650 and the SNMP Manager.
Changing
Mode:
to
Read Only
allows the AARON 650 to be inter-
rogated by the SNMP Manager so that stream metadata, alarms,
etc. can be integrated with other equipment on the network.
Setting the
Mode:
to
Read & Write
allows the SNMP Manager to
send commands to the AARON 650. At present the only com-
mand that the receiver can execute are to tune the current fre-
quency, change the antenna selection, or select a Preset Station.
SNMP Security
SNMP ‘Communities’ serve as passwords for this function. Go
into the
Read:
and
Write:
boxes to enter text that is specified for
the read/write strings on the SNMP Manager monitoring device.
As with similar text-entry screens, execute a
Save
after entering.
SNMP Traps
When the AARON 650
initiates
an alarm, rather than being
que-
ried
or
polled
for one, the alarm is known as a ‘trap.’ Navigate
to
Setup / Network / SNMP / Trap Destinations
. Here three local
network IP addresses may be entered, each corresponding to
other devices on the LAN that want to be apprised of alarms.
SNMP Ports
The default SNMP Ports,
General Port 161
and
Trap Port 162
, are
customary for a majority of SNMP operations. These may be
changed as required in the usual way.
NOTE:
The foregoing discussion of SNMP operation is purpose-
ly abbreviated. SNMP is a complex utility, managed exclusively
by whatever SNMP Manager (the monitoring equipment) is em-
ployed. Refer to all instructions for the SNMP Manager in set-
ting-up the AARON 650. From the active AARON 650 browser
screen, you can download the MIB file to help unravel mysteries
in this regard as well (see Page 46).
MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS

gate to:

software control of the AARON 650.
