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:

  • IP port: The IP port of the device.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.

Usage

General

This page contains SNMP device information such as the name and the physical location of the device.

Slots

This page lists the available slots with the corresponding information.

DVE Naming format enables users with security level 3 or greater to change the DVE naming syntax and to enable or disable the use of slot descriptions in DVE naming. Be careful when you use this functionality: changing DVE names can cause the loss of alarm and trend history.

Please note that the DVE Name and Description columns in the Slots table are also locked for users who do not have at least security level 3.
