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, by default public.
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.
Usage
General
This page displays general information on the device, such as the Summary Alarm, Temperature, Fan Status, etc.
Alarms
This page displays the state of the device, including the PSU Sensor, Real Time Clock, Over Voltage (5V), etc.
Service
This page contains service-related information, such as the Network Name, Service Provider, Syntax, etc.
Video
This page contains video-related information, such as the Video Input, Video Frame Rate, Video Bandwidth, etc.
Audio
This page contains tables with audio-related information, such as Audio Termination, Audio Coding standard, etc. The current and next settings can be configured.
Data
This page displays information related to the serial ports (RS232 an RS422), for example RS232 Baud Rate, RS232 Component Tag, RS422 Delay, etc.
IP Streamer
This page and its subpages contain parameters that are only available if an IP board is present in the device (Dual-IPNIC), for example Output Bit Rate, IP protocol, TTL, etc.
MUX
This page contains MUX-related information, such as the Mux Packet Length, Mux Bit Rate, Mux Clock, etc.
Output Selection
This page contains modulator-related information, for example Hardware Release, Modulator Next time Date, Modulator Output Type, etc.
Encryption
This page contains encryption information, such as the Mux CA Type, Mux Scrambling, Mux Scramble Code, BISS Session Word, etc.
Configuration
On this page, you can store and load configuration information.
Web Interface
This page displays the web interface 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.
DataMiner Connectivity Framework
The 1.0.2.x connector range of the Ericsson EN8040 connector supports the usage of DCF.
DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and through DataMiner third-party connectors (for instance a manager).
Interfaces
Fixed interfaces
Physical fixed interfaces:
- SDI Input: in
- HD-SDI Input: in
- Composite Input: in
- L-Band Input: in
- ASI Input 1: in
- ASI Input 2: in
- IP Input: in
- ASI Output 1: out
- ASI Output 2: out
- ASI Output 3: out
- L-Band Output: out
Parameter 10601 defines the video input source. Parameter 10131 defines the output mode.
The L-Band Input is always connected to the selected output.
Notes
After a value is set in the Modulator Table, the connector waits for 2 seconds before it polls the table again. This ensures that the Ericsson EN8040 returns the correct value and not the old one.
