Status Monitoring and Reporting
Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the 8900NET
module configuration DIP switches (see
). Some module status reporting items can also be
enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.
SNMP Monitoring
The Thomson Grass Valley Modular Control and Monitoring System uses
the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) internet standard for
reporting status information to remote monitoring stations. The SNMP
reporting from the 8900NET module provides status reports (traps) for
various frame and module faults and warnings as described in
Status reports (traps) are unsolicited reports sent from the SMMP Agent to
one or more SNMP Managers such as Thomson Grass Valley’s NetCentral.
Once an SNMP agent has been installed, the 8900 frame and each module
slot can be configured to enable or disable these reports through the Frame
SNMP Reporting web page (see
SNMP Reporting Web Page on page 39
).
Note
Two of the DIP switches described in
must be enabled for corre-
sponding SNMP reporting of the system components
(S1 segment 5 and
S2 segment 1)
.
SNMP Trap severity can be one of three degrees:
•
Warning – a limitation in the module’s intended performance,
•
Alarm – a failure in communication with the module, or
•
Informational – a configuration change such as a switch setting.
The enabled SNMP traps will be reported to any SNMP manager that is
identified as an SNMP Report Destination in 8900NET configuration (see
8900NET Module Configuration Web Page on page 44
. Trap severity is
read-only hard-coded information that is interpreted and responded to by
the SNMP Manager software configuration.
The SNMP traps available on the Gecko 8900 frame and modules are out-
lined in
. The SNMP trap reports available and their
severity are configured on the 8900 Frame SNMP Reporting web page for
all media modules, the 8900NET module, Power Supply 1 and 2, the Frame
Bus Status, and Module Health status (8900TFN Video frame only).
