Start Data Transmission

To start data transmission, we need to run a script to alert Digi Remote Manager that we want data sent to Exosite. This is done from the API explorer. Select the icon shown in the image below:

Once at the API explorer, navigate to the getVendorSetMonitor endpoint and hit "TRY". This initiates a script that handles the connection to the Digi Remote Manager.
