Enabling SNMP Support
Certain versions of the MFC-8300 Controller Cards provide support for remote monitoring and control
of your frame and openGear cards using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which is
compatible with many third-party monitoring and control tools. Refer to Table 1.1 for a list of cards
that support SNMP.
Note — The MFC-8320-S does not support SNMP.
Enabling SNMP Support for the MFC-8320-N
Before proceeding with this section, ensure that you have configured the network settings for your card
as outlined in the section “Network Configuration”.
Note — If SNMP is enabled on an MFC-8320-N, it will perform as an MFC-8320-
NS although DashBoard and SNMP still displays MFC-8320-N.
Use the following procedure to enable SNMP support using the SNMP tab in DashBoard:
1. In DashBoard, display the Device tab of the MFC-8320-N by double-clicking its status
indicator in the Basic Tree View.
2. From the Device tab, select the Setup tab.
3. In the Licensable Features area, make a note of the information displayed in the SNMP
Request Code field.
4. Contact Sierra Video Technical Support.
• When you speak to the Technical Support representative, tell them your name, your
facility name, and the SNMP Request Code displayed in the Setup tab.
• You will be given a License Key that must be entered in the SNMP Feature Key
field of the Setup tab.
5. Enter the License Key in the SNMP Feature Key field.
6. When the installation is complete, verify that the Setup tab displays “Licensed” in the
SNMP Feature field and that the SNMP tab is now available in the Device View.
This completes the procedure for enabling SNMP support using the SNMP tab in DashBoard.
