Installation and configuration

Creation

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, e.g., 10.10.10.10.
  • Device address: Not required.

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, such as the Description of the device, the Standard of the used Serial Ports and the used Standard Reference. It also displays status information, such as the Status of the Power Supplies, Temperature and Video Input Standard.

On the right-hand side, information is displayed about the inputs and the output, along with the Reclocker status of the possible connection points. The Output Table section can be used to enable or disable the possible output connections. The Reclocker table can be used to activate or deactivate the Reclocker for a specific connection point.

Matrix

On this page, you can connect the input stream with a specific output channel. An output can only be configured with one input channel, but an input can have more output channels if wanted. An input can be empty (not connected to an output), but an output has to be connected to one or more inputs.

The size of this matrix is linked to the number of connection points mentioned in the input and output (General page). For example, if the input and the output table only have 16 input channels, a matrix of 16x16 will be displayed instead of the default 32x32 matrix.
