VOO CMTS Collector
The VOO CMTS Collector is a combination of a smart-serial connector, SNMPv2 and serial connector.
About
This connector is used to collect data from the CMTS devices at VOO. This data is polled by using SNMP and IPDR commands and is sent to the relevant CPE Manager and MTA Collector. In other words, the connector is used as a control center to parse and distribute information from approximately 60 000 CPEs.

Installation and configuration
Creation
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and a smart-serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13
- 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 CADMIUM.
- Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.
SERIAL CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
- IP port: The port of the connected device. By default, this is 4737.
- Bus address: The Collector Name should be filled in here. By default, this is DMA-COL-01.
SSH CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.
- IP port: Default is 22.
Usage
General
This page contains general information related to the device. In addition, you can extract a Debug File with all the MAC Adresses and Channels for each CPE. The IPDR Templates and Sessions are also displayed and can be requested.
Another important parameter on this page is IPDR Data Timeout. This parameter defines after how much time the connection is considered to be lost. The value of Seconds Since Last Data is compared with this value.
Logging
This page contains the Logging Table, which consists of all IPDR Administrator Error/Log Messages.
