ATT Channel Manager

In order to manage channels in the ATT DFW ecosystem, a DataMiner solution is required which can ingest and store channel data, and automatically initiates the generation of monitoring objects for those channels, known as DataMiner services.

About

The channel manager solution comes in the form of a single instance of a DataMiner Application that communicates with the ATT AVCM API to retrieve the channel information.

Configuration

Connections

HTTP Main Connection

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 443).
  • Device address: The bus address of the device. If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to use

  • The AVCM Pods Mapping table allows you to set the Compression Element either manually or automatically. If it is set automatically, the connector will check in the Protocols table and find the element doing a mapping between the Pod Service column and the Pod Name property.

  • The Custom Channels table can be imported using a CSV file with the proper format.

  • The Protocols table allows you to manually enter Compression Element protocols.
