Configuring SNMP in the Codec
The codec supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP ) for managing devices on IP
networks. There are two elements to configuring SNMP in your codec:
1. Configure SNMP Device settings in your codec.
2. Configure SNMP Traps via the Alarms Panel in the Web-GUI (see Configuring Alarms, or to
configure settings and traps using the codec front panel see Configuring SNMP Settings).
Description of SNMP Settings in the Codec
Operation Button Descriptions
A user-specified alphanumeric identifier which may be used by third-
party SNMP software to identify a device. The device name
corresponds to the ".iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-
2.system.sysName" SNMP attribute and is completely independent
of DNS, NIS, WINS or other device naming and identification
schemes, though convention is to use the device's fully-qualified
domain name.
A user-specified alphanumeric string which may be used by third-
party SNMP software to identify a device. Device location
corresponds to the ".iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-
2.system.sysLocation" SNMP attribute.
A text identifier for the contact person for this managed node,
together with information on how to contact this person.
SNMP provides two types of access, namely Read-Only access and
Read-Write access. The R/O Community identifier allows Read Only
level access.
The R/W Community identifier allows Read/Write level access.
SNMP provides the ability to send traps (notifications or alerts),
which are packets containing data relating to a system component.
The destination is the end-point to which notifications and alerts are
sent. See SNMP Trap Configuration.
