3.4.12 Menu: Network / SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol)
The Simple Network Management Protocol enables you to monitor and/or configure network attached
devices like the ENC-
300™, made possible by the installed SNMP agents.
Every ENC-
300™ since Firmware Version 2.07_w39 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-
300™.
You can find the appropriate MIB files, ‘TERACUE-ENC300-MIB.txt’ and ‘TERACUE-SNMP-MIB.txt’ on
the Teracue website IPTV Support Area. Or contact
With these MIBs and a SNMP manager, you have the possibility, to monitor the ENC-
300™ status (by
SNMP traps) or remotely configure every function of the ENC-
300™ similar to the normal access via
your 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.
Teracue uses the MIB Browser by iReasoning to monitor/set up the ENC-
300™. iReasoning offers a
free version of the MIB Browser under
, which is useful to read the actual status or
setting up the ENC-
300™. See further information about the MIB Browser of iReasoning in chapter
3.4.13 on page 40.
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, this is useful when 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.
To use the ENC-
300™ SNMP features, you have to set up the encoder, to establish access with your
SNMP manager.
