Starlink - Dashboard

This manual guides the user through the steps required to set up and use the Starlink screen in Kognitive Cloud. The Starlink screen enables the user to view the amount of data consumed by the users through their Starlink User Terminals, the plans of the Starlink Service Line, current billing usage, Starlink User Terminal information, and more. Users can view the amount of data consumed through their Starlink User Terminals between arbitrary time intervals. The data usage information obtained from the Starlink screen can be used for further analysis and to make informed business decisions.

The users that use an Edge device in tandem with their Starlink device can see data from their User Terminals in the Dashboard screen automatically.

The users that do not have an Edge device will have to subscribe to the Starlink Subscription model to view data from their User Terminals. Please refer section Starlink Subscription in the Starlink - Admin page for more details on enabling subscription on the Service Lines.

Any changes made to account or configuration information on Starlink may take up to 30 minutes to reflect in the Kognitive Cloud Portal.
