SNMP 

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to monitor the unit for conditions 
or events which require administrative attention. Via SNMP, several status variables can be read 
and traps can be generated on events. 

The SNMP Agent is MIB-2 compliant and supports versions 1 and 2c of the SNMP protocol. 

Note: 

The unit includes SNMP support for its Image Quality monitor and Tamper Detect 

functions. A trap is sent when bad image quality or camera tampering is detected and another 
one when the situation returns to normal. 

Required MIB files can be downloaded at http://siqura.com. 

System information 

This section shows the network/device data specifically made available to the SNMP manager for 
making the device, its location and service manager(s) traceable.  

In the 

Contact 

box, type the name of the service manager. 

In the 

Node name 

box, type the host name of the unit. 

In the 

Location 

box, type the name of the physical location of the unit. 

Communities 

The community strings (names which can be regarded as passwords) in the Communities section 
must conform to those configured in the SNMP manager. Often, these are 'public', mainly used 
for the read and trap communities, and 'private' or 'netman', for read-write operations. The 
manager program may offer additional choices. 

Traps 

An alarm status change in the unit generates a trap which can be caught by any SNMP manager. 
The unit can, for example, send traps on the occurrence of Image Quality and Camera Tampering 
events. Variables, which can be read from the unit's MIB through an SNMP manager, indicate 
why the alarm occurred. The OPTC-VCA-MIB required for this can be downloaded, together with 
the other MIBs for the unit, at http://siqura.com.  

In the 

Version 

list, click the SNMP version used. 

 In the 

IP Address

 box, type the IP address associated with the manager program. 

 In the 

Port 

box, type the destination port number. 

Default: 162.
