Evertz 7880TSM

The Evertz 7880TSM connector is used to monitor and control different kinds of Evertz 7880TSM cards.

About

This connector supports different types of cards. Depending on the Card Type, the number of inputs changes :

  • 7880TSM-IP: 1 input
  • other types: 2 inputs

If the card contains only one input, the parameters related to the second input will still be displayed, but the values won't be polled.

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.

This page displays parameters about the first input of the device (Bitrate, Mode,.)

Input1 PID

This page contains a table with all the PIDs contained in the input 1 stream. For each PID, diverse data is shown (PID Type, Name,.).

The PID Template button displays a page that allows the user to create a PID Template that will be compared to the actual PID list. If the comparison mismatches, the Input 1 Template Status parameter will go into alarm state.

Input1 Alarms

This page displays a list of alarms. Each parameter is associated with a trap. When a trap is received, the corresponding parameter will be polled again to update its value. You can enable or disable each by clicking on the Traps page buttons.

Input2

This page is similar to the Input1 page. If the Card Type is 7880TSM-IP, these parameters won't be polled.

Input2 PID
