1.240 Evertz-7800-Frame

This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Evertz 7800FC Main Frame with controller via SNMP.

The installed cards are using separated device drivers and should be installed in the same thread in the vlc setup. The main frame driver gives an overview about the installed cards and the frames power supplies, fans and temperature status.

The driver was tested with the following SW Releases:

• Kernel: 5.1 2014-11-24
• SW: 1.3 Build 18 2015-01-20 (15-Card)
• SW: 1.3.Build 21 2015-08-13 (4-Card)

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 .

• --- Overview of installed cards Slot 2-15
• --- The faults page.
• --- The device info page.
• --- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.

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 controller.

• parameter --- description

• address --- The SNMP address specification for the device. The full address specification consists of the following fields:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:pppp read-community write-community

  • 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 write community.

• 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.

• numberOfSlots --- Defines if the unit is a 4 or 15 card controller frame
