4.2 UPDATING AND USING VISTALINK PRO
The 7800TR-32X24 supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for remote monitoring
and control through an IP network. The tally router implements SNMP version 1 as outlined in RFC
1157 and RFC 1213. The protocol works by exchanging UDP messages between an SNMP client
(normally a computer running an SNMP client program) and a device such as the tally router.
There are three main types of SNMP messages. An SNMP Get Request is sent from a client to a
device and is used to read a value from the device. An SNMP Set Request is sent from a client to a
device and is used to change a value on the device. An SNMP Trap is sent from a device to a logging
client whenever a certain event takes place. Traps are usually sent in order to notify the client that an
error or other event has occurred on the device that requires attention.
Evertz offers VistaLINK® Pro, a powerful software suite for SNMP monitoring and control suitable for
management of both small and large systems. The VistaLINK® Pro client is a powerful SNMP client
that is offered as a free download from the Evertz website (www.evertz.com
). It can be used for
monitoring and configuring Evertz gear. The full version of VistaLINK® provides a server application for
centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming trap events and
dispatches alerts to all the VistaLINK® clients connected to the server. Advanced scripting,
customizable graphical user interfaces, and more can be created for advanced automation and control
purposes.
Device configuration through the VistaLINK® Pro client can be performed on an individual or multi-unit
basis. The configuration of devices can be managed using simple copy and paste functions, which
reduces the time required to configure each unit separately. VistaLINK® allows the user to configure all
devices on the network from a central station using simple visual controls and receive feedback that
the configuration has been successfully carried out.
