SpeedCast Smart SatManage

The SpeedCast Smart SatManage connector can be used to retrieve data from a SatManage portal.

About

The connector uses the SatManage API to retrieve data over HTTP.

A DVE is created for each site, though it is possible to enable/disable specific sites.

The GPS coordinates of each site are tracked and logged in a table. This table can be used for location trace capabilities in DataMiner maps.
