About
This device is capable of sending SNMP traps. Those traps are sent in case of system failures and are also sent as a heartbeat. The connector interprets these traps in order to determine the status of the device.

Installation and configuration
Creation
SNMP Main Connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
- Device address: Not required.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.
Usage
General
On this page, you can find information about the received traps, i.e., the message and the last time the trap was received.
There is also a Configuration page button, which allows you to set:
- The input ports number to match the information sent in the trap from each input.
- Clears Alarm after, to set the time after which the alarm is cleared.
- Keepalive Time, which works as a heartbeat from the device. If no trap is sent within the configured timespan, an alarm is raised.
- The time intervals for the encoder alarms to be cleared.
The Alarms page button displays the state of the input streams and RDS data, the service start/stop and the output queue.
Traps Log
On this page, the received traps are logged in a table. You can change how many traps are displayed via the Settings page button.
