--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.This page describes the Newtec-MCX7000-Modulator device driver and it�s device window. The Newtec-MCX7000-Modulator device driver monitors and controls one Modulator configured in a Newtec MCX7000 Multi-carrier Satellite Gateway.
Multiple instances of the device may be configured in the sat-nms M&C to handle all Modulators of the gateway. 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.
The 'modulator' configuration parameter is used to select which of the installed modulators in the Gateway this particular sat-nms device shall control.
The driver was prepared and tested with DVB-S and DVB-S2 (X) modulation. Other modulation types and their specific parameter set are not prepared
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 .
--- The device RF and Modulator monitoring and control parameters. --- The device Carrier ID parameters. --- 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 device.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The SNMP address specification for the device (details below). |
| modulator | Selects the Modulator in the gateway to control. |
| spectrumSense | Defines the spectrum inversion sense of the Modulator. |
| ratePriority | Defines if the output rate should be set using symbol rate (SYMBOL) or data rate (INTERFACE). |
| onDeviceAlarm | Defines the transmit behaviour when an device alarm occurs. |
| onIfcAlarm | Defines the transmit behaviour when an interface alarm occurs. |
| transponderMode | Defines the modulator transponder mode setting. |
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 write community string. |
