The main status monitoring methods include the following:
• External frame alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frame with
reporting from the Module Health Bus and other frame status alarm
reports,
• LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media
modules,
• Web browser status reporting for each frame component, and
• SNMP traps, captured by Thomson 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.
