4.15. SNMP Manager Control


The IPC-16-R allows for management via SNMP. The private MIB is available from the Dataprobe Web Site at:

http://dataprobe.com/support_rss-series.html


MIB Outline and MIB Definitions can be found in Section 7

4.16. Escape Sequence Control


The IPC-16-R can be controlled via command line messages sent either over the serial port or using TCP
messaging over the Ethernet port. This allows streamlined communication between the IPC-16-R and network
management systems or computer based monitor and control systems. Programming support is available.

4.16.1.

Making Connection via Ethernet and Serial


The IPC-16-R uses the TCP (Transport Communication Protocol) to communicate with the client PC. To use
the IPC-16-R , establish a TCP connection (Stream Socket) to the IPC-16-R. Be sure to use the Port assigned
to the IPC-16-R , either Port 9100 or the port assigned through the Setup Menus. Once connected use the
Send() function to send the commands to the IPC-16-R and the Recv() function to receive the IPC-16-

R ’s

response.

For the serial port of the IPC-16-R, connection via the serial port requires only setting the computer to the proper
baud rate and character format.
