Abstract
A channel plan and a corresponding test plan are implemented in connection with a plurality of nodes that communicate signals. The channel plan enables a monitoring system to conduct automatic periodic test plans, comprising tests, on the nodes, based upon data specified in the channel plan. Each test plan prescribes measurement of at least one signal parameter, pertaining to one or more nodes and/or to one or more channels contained within the nodes. The monitoring system includes a spectrum analyzer, a switch enabling the spectrum analyzer to interface with the nodes, and a controller. Navigation interface logic is configured to generate a universal interface component on the display device, one or more group level interface components on the display device, one or more node level interface components on the display device, and one or more channel level interface components on the display device.
