Evertz 7700 General Platform
Important
This connector is deprecated. Evertz 7x00 General Platform should be used instead.
The Evertz 7700 General Platform connector is used to monitor and control an Evertz chassis containing different Evertz 7700 series cards.
About
The chassis must include an Evertz 7700-FC card to be functional. Data about the location of other cards is polled from this card. Evertz 7700-FC is placed in slot 1, other cards are inserted in slots 2 to 15. A DVE will be created for each (supported) card. Data is polled via SNMP. Traps are supported to reduce the amount of polling. When a trap is received, the corresponding parameter is polled again to update its value.

Installation and Configuration
Creation
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, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
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
