To what extent can we manage a device with the Videoflow DVP1000 driver?
I checked the datasheet of the device. It seems multiple protocols can be used to communicate with it, including REST.
Does anyone have experience with projects that included this device as core device (DVA/DVP)?
Running as a VM in a (private) cloud, in a pure hardware setup or embedded in a DVP management system, … Hard to evaluate the driver class …
Anyone out there who can enlighten me?
TQ~
This is a CAT-II driver that is available off the shelf (assuming we are talking about this device). You can find more integration details in the catalog. There you can see that it uses an HTTP connection, and find also a brief description of the type of information that is retrieved with the current version of the driver (managing ports, manage streams, etc.). Of course, if anything would be missing, that could be added, all Skyline developed drivers for DataMiner are guaranteed to support any readings and controls available on the target product.
Hi Jacky,
In this case it would be important to know if all possible hardware implementations support all of the control and monitoring platforms listed above. If so, probably the driver would be implemented using either SNMP or the REST API. To make an educated choice between these it would be important to review the documentation of both protocols to see which functionality is supported by each interface method.
