EXata Coection Manager

The SCALABLE Coection Manager works in conjunction with the EXata platform to provide an easy-to-configure interface between the software virtual networks "inside" the platform and the live hardware and applications that are coected externally.  The Coection Manager makes EXata advanced emulation technology simple to use. Applications use the Coection Manager to run their network traffic over a SCALABLE software virtual network, and need no modification or customization to use the realistic emulated network in EXata.

Coection Manager supports a large variety of applications such as:

• Internet browsers
• Tactical communications
• Situational awareness information
• Sensor data
• Instant messengers
• VoIP
• Streaming video
• Multi-player games

To coect hardware-in-the-loop and to run applications on emulated nodes, including Internet-based applications and SNMP managers, it is required to coect the operational hosts with EXata ruing on the emulation server. Coection Manager application runs on an operational host and is responsible for managing the operational host’s networking configuration. Coection Manager is used to establish a coection between the host and the emulation server. When a coection is established, Coection Manager displays the list of emulated network nodes. Coection Manager can also be used to run multiple applications on different emulated nodes from the same operational host . After launching Coection Manager, a coection can be established between the operational host and the emulation server, either by manually providing the address of the emulation server, or by letting Coection Manager automatically detect the emulation server.
