Thomson Video Networks MD6000
The Thomson Video Networks MD6000 connector has been designed to monitor and manage a single Distribution Receiver Decoder MD6000 device. This device is used for terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV headends to receive and decode feeds for local re-encoding, analog delivery, or confidence monitoring.
With this connector, the device can be managed directly. The connector uses SNMP to establish communication with the device. The timers for data retrieval can be customized on the Polling Control page, with a possible range of 60 seconds to 7 days in steps of 60 seconds. A value of 0 will stop the timer.
