Audemat Aztec Golden Eagle DVB-T-H

This connector is used to monitor the GOLDENEAGLE DVB-T, a standalone DVB-T monitoring device used at the transmitter site or in the coverage area. The unit sequentially monitors a set list of channels and continuously verifies that the DVB-T network complies with requirements.

About

This connector uses an SNMP connection to monitor the Audemat GOLDENEAGLE DVB-T.

Polling happens at different intervals, as described in the "Usage" section below. Note that all mentioned time intervals are applicable with the Timer base equal to 1 (default), but this can be changed on the default DataMiner page "General Parameters".

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.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device. The default value is private.

Usage

Overview

On this page, you can find an overview of the data monitored by the device. The first level of the tree structure displays a list of monitored multiplexers, the next level displays the channels (services), and the last level displays the programs (PIDs) in the system.

If you select a multiplexer, extra tabs will immediately show all the programs from all channels. The Alarm Flags tab will display a list of error indicators.

General

On this page, general system parameters are displayed, such as Name, Version and Serial Number.

Page buttons allow you to view the "raw" data as retrieved from the device.

Note: In versions prior to 1.0.0.10, you can view or configure the normal values for the RF Level by clicking the Normalize RF Levels button, and copy the current values to the Nominal Levels Table by clicking the Normalize button, so that they can be used for comparison with new measurements. However, this feature has been removed in version 1.0.0.10 as there is normalization support in alarm templates.

Alarms

This page contains three tables:

  • Alarm Table: Active alarms and the timestamp of their occurrence.
  • Alarm Flag Table: Discreet alarm values for each multiplexer.
  • Alarm Flag Table (RAW SNMP DATA): The original SNMP data for the Alarm Flag Table. Since it makes no distinction between different alarm types, the information is transformed in the latter table.

Monitored Multiplexes

This page displays the Monitored Multiplexes Table, which shows the multiplexes and their measurements and configuration. For performance reasons, different timers are used for the polling:

  • The basic section of the SNMP table is polled every 5 seconds and contains:

  • Mpx Instance

    • Mpx Name
    • Mpx Source
    • Mpx Monitored
    • Mpx Receiver
    • Mpx DVB-H / DVB-T

  • The measurements are divided in two groups:

  • Mpx RF Level and Mpx MER are polled every 2 seconds.

    • Mpx BER, Mpx Per and Mpx C/N are polled every 5 seconds.

  • The other configuration data is polled every 24 hours.

  • Mpx Trap columns are updated when traps are received.

Monitored Services

This page displays the Monitored Reference Services Table, which is polled every 24 hours and contains basic service information.

Monitored Components

This page displays the Monitored Reference Components Table, which is polled every 24 hours and contains basic component information.
