Product Info
| Range | Device Firmware Version |
|---|---|
| <10.0.0.x | [obsolete] The versioning of 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. |
| 10.0.0.x | Requires controller firmware "S/W=7.0-38, H/W= rev 02" or higher and will not work with older firmware. |

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.
- Device address: Slot number where the card is plugged in. Range 1-14.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
- Get community string: The community string needed to read from the device. The default value is public.
- Set community string: The community string needed to set to the device. The default value is public.
Timing
All data gets retrieved from the device in two ways:
Timers
- Slow timer that triggers every hour and retrieves non-essential and configurable parameters.
- Medium timer that triggers every 15 minutes and retrieves status parameters.
- Fast timer that triggers every 3 seconds and retrieves slot information (state, temperature, protection).
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 is the cell of a table, the complete table is refreshed. After a change is detected, the check is boosted and performed every 0.5 seconds, until no more changes are detected.
Usage
The connector contains different pages divided into several sections using separators.
General section
This section contains the following pages:
- General: Contains information such as the slot number, state, temperature, protection status and chassis IP. In version 2.5.1.x, this page also contains the DVE Creation toggle button, which can be used to enable or disable the creation of the DVE synchronizers, as well as the DVE Administration Table, where the Name and View of the DVE can be modified.
- Alarming: Contains a table with all the possible alarms that the card can generate and its current state (Active priority 0->10 or Inactive).
Video section
This section contains the following pages:
- Video Input: General video parameters, including Status, EDH-CRC-SQM 1, EDH-CRC-SQM 2, Input Routing, Auto Routing and VEX EDH-CRC.
