Configuration
Connections
HTTP Connection - MAIN
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: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.
HTTP Connection - REDUNDANT
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: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify BypassProxy.
Redundancy
This connector supports redundant polling. Because of that, you can configure two connections when creating or editing an element. When one of the connections becomes unavailable, DataMiner will automatically switch to the other connection.
Initialization
When you have created the element, you need to configure the API authentication token on the Configuration page. This so-called "Bearer" token can be created and obtained from the web interface of the device.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
How to use
All communication between DataMiner and the device goes over the HTTP REST API. An OpenAPI spec file, which fully describes the API, can be downloaded from the web interface. This file can be imported in tools like Postman for debugging and testing purposes.
DAB Monitor Page
The DAB Monitor page contains a table that lists DAB Monitors. Each row is a combination of the entity and Docker container. DAB monitor entities are the parent structure for DAB monitor containers. The DAB monitor entity is long-lived and remembers important metadata for the more short-lived container.
To create or remove items, use the right-click menus of the tables. Entities can only be removed when the corresponding container is already removed.
When you create a new DAB monitor container, you can configure multiple sources in the source list by separating them with a comma, as shown in the following screenshot:
UDP Proxies Page
The UDP Proxies page contains a table with all configured UDP proxies. The same distinction between entity and encoder also exists here.
Configuring UDP proxies works in the same way as configuring DAB Monitors (see above).
Network Page
The Network page provides a list of all available (VLAN) networks on the device. These networks can be assigned to an UDP proxy.
To create or remove Macvlan networks, use the right-click menu of the table.
When you create a new Macvlan network, you can include several configuration items by providing the list of configuration parameter values (Subnet, IP Range, and Gateway) as a comma-separated list. Make sure to include the same number of entries for Subnet, IP Range, and Gateway. For example, to add 2 configuration items, provide 2 subnets (separated by comma), 2 gateways (separated by comma), and 2 IP ranges (separated by comma).
You can also configure multiple types and tags by providing a comma-separated list.
Users Page
The Users page provides a list of all the orchestration users.
To create, modify, or remove a user, use the right-click menu of the table.
Certificates Page
The Certificates page provides the status of the TLS certificate slots.
Via the right-click menu of the TLS Certificates table, you can install a TLS certificate (or replace an existing certificate with a new one) and delete the TLS certificate for a slot.
