DataMiner Connectivity Framework

The 1.0.0.x connector range of the CPI HPA SNMP protocol supports the usage of DCF and can only be used on a DMA with 8.5.7 as the minimum version.

DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and through DataMiner third-party connectors (for instance a manager).
