Info

For customers and integrators intending to use the Integration Simulator, the documents assume a reasonable working knowledge of network communication. They are targeted at technical teams, typically with software development skills, who are integrating the output from Witness into external systems.

Note

If the AdvanceGuard® or Sea360® Integration Simulator software won't start then you will need to delete the Security Integration Simulator folder. It should be located here: %ProgramData%\Navtech\Security Integration Simulator.

If the ClearWay™ Integration Simulator software won't start then you will need to delete the Highways Integration Simulator folder. It should be located here: %ProgramData%\Navtech\Highways Integration Simulator.

The Integration Simulator should then start and create a new default config.

...

The simulation plugins are specific to the product, so ClearWay™, AdvanceGuard® and AdvanceGuard® Sea360® have their own. These plugins simulate the Witness functionality associated with these products, such as raising alarms or generating tracks.
