DSM3 Alarm Cloning & Distribution
SCTE-HMS Alarm settings can be distributed automatically to all DSM3 Communications
Modules on the network. Use the following procedure to configure and distribute the alarm
settings.
1. Select the desired SCTE-HMS alarm settings on a master DSM3.
The SCTE-HMS-PROPERTY MIB defines a method for setting thresholds for analog and discrete
values that can be used for setting traps or alerting a Network Management System when those
thresholds are compromised. There are two SCTE-HMS SNMP MIB Tables where these values
are configured:
propertyTable OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.5591.1.1.1
This table is used for setting thresholds for analog properties such as input & output voltages,
individual battery voltages, currents and temperature.
discretePropertyTable OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.5591.1.1.3
This table is used to set alarm parameters on discrete conditions such as tamper on/off, major/
minor alarms and various inverter status conditions.
Full explanations of these MIB tables and their settings can be found by reading the SCTE-HMS-
PROPERTY MIB. The MIB table alarm settings can be changed to desired values using a SNMP
MIB browser or status monitoring software. Once the tables are configured with the desired alarm
settings, proceed to Step 2 on exporting the “AlarmSettings.acf” file.
2. Export the “AlarmSetting.acf” file of the master DSM3’s alarm settings.
2.1. Connect to the Web page of the master DSM3.
2.2. Navigate to the
Advanced Configuration menu and select the HMS Alarms page.
2.3. Verify the alarm settings defined in Step 1 are displayed in the propertyTable
and discrete ProperyTable.
If further changes to the alarm settings are required, refer to Step 1.
2.4. Click on the
Export button at the bottom of the HMS Alarms page.
2.5. When prompted, refer to
Section 4.3.1, Web Interface Security Levels for the
applicable User Name and Security Password.
2.6. Download the “AlarmSettings.acf” file to the TFTP root directory.
If desired, the file may be renamed.
