This page describes the preliminary device driver and the device window for the Vertex SCR series downconverter via SNMP.
Please Note: The driver is not fully finished.
Tested with model:
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The operational parameters of the Downconverter,
--- The Measurement readings of the Downconverter
--- The redundancy switching parameters (not implemneted with this unit)
--- 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 Downconverter.
| 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. |
| powerDisplayMode | Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section |
| extRef | Sets the reference frequency setting |
| minFreq | Defines the minimum rx frequency of the converter |
| maxFreq | Defines the maximum rx frequency of the converter |
| minGain | Defines the minimum available gain of the converter |
| maxGain | Defines the maximum available gain of the converter |
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. |
