Data Stream Manager - NetComm NWL-12-01 User Manual

Data stream manager

The data stream manager provides you with the ability to create mappings between input ports and output ports (e.g. Serial Port,
SMS, GPS, USB) and performs any required translation or data processing by each virtual data tunnel. Customers interested in
developing their own applications to create custom mappings can contact NetComm Wireless about our Software Development Kit.
The data stream manager provides a wide range of possibilities and expands upon simple PAD functionality to include the
forwarding and translation of data between any of the input and output ports of the router. Certain accessories connected via the
USB port such as USB to Serial cables are also supported. For example, you could send the GPS data received by the module (in
NMEA format) through the built-in serial port or out of the USB port using a USB to Serial cable. In each case, the logical flow of
data is from Endpoint A to Endpoint B.
Creating a new data stream
To create a new stream:
1. Click the +Add button on the right side of the page.
2. Click the Activate toggle key so that it is in the ON position.
3. In the Data stream name field, enter a name to identify the mapping on the Data stream list.
4. Under the Endpoint A section, use the Type drop down list to select the desired input port, for example Serial, SMS
messaging or GPS. Use the Mode drop down list to select the input port's mode of operation. Some endpoint types and
modes may result in extra options being displayed below Endpoint A. Use the drop down lists to select the correct
parameters for the input port.
5. Under the Endpoint B section, use the Type drop down list to select the desired output port, for example Serial, IP, or
SMS messaging. Use the Mode drop down list to select the output port's mode of operation. Some endpoint types and
modes may result in extra options being displayed below Endpoint B. Use the drop down lists to select the correct
parameters for the output port.
6. Click the Save button to confirm your settings and create the new data stream. The new data stream appears in the Data
stream list.
