  • Device address: Not needed.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.

DataMiner Connectivity Framework

The 1.1.1.x connector range of the Tandberg E5710 connector supports the usage of DCF.

DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and through DataMiner third-party connectors (for instance a manager).

Interfaces

Dynamic Interfaces

Virtual dynamic interfaces:

  • In/Out: Every row added to Remote DCF Interface Table will automatically add an in/out interface.

Physical dynamic interfaces:

  • Inputs: Every input from the Port Table will create an input.
  • Outputs: Every output from the Port Table will create an output.
