Protocols used to Monitor and Control the Device
There are two protocols that can be used to manage Newtec devices.
•
Remote Monitor and Control Protocol (RMCP);
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
5.5.1
Remote Monitor and Control Protocol (RMCP)
This is possible via the serial interface (RS232/485) or over Ethernet. The
commands are described in the Reference Manual of the device.
The
RMCP general manual v1.6
explains how Newtec devices
can be remotely monitored and controlled via the serial port or via
Ethernet.
This manual is delivered on CD-ROM together with the device.
5.5.1.1
RMCP over Ethernet
RMCP commands are send towards the modulator via the Ethernet interface. The
commands are sent as data in a TCP/IP stream. The used socket number is 5933.
When RMCP commands are send over Ethernet, the receiving device ignores the
RMCP address of the device present in an RMCP command.
The Ethernet interface needs to be configured.
Navigate to the following menu to configure the Ethernet settings:
•
AZ110 >> Unit >> Setup >> Ethernet settings
