Status Monitoring and Reporting
Status Monitoring and Reporting
This section provides a complete summary of frame and module status
monitoring and reporting in a Gecko or GeckoFlex system with an
8900NET module installed in the frame. It summarizes what status items
are reported and how to enable/disable reporting of each item.
There are a number of ways to monitor status of frame power supplies,
fans, modules in the frame, and other status items depending on the
method of monitoring being used including a voltage level on the external
Frame Alarm from the Module Health bus, module front edge LEDs, web
browser indicators, and SNMP reporting.
Status reporting methods include the following:
• External frame alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frame from the
Module Health Bus and other frame status alarm reporting,
• LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media
modules,
• Web browser status reporting for each frame component, and
• SNMP traps, captured by Grass Valley’s NetCentral or another SNMP
Manager Application.
Note SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been
installed and configured.
