User Guide - Hirschmann BAT (HiLCOS) Devices
with Paessler PRTG Network Monitor
Paessler AG's PRTG Network Monitor is a common tool to observe the status of many network
devices. This guide will help you to quickly connect Hirschmann BAT (HiLCOS) devices such as:
•
BAT-R, BAT-F
•
BAT450-F
•
BAT867-R, BAT867-F
Please be aware that monitoring devices excessively can take performance away from them as
well as cause additional traffic on the network. Especially in critical applications and when
monitoring devices over a WLAN connection instead of a switched infrastructure. This can cause
degradation of the application performance that would not be there without monitoring. We tuned
the default intervals for the example sensors for a typical system, but you should check and rework
these settings according to your application and requirements.
Ensure SNMPv3 is enabled
SNMPv3 is enabled by default, so it should already be enabled.
Remove the admin user from SNMPv3
1.
Remove the "admin" user: This user has permission to change settings over SNMPv3, which is
not necessary
