1.193 ETL-Genus-Frame

This page describes the ETL-Genus-Frame device driver and its device window. The ETL-Genus-Frame device driver monitors and controls the base frame/unit features and alarms of one ETL Genus chassis. The frame driver supports up to 16 modules and allows to set each modules alias name as well as reset the whole frame.

Beside this base unit multiple instances of the various functional elements may be configured in the sat-nms M&C to handle all features of the chassis. All devices referring to the same physical device must be configured at the same device thread / interface to ensure that SNMP requests to the device do not overlap. Single module units (e.g. 22512 16 Port Distribution Amplifier) are handled within one separate driver. These units do not require an additional Base Frame device instance.

The driver was tested with the following equipment:

The different available optional cards of the ETL Genus series are:

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

Configuration parameters

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.

parameter description
address The SNMP address specification for the device (details below).
readBackDelay Defines the delay the driver uses when it reads back parameters recently commanded. The delay is initialized at a proved preset value which should not be changed under normal circumstances.
noModules Defines the number of modules installed in the main frame (0-16).
deviceComment An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines.

SNMP address specification

The full address consists of the following fields: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

parameter description
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd The IP address of the device in 'dotted quad' notation. This field is mandatory.
pppp The IP port number where the device accepts SNMP requests. The port number may be omitted, the driver uses the standard port 161 in this case.
read-community The SNMP read community name. This must match the read community expected by the device.
write-community The SNMP write community name. This must match the write community expected by the device. The write community name may be omitted, the driver uses the read community name for both, read and write in this case. If both community names are missing, the driver uses public as a default for read and private as write community string.
