Installation and configuration

The connector has two interfaces. The SNMP interface is used for SNMP traps and to monitor the device, and the HTTP interface is used for communication with the device during failover.

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.

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.

HTTP Connection

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination, e.g., 10.11.12.13.

HTTP Settings:

  • Bus address: This field can be used to bypass the proxy. To do so, fill in the value bypassproxy.

Usage (1.0.0.x - 2.0.0.x)

The element should be part of a redundancy group that takes care of the failover.

Configurations

Each operation has a status parameter, showing Ok, Busy or Failed. Below this, the timestamp shows the last time an operation was attempted and resulted in Ok or Failed. The operations can be started with the following buttons:

  • Save Configuration: Request the device to store the current configuration.
  • Download Configuration File: Download the created configuration file.
  • Disable Multicast Ports: Disable active multicast ports and store which ones were active.
  • Re-enable UDP Ports: Enable the previously active multicast ports.
  • Upload Configuration File: Upload the local configuration file to the device.
  • Select Configuration File: Load the configuration file as the active configuration.
  • Restart All Channels: Restart all the channels to complete the configuration switch and set the device as active.

General

This page displays general information about the device.

Output UDP

On this page, the Output UDP Table shows information about each output and allows you to disable or enable each one. When one or more outputs are enabled, the UDP Ports status will change from Disabled to Enabled.

Alarms

On this page, the Status Current Alarm Table lists all the active alarms of the device.

Traps

On this page, you can edit the trap destination and settings in the Trap Receivers Table. The received traps can be viewed and cleared in the Trap Status Table.

SNMP Pages

The following pages contain tables concerning additional settings and information about the streams processed by the device:

  • Channels: Channel Names Table, Alarm Status Table and Operational Status Table.
  • Input Configuration: Input Mpts Status Table, Input UDP Table, Input Source Table and Input Internal Source Table.
  • Audio: Audio Table.
