SMARTPortal for headends

The AXING SMARTPortal enables simple remote maintenance of several headends and middleware servers. Through the SMARTPortal, you can access all headends and middleware servers that you have logged on to, group them together and set them with different access authorizations. You can use the SMARTPortal without additional software with any browser. Therefore it is independent from the operation system. You can access it via MacBook, mobile phone or tablet. The data is stored in the cloud and teh SMARTPortal is available worldwide. Secure transmission is guaranteed by encrypted transmission. You can grant AXING Support access on a case-by-case basis. The system distinguishes 3 roles: Owner, team member and shared user. The owner registers the devices in the SMARTPortal and assigns access rights. A team member gets access to all devices of the owner. A shared user can only access certain headends.

Functions in the SMARTPortal

In addition to middleware servers, headends and IPTV streamers as well as encoders can be controlled. You can make all settings for the headend, e.g. configure and sort input and output channels. If a change is made on a satellite transponder, enter the updated parameters. Copy the settings of a headend and import them into another headend of the same type to keep them in sync. Perform software updates or upgrades. Save your settings for the headends using the SMARTPortal. You can grant an in-house technician on site access to the settings, but retain full control. Access to the portal and system events are stored in a log file. If critical events occur, the system sends an e-mail to the owner.
