SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP Address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.145.1.12.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string required to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string required to set to the device. The default value is public.

Usage

Card

This page displays the system's general information parameters.

  • Card Type
  • Card SW Version
  • Card Serial Number
  • Card Description
  • Card Alarm Status
  • Card Destination OID

The two page buttons at the top open the Card Configuration page and History page:

  • The Card Configuration page displays the Card Configuration Action and Configuration Error. The Configuration Action consists of the buttons Apply and Reset.

  • The History page shows the iVNP History Log Table, which has four columns:

  • Timestamp Event

    • Description Event
    • Duration Event
    • Status Event

Status

This page displays the Switch Status table, with the following parameters:

  • Alt Input Selected
  • Output Loss Seconds Count

Below this, the Latency Monitor table is displayed, which has the following columns:

  • Signal Present Alternate Input
  • Signal Present IP Stream
  • Absolute Latency
  • Differential Latency

Management

The page displays the Management Version and Management Statistics parameters. These are the Main, CLI, CGI and SNMP Module Version and the Fan Speed 1 and 2, the Temperature and the Alarm Status.

Below that, you can find the Power Supply Unit Table, which displays the status of the different management PSUs.

This page contains the same page buttons as the Card page, which open the Card Configuration page and History page.

Transport Status

This page contains five parameters related to the transport: Network Loss Seconds Count, Good and Bad Mac Frame Count, Network Interface Physical Address and Network Interface Status.

In addition, the page also displays Transport Interface parameters: the IP Address, NetMask and Gateway. You can set these three parameters on the Transport Interface Configuration subpage, via the Configuration page button at the top of the page.

This page displays two tables with information about the encoder.

The Encoder Status table displays the following information:

  • Input Sync Lock
  • Input Bit Rate
  • Input Alarm Status
  • Input Loss Seconds Count
  • Input Errored Seconds Count
  • Input SES Seconds Count

The Encoder Configuration table shows the Input Status, TX Destination IP Address and Input Bit-Rate Ceiling. You can set the values in this table in the Pending Configuration table, via the Configuration page button at the top of the page.

Decoder

This page displays two tables with information about the decoder.

The Decoder Status table displays the following information:

  • Output Sync Lock
  • Output Bit Rate
  • Output Source IP Address
  • Output Alarm Status
  • Output Loss Seconds Count
  • Output Errored Seconds Cout
  • Output SES Seconds Count
  • Output Post-FEC Los Packet Count

The Decoder Configuration table shows the Stream Decode Status, RX Destination IP Address and TX Source IP Address. You can set the values in this table in the Pending Configuration table, via the Configuration page button at the top of the page.

Traps

This page displays the traps received from the device and displays them in the Trap Overview table. The row count of this table is also displayed. Via the Configuration page button, you can set the method of trap cleaning, the maximum count and maximum trap age.

Web Interface

On this page, you can view the web interface of the device. However, the client machine has to be able to access the device. Otherwise, it will not be possible to open the web interface.

Notes

The configuration done by the user in the Pending Configuration table is only updated in the Configuration table after the Apply button is clicked on the Card Configuration pop-up page. Therefore, after you make changes in the Pending Configuration table, do not forget to use this button.
