SNMP Control/Monitoring
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a request-response protocol where the client and
agent communicate using binary packets. For Nautel transmitters, SNMP is used to communicate
transmitter control commands (e.g., RF on/off, active preset, power adjustments, etc.) as well as
monitor data such as alarm states and meter values. Although there are multiple versions of the
protocol in widespread use, Nautel only supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, and traps are only supported
for SNMPv1.
Nautel provides the central software component, the SNMP agent, which is a program that runs on the
transmitter. The SNMP agent interacts with SNMP client software applications, which range from simple
MIB browser applications like the free one provided by iReasoning© to customized solutions such as
those provided by Burk©. Nautel does not provide SNMP client software.
Access to SNMP control/monitoring is through the USB connector (A1J8B) on the rear panel of the
transmitter. When you log into the remote AUI, you can access the User Settings -> SNMP
Configuration
page to set the SNMP Agent Port number, Read Community and Write Community
passwords and SNMP Trap information.
If you are planning to use SNMP, contact Nautel to obtain MIB files for your client software.
MIB files are available through Nautel’s FTP site: ftp://www3.nautel.com/SNMP_MIBs/
