Figure II-1: Rear view of an OTR 1001 showing the essential connections
needed for remote control of the OTR using SNMP.
The PC used to control the OTR also needs to be running both the Windows SNMP service and
an SNMP Manager such as LabVIEW. In addition, the SNMP Manager needs to be suitably
programmed both to issue the appropriate Get/Set commands to run the required tests and to
issue appropriate responses to any SNMP traps that are generated.
Note: SNMP Service Configuration Issues
The SNMP service on the OTR 1001 is provided by the Windows operating system that
underlies the OTR 1001 application. In the absence of information about the environment in
which the OTR is being used, Windows will only send SNMP traps to the host machine – i.e.
only to itself. Windows will also only allow the local machine to act as the SNMP manager in
that it will only accept Get/Set commands from itself.
Control Panel Mouse & Keyboard
To send traps to other machines and to allow other machines to send Get/Set commands to the
OTR 1001, you will need to access the SNMP Configuration window as follows:
Push and hold the PROPS button to display
the System Properties control. Select the System page of Properties
control.
From here, trap destination and permitted manager addresses can be added, edited and deleted.
