Imagine Communications Selenio MCP1
The Imagine Communications Selenio MCP1 is a controller card slotted into a Selenio chassis at position 0. This connector lists the important parameters from this controller and provides an overview of all the different slots in the chassis.
About
This connector displays information on different pages, described in the "Usage" section of this document.
The versioning for the connector is specifically engineered to tie in with the firmware version of the card the connector supports. It uses the following format: X.X.X.Y, with X.X.X being the firmware version of the card and .Y the specific connector iteration for this firmware. For example, 5.0.28.2 means the connector is the second iteration for firmware 5.0.28.

Product Info
| Range | Device Firmware Version |
|---|---|
| <10.0.0.x [SLC Main] | The versioning of the connector is specifically engineered to tie in with the firmware version of the card the connector supports. |

Configuration
Connections
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.
- Device address: This is always 0. As such, it cannot be modified during element creation.
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 public.
Timing
All data gets retrieved from the device in three ways.
Timers
- Slow Timer: Triggers every hour and retrieves non-essential and configurable parameters.
- Medium Timer: Triggers every 10 minutes and retrieves status parameters and the connections table.
- Alarm Slow Timer: Triggers every 30 seconds and retrieves alarm information (see note below).
- Fast Timer: Triggers every 10 seconds and retrieves slot information (state, temperature, protection, etc.).
- Very Fast Timer: Triggers every 3 seconds and retrieves dirty changes, alarm information (see note below), and CPU polling if enabled.
Dirty changes
- Every 3 seconds, a check is done for any changed configurable values. If such a change is detected, the new value is retrieved and instantly updated in the element. (If the change concerns a table cell, the complete table is refreshed.) After a change is detected, the check occurs faster and is performed every 0.5 seconds until no more changes are detected.
Traps
- When enabled and set up on the controller, traps can be sent to DataMiner whenever an alarm occurs. The traps are accepted and processed for the controller.
Note
You can toggle alarm information to be retrieved either every 30 seconds or every 3 seconds. The default value is every 3 seconds. It is recommended to only change this to 30 seconds when you enable traps to be sent to DataMiner.
Usage
General Page
This page contains version information and controller status parameters.
The Processor Usage page button can be used to monitor the total CPU % of the chassis. Polling for this is disabled by default but can be toggled on.
Alarming Page
This page lists all possible alarms for the controller. If an alarm is active, the Controller Alarm State will indicate what kind of alarm it is.
The page contains a toggle button that allows you to change alarm polling speed to 3 or 30 seconds. It is recommended to set up traps and reduce the polling speed to 30s.
Slot Table Page
This page provides an overview of all slots in the chassis and the cards plugged in at those positions, if any.
It also provides access to the Failover and Failback configuration and allows you to configure the Slot Protection and Reboot possibilities. For the MCP1, only the first 3 slots can be used.
Connections Page
This page contains the Connections table, which provides a complete overview of all internal connections made in the chassis. The table displays interface data, slot data and services running.
With the Add Connection page button, you can add additional connections. You can clean invalid connections from the table by clicking the Remove Invalids button.
Cross Connections Page
This page displays the cross connections table relationship.
Module Association Page
This page displays the association relationship between interfaces and modules.
Module Function Page
This page displays the module functionality by module slot.
Module Interface Page
This page displays the interface information used by module.
Module Output Page
This page displays the input-output routing relationship.
Repository Page
This pages displays the content of the module repository slot use.
Slot Upgrade Page
This page displays information about the firmware versions. It also allows you to manage an upgrade test and to activate the upgrade process.
VLAN
This page displays the VLAN table information for the interfaces in the module.
Module Information
This page displays the module map information and allows you to manage the system module slot labels.
General Section
This section contains information concerning the internal Modules, Reference and TSG.
It also allows you to upload certain system-stored Presets.
Control Section
This section contains parameters to enable or disable certain communication protocols such as SNMP, FTP, HTTP, SSH, CCSP and Telnet. It also contains three pages for specialized SNMP, GPI or Ethernet settings.
Redundancy Section
This section contains the Router page, which contains all information concerning 15 different Levels in the router.
