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.

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

simple copy and paste routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally,

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

enabled fiber optic products.
2. Managed devices (such as 7825DSK2-LG(-HD)(-3G)), each with a unique address (OID),
communicate with the NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz

enabled 7800 series
modules reside in the 3RU 7800FR MultiFrame and communicate with the manager, 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.
