is Evertz’s remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet 

network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).  SNMP is a standard computer network 
protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other.  

Vista

LINK

®

 provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm 

events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server.  Card configuration through 

Vista

LINK

®

 PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste 

routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately.  Finally, 

Vista

LINK

®

 enables the 

user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration 
has been carried out. 
 
There are 3 components of SNMP: 
 
1.  An SNMP manager, also known as a Network Management System (NMS), is a computer running 

special software that communicates with the devices in the network.  Evertz VL-Fiber demo Manager 
graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and 
control Evertz

®

 enabled fiber optic products. 

 
2.  Managed devices, (such as 7707BPX cards), each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the 

NMS through an SNMP Agent.  Evertz 

Vista

LINK

®

 enabled 7700 series modules reside in the 3RU 

7700FR-C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC 

Vista

LINK

®

 frame controller 

module, which serves as the Agent. 

 
3.  A virtual database, known as the Management information Base (MIB), lists all the variables being 

monitored which both the Manager and Agent understand.  Please contact Evertz for further 
information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS.
