StreamView® Open Network Management System
PolarSat’s StreamView Open is a Network Management System (NMS) that provides a live dashboard for the entire VSAT system and interconnecting terrestrial network devices. The NMS provides displays of the network topology, individual station configurations and status, network configuration and control functions, alarm detection and response, and network management access control. It controls the VSAT Modem, RF, Multiplexer, and Routers though SNMP or optional serial port controls. The system is hosted on a Linux server and allows operators of various level access to screens shown below.
