The different HTTP request methods used for transactions:

• PUT – request method that updates the state of the element.
• POST – request method that creates a new instance of the element type.
• DELETE – request method that deletes an element.
Note that this v3.12 VMS release provides only a small subset of calls support-
ing exclusion bandwidth control. For more information on the RESTful inter-
face, refer to the VMS REST ICD.
CDM-760 Device Driver
A new Vipersat SNMP device driver has been added to the VMS to support
Out-of-Band switching services for the CDM-760 modem/router.
Operations Monitor
The Operations Monitor is a modeless pop-up dialog used to present the status
of a pending operation which would ordinarily block the VMS client (Viper-
View) from initiating any additional actions until the previous operation is
concluded. The user can now execute multiple commands simultaneously
without blocking occuring in the client.
A window pane for each pending operation displays a description which can
include the name of the associated external unit, or the number of associated
external units if there are more than one. The initiation time followed by the
number of seconds since the operation started is also displayed. In addition,
some operations have a progress message.
For example, a pending image upgrade indicates how many packets have
been transmitted so far, as well as the total number of packets. When the
operation is completed, a green or red icon appears to indicate success or
failure.
Multi-Select
The client Multi-Select feature allows much more control and flexibility for an
operator to modify multiple sites, units, or devices at random or contiguously
for different types of operations by holding the Shift or Ctrl key during selec-
tion. The example below shows multiple sites selected presenting either Diag-
nostic Revert or Reset control. This type of selection control facilitates grouped
operations, expediting many different processes.
