been added to IQ Central. The Map Configuration Report lists the map files being used with alist of the devices on each one. The Map Configuration Report is available on both BMP and GIS basedmapping systems, but it is really only useful on the BMP version of IQ Central.Figure 12 – BMP Map Configuration reportThe report can be accessed by going to the standard IQ Central Reports module and selecting BMP MapReport from the list.

UTDF (Synchro) SupportIQ Central now supports UTDF V6 file formats for both import and export. This support is provided for theATC-1000, ATC-2000 and ATC CBD controller types. The actual functions of UTDF import and export arelaunched from the Upload/Download form via the Actions list. Each of these actions provides a step by stepprocess for exporting and importing the necessary file(s). As part of the import process, IQ Central alsoruns the necessary coordination check validation on the pattern data before importing it for the controllerin question.Figure 13 – UTDF Import and Export is launched from the Upload/Download Actions controlThe list of available actions shown here will vary by the type of device and what is supported.The complete list of items shown on the Actions control for each device type:ATC controllersCopy Device DataCoord CheckUTDF Import / ExportPDF ExportTraconex TMP390 CJ and J9 controllersCopy Device DataCoord CheckPDF ExportAll other controllersCopy Device DataPDF ExportWhen UTDF Import and Export is chosen from the Action menu, the window shown in Figure 20 appears.Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Issues Addressed in this ReleaseThe following are issues or enhancement requests that were reported based on previous releases ofIQ Central that have been repaired or addressed in the Version 1.12 update.Table 3 – Issues Repaired in IQ Central, Version 1.12Issue Resolution Case #Error when copying Map Pollingconfigurations (IQ Central v1.9)Export Data error on volume data(IQ Central v1.10)Traffic Responsive Export. Export window didnot display previously saved .csv files(IQ Central v1.10)Bitmap Viewer. Devices that were temporarilymoved on a map were not recalled to this ‘altlocation’ correctly if the map was scrolleddown or to the right and then backSome users reported a Pattern Monitorstartup error (IQ Central v1.11)Some users reported that the Local VolumeLog report could not be created.(IQ Central v1.11)Upload/Download Module (ATC-1000/2000 &LMD40 devices) Performing a ‘Get All’ actionwas showing changes on all tabs, even whenfew fields actually had different dataScheduler – Task descriptions were shown inUTC time, but Next Run time was shown inlocal timeKnown Issues Remaining in this ReleaseTable 4 – Known Issues remaining in IQ Central, Version 1.12This occurred only when a device polling configurationwas created and then immediately used as a the sourceof a copy function, before IQ Central could complete thesave of the configuration. The polling configurationrecord is now paused during the copy operation until theprevious polling configuration has finished being saved.4920This has been fixed. 4944The Traffic Responsive export window now displays allother .csv files that are currently stored in the selecteddirectory location.The alternate location (i.e. the location stored for adevice that has been moved during a Map viewingsession, as opposed to the position that was set for itduring initial Map Setup) has been modified to correctlyhandle the map scroll and zoom positions.49495423This has been corrected. 5504The report is now functioning correctly. 5847Empty cells in the table were triggering the ‘changed’flag, even when no change had been made. This hasbeen corrected.The description field in the Scheduled Tasks window nowalso shows Local time.Issue Workaround Case #61646541The Traffic Responsive module does notautomatically recognize changes to theconfigurationIQ Central running on workstations must beshut down before anyone uses the Exitcommand on the IQ Central Server Managerrunning in the toolbar on the server. If theserver manager is shut down first, this cancause disconnection errors on clientworkstations.A restore of an archived database is notproperly restoring the Volume Log Entrytable.Restart the Traffic Responsive module after changes aremade.If the workstation clients will not restart after theIQ Central server systems have been relaunched, theIQ Central server and workstations must be shut downand restarted again to clear up the error in the WindowsDCOM communications module.The problem is that the indexes in the Volume Log Entrytable get out of sync (tblVolumelogDetectorInfo) withthe parent table tblVolumeLogEntry. This filters down tothe Traffic responsive server which starts loggingduplicate index errors when it tries to commit newvolume log entries, thus complicating a restore of olderdata to the table.5800Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Installing IQ CentralIQ Central Version 1.12 should not be installed without the guidance of a Peek Traffic customer supportrepresentative. The following procedures describe how to install the software on a new system (seebelow) or how to upgrade a previous version of IQ Central to Version 1.12. (See Page 20)Installing IQ Central v1.12 on a New SystemStandalone Systems or the IQ Central Server1. On each system where IQ Central will be installed, verify that the operating system is either Windows XP32-bit or Windows 7 - Professional 32-bit. (IQ Central Version 1.12 is not compatible with Vista.)2. Verify that a properly licensed version of either Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007 is installed on eachsystem. All client machines and each server must be running the same version of Office.Note IQ Central has not yet been tested against Office 2010.3. If you are setting up a networked version of IQ Central, you will need to create an Admin account thathas rights across the Domain. This will be needed for IQ Central’s server modules, later in thisprocedure, so record the name and password for later use. If you plan to install a single-computer IQCentral system, then you will simply need an Administrator level user account for that system.4. Locate the license key for IQ Central. This code should have been provided along with the installationCD. If not, contact your Peek Traffic service representative in order to request a valid license key.5. Log in to the computer using an account that has administrative rights to this computer. In particular,the account needs to be able to start and stop Windows Services.6. Insert the IQ Central installation CD into the optical drive of the workstation where you want to installthe program.7. If auto-run is not configured on this drive, open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the drive.Locate the Setup.exe installation program and double-click it. This will launch the installation program.Figure 18 – IQ Central Installation menu8. Choose the Install IQ Central button.9. Follow the directions on-screen. You will need to accept the software license in order to install theprogram.10.

Upgrading to IQ Central, Version 1.12If upgrading from a previous version of IQ Central, we recommend that you first make backup copies ofthe IQ Central database and associated files, and then un-install the earlier version of the application. Forsuch system updates, additional conversion work on the earlier IQ Central database may need to beperformed by a Peek Traffic technician prior to use. Please contact the Peek Traffic Technical Support team(Refer to page 29) for additional information about upgrading IQ Central.An Upgrade is similar to a new installation, except you will probably want to maintain the settings of yourprevious database through the install. To do this, there are a few extra steps at the beginning of theupgrade process.ImportantWhen performing an upgrade, it is tempting to simply uninstall the programand then install the new one from the CD or file. Do NOT do this! WhenIQ Central is uninstalled, the old database is not removed from your system.And when the update runs, it will see the old database and NOT install thenew one. This is fine, in that you will be retaining your old information,however, you will not be receiving any new tables or data structures that areneeded by the newer version of the software. If this happens, IQ Central willstart up as expected, but when it does not find all of the tables it needs, it willbecome, shall we say . . . “confused.”Also, don’t forget the DCOM steps, or IQ Central will be unable to access theDataManager.For these reasons, we highly recommend that you follow the upgrade stepsas described below.Preparing for the Upgrade to Version 1.121. Launch the old version of IQ Central.2. Choose the Tools menu and then select the Archive and Restore module.3. Select the Archive Current Database radio button, and then press the Archive button near thebottom of the window.Release Notes: Announcing IQ Central v1.12Copyright © 2011 Peek Traffic Corporation, a Signal Group company.

Choose Save to start the archiving.6. When the database archiving is finished, close the Archive and Restore module, and then exit out ofIQ Central.7. Locate your old IQ Central map files. By default, the standard map files directory is located atC:\Program Files\Peek Traffic\IQCentral\MapFiles\. Copy all of the files in this directory to abackup location and note where you have placed them.8.
