Newtec USS0212

The Newtec USS0212 connector is an SNMP connector used to monitor and control the Newtec USS0212.

About

The connector uses SNMP to retrieve data from the redundancy switch. It is also possible to configure some of these parameters using this connector.

DCF has also been implemented and will create an internal connection between the active input and the output.

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.

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 contains general information on this unit along with the available Network Interfaces.

Configuration

This page contains the configuration parameters for the unit. These are mainly used to configure the switching triggers and actions for the redundancy switch.

Operations

This page displays information about the operation of the device.

Alarms

This page contains the Alarms table with the state of each of the possible alarms.

Web Interface

This page provides access to the web interface of the device. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.

DataMiner Connectivity Framework

DCF has been implemented since the initial version of this connector. Note that DataMiner version 8.5.4 is the minimum required version to support DCF.

Below, you can find an overview of the DCF implementation in the connector itself. Note that DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and through DataMiner third-party connectors (for instance a manager).

Interfaces

Fixed interfaces

Physical fixed interfaces:

  • RF Input Main (in): the main RF input
  • RF Input Backup (in): the backup RF input
  • RF Output (out): the RF output

Connections

Internal Connections

  • Between RF Input Main and RF Output, an internal connection is made when System State is Normal or Normal Degraded.
  • Between RF Input Backup and RF Output, an internal connection is made when System State is Redundant or Redundant Degraded.
