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.
1
In the
Contact
box, type the name of the service manager.
2
In the
Node name
box, type the host name of the unit.
3
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.
