SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 192.168.56.201.
- IP port: The IP port of the device, e.g., 161.
- Bus address: The bus address of the device.
SNMP Settings:
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: public).
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: private).
HTTP Connection - Secondary
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 80).
Initialization
To make sure the connector can connect to the API, go to the General > Configuration page and fill in the Username and Password.
Redundancy
There is no redundancy defined.
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
How to use
At the top of the Visual Overview page for this connector, information about the internal sensors is displayed. Below this, you can find information about the external sensors connected to the unit. Select a sensor to view detailed information.
Under Data, the following pages are available:
General: Contains general information about the device, such as the system name, location, contact, version, etc. Via a page button, you can change the units used for temperature values (°C/°F).
- Configuration: Contains settings to set the temperature units (Celsius or Fahrenheit), login credentials used for the HTTP API, and a login validation button to check if the credentials are valid.
Internal Sensors: Displays the current internal sensor values, including temperature, dew points, humidity, and analog data.
External sensors: Contains a tree view that displays external sensor values for each selected sensor. The page button at the bottom of the page displays the tables this tree view is based on.
Notes
This connector is intended to be used with a custom Visio file.
After an API call is sent, a logout is done so that the connector does not hog the connection.
