This page describes the device driver and the device window for the Foxcom optical link chassis SatLight Platinum.

The driver is capable to monitor/control one chassis with up to 12 optical receiver or transmitter modules.

Device window pages

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

• --- The operational parameters

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. 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. | Fault flags

The driver provides a number of fault flags which reflect the actual state of the unit and its modules. Flags 01 to 12 show the fault state of the modules / slots 1 to 12. A fault is reported for a module which is installed and reads one of the states Minor, Major or Critical.

Faults 13 and 14 report the state of the two power supply modules. Again, Minor, Major or Critical are interpreted as fault, Normal as OK.
