SNMP
SNMP traps, or notifications, are network packets which advise the system
administrator about significant events in the antenna, e.g. alarms and system error
messages. They are generated by the antenna and can be sent automatically to an
SNMP trap receiver/manager. The event time is UTC time. In this section there is a link
from which you can download the SNMP MIB file. To set up reporting SNMP traps to an
SNMP server, do as follows:
1. Select
Settings > IoT & Management
.
2. In the section
SNMP
select
SNMP enabled
(default: not ticked).
3. Enter the SNMP traps address.
4. Enter the SNMP traps Community name. This is the name of the SNMP trap
receiver/manager. This is needed for authentication of the SNMP trap request.

The SAILOR XTR GX-R2 supports SNMP v2 requests to retrieve configuration and
present settings. SNMP is always enabled on all Ethernet interfaces. The SNMP
community string is
public
. The SAILOR XTR GX-R2 offers via SNMP most of the data
that are available from the DASHBOARD web pages. Detailed documentation about
supported OIDs can be found in the MIB file. The MIB entries are grouped as shown
below:
• System configuration
• Navigation coordinates
• Antenna pointing
• Dashboard and profile
• Tracking receiver
To download the BDU MIB file directly, do as follows:
1. Click the link
SNMP MIB file download
and
save the file on your computer.
Telnet access
You can enable
Telnet access
to access the antenna via a command line interface.
SSH command line interface is enabled by default.
Note
None of the SNMP values need to be polled more often than once a minute.
Polling SNMP values more frequently will impact the performance of the
SAILOR XTR GX-R2.
