Nevion Flashlink Frame
The Nevion Flashlink transport system offers signal processing solutions for broadcast environments. The Nevion Flashlink Frame connector is the solution designed to monitor this system.
This SNMP connector is a DVE manager that will create a Dynamic Virtual Element for each supported module type on the frame. For each of the supported and installed card types, a child element is created. Depending on the card type, various tables are shown (with a page per table).

Configuration
The Nevion Flashlink Frame is an SNMP connector. The IP needs to be configured during creation of the element. When a new element is created, the DVE child elements will be created in the same view as the main element.
Usage
