1.5 Monitoring and Control via SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and controlling a
wide variety of different units in a network. Detailed information about this topic can be
found under http://www.wikipedia.org/.
A description of the unit - the MIB (Management Information Base) - must be loaded in the
central unit ("manager") from which the transmitters are monitored.
A monitored unit contains a program ("agent") which can answer queries from the manager
and execute commands. Furthermore, the agent may of its own accord generate a mes-
sage and send it to the manager. In this way, the central unit can be informed of a fault.
1.5.1 Installation
The MIBs required for monitoring and controlling a transmitter are stored as a ZIP archive
in the transmitter control unit, from where they can be downloaded with the aid of any net-
work-capable instrument. All of the information required for configuration is contained in the
MIBs themselves.
During startup, both the agent in the exciter and the manager must be configured. Addition-
al steps may be necessary if the exciter is connected via routers, firewalls or similar devices
as they may block data packets.
