The Simple Network Management Protocol enables you to monitor and/or configure network
attached devices like the ENC-100, made possible by the installed SNMP agents.
Every ENC-100 since Firmware Version 3.01 is delivered with an SNMP agent. All you need
are the MIB (Management Information Base) files. With these MIB files you can use all
advantages of SNMP associated with the ENC-100.
You can find the appropriate MIB files, TERACUE-ENC100-MIB.txt and
TERACUE-SNMP-MIB.txt on the Teracue website IPTV Support Area. Or contact
.
With these MIBs and an SNMP manager you have the possibility to monitor the ENC-100
status (by SNMP traps) or remotely configure every function of the ENC-100 similar to the
normal access via web browser. There are various SNMP management tools available to issue
SNMP based commands to the appliance (Software not supplied by Teracue).
.!. Set your SNMP manager to SNMPv2.
.!. Set your SNMP manager to SNMPv2.
.!. Set your SNMP manager to SNMPv2.
.!. Set your SNMP manager to SNMPv2.
Teracue uses the MIB Browser by iReasoning to monitor/set up the ENC-100. iReasoning
offers a free version of the MIB Browser under www.ireasoning.com, which is useful to read
the actual status or setting up the ENC-100. See below for further information.
SNMP uses the following standard ports: Port 161 and port 162
Port 161 is used by the SNMP manager and the agent to send the Requests and their
Responses.
Port 162 is used by the SNMP agent to send TRAPs to the SNMP manager.
Make sure that these ports are not blocked in your network.
The following operations are possible with SNMP
GET
Read out the management information
GETNEXT
Read out the management information iteratively, which is useful if you want
to read the information down the MIB tree step by step
GETBULK
Read out the management information of the complete list/tree
SET
Change/set the management information
TRAP
Start the Trap receiver in your SNMP manager to get alerts of the managed
system e.g. the encoder was started/stopped
