--- The transmit parameters
--- The meter readings. --- The redundancy switching parameters.
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page.This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Advantech Wireless Genesis Series Amplifier. If more than one BUC is connected to the same Control panel the respective unit can be chosen from the device setup config.unit.
Note: Please be aware that in redundant setup all driver instances should communicate to the same common POC IP address. The HPA IPs are not reachable depending on switch position. The driver is designed to work for standalone units as well as in 1:1 redundancy. Other redundancy modes are not implemented and tested
It was tested with 1:1 redundant units type GenesisB1-250KuX
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type.
--- The transmit parameters --- The meter readings. --- The redundancy switching parameters. --- The faults page. --- The device info page. --- The maintenance 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 unit.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
| reference | Sets the reference sources of the BUC |
| maxAttn | Defines units max attenuation. Default setting is 30dB |
| lockLevel | Sets units lock level |
| unit | Defines the unit number (1..6) if more than one unit is controlled |
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. |
