Installation and configuration

Creation

SNMP Device 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, by default public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.

Usage

General Page

This page contains the main information and status of the splitter, such as its Name, Location, Temperature, and the Amplifier Status and Power Supply Status.

It also contains a Reboot button. Clicking it will trigger a confirmation message which, if accepted, will force the device to restart. This will cause the device to be temporarily unavailable.

Configuration Page

This page contains several configuration options related to the splitter, including IP Settings, Trap Settings, LNB Settings and Splitter Mode Settings.

It is important to note the following regarding the way the IP settings work:

  1. The IP configurations entered by the user will only be assumed by the machine once the DHCP option is off.

  2. Once the settings have been saved, the machine will reboot.

Webpage

This page displays the webpage of the device. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
