This page describes the device driver and the device window for the RFDesign optical link chassis QLink using SNMP.

The driver is capable to monitor/control up to 8 optical modules

It was tested with both optical transmitter and receiver modules running on SW version:

Device window pages

The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.

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 unit.

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.
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 write community string.
