7.1. WHAT IS V
ISTA
LINK
®
?
Vista LINK
®
is Evertz’ 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 Vista LINK

Configuration Utility graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be
used to monitor and control Evertz
Vista LINK
®
enabled products.
2. Managed devices, each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the NMS through an SNMP
Agent. The XRF1/XRF1A communicates directly with the manager using its internal 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.
