SNMP
The Indigo 2AE front panel uses the Net-SNMP agent which uses one or more configuration
files to control its operation and the management information provided. The SNMP window
provides a list of these config files. An in-depth explanation can be found by following the link
from the SNMP window.
SNMP window
12.2 SNMP agent
The Indigo 2AE frame comes with a pre-installed SNMP agent that can either report the status
or generate traps on a status change of the PSU and frame systems. These SNMP traps can
then be used to trigger alarms – for example, say when a signal has been removed, video
standard changed or any of the many monitored status variables changed.
Note:
It will be necessary to import the frame MIB into the SNMP manager. See the manager
instructions if necessary to accomplish this.
Management information base (MIB)
As is normal for an SNMP manager system, each board to be monitored – in this case the front
panel – has an associated MIB. Each MIB is a collection of object identifiers that identify all
variables that can be read via SNMP.
The following diagram gives an overview of the OID sequences within the MIB tree.
