Figure F-4 Table of Remotes
The example above used a Tree View or table get to poll all instances within the
table. Get Next will step/walk the table. This option is not like network discov-
ery where a manager will poll through a range of addresses for any MIBII
devices connected to a network populating map views. These are local database
entries that were either previously discovered or manually declared to the VMS
only. Other devices outside the VMS database will not be listed.
Alarm Status per Remote
Each of the structured devices forward SUM messages on interval containing
not only parameter settings and status values, but also alarm information. What
is presented through this call is an integer value representing a count of alarms
set within the device, unit, modulator, demodulator, etc. To further evaluate the
alarm information or type, the device’s MIB would be used to query alarm lists.
To query individual unit alarm status, set the community read string to the IP
address of the device. Select the alarmCount OID for the result.
