Alarms and SNMP This section describes the following: • Overview – Alarms • Overview – SNMP • SNMP T rap Destinations Overview – Alarms The VN-Matrix system is configured to generate alarms for err or conditions. A list of these error conditions and their meanings ar e presented on the following pages.
Alarms Page The Alarms screen enables a user to define and monitor system alarms. Figure 52. Alarms Page Filter Settings The Filter settings section allows the default settings for each alarm type to be modified. • Alarm T ype — Select the particular alarm that is to have its default setting changed.
Alarm T ype This drop-down menu lists the available alarm err or conditions for all units. Alarm error conditions are divided into two categories: • Alarm errors that occur on an encoder • A.
Alarm Logs A historical list of the last 200 alarm events is provided in the Alarm Logs page. The log provides data on when an alarm err or condition was raised and cleared. Each event is paired in the log so a raise and clear event is listed together .
Alarm T ype Description - Encoder Alarm T ype Description Action Default Settings Encoder Alarm No source No source pr esent at the input. Check input connections; is there an output on the loop through connector? Critical, reporting Bad source syncs Source is pr esent, but unrecognized ue to bad sync mea- surement.
Alarm T ype Description - Decoder Alarm T ype Description Action Default settings Decoder Alarm No decoder video data Indicates that there is a valid connection, no video data present. Usually accompanied by “no source data str eam” message in the web interface.
Overview – SNMP The VN 200 device has the ability to report alarm events via an SNMP trap, pr oviding simple integration with network management systems (NMS). When communicating using SNMP , the VN 200 complies with the requir ements of SNMPv3. When generating SNMP traps, the VN 200 complies with the requir ements of SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
SNMP T rap Destinations The Filter Settings dialogue in the Alarm Logs page is used to add and remove destination IP addresses for NMS servers. The IP address of the NMS should be enter ed in the Create Trap Destination box. Multiple destinations may be added.
IP Addr essing What is an IP Addr ess? A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However , the following details will provide you with enough information to get started. An IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network.
Multicast Address Range A further range of addresses is available for multicast usage: 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255 These addresses (also known as Class D addr esses) are used to allow several devices to be part of the same multicast group.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask is another 32-bit binary number that is used to “mask” certain bits of the IP address. This pr ovides a method of extending the number of network options for a given IP address. It works by allowing part of the host identifier to be used as a “subnet identifier”.
If you get the message... Reply from 208.132.180.48: Destination host unreachable. …this indicates that the IP address of the computer is not in the same class (or subnet) as that of the device being “pinged”. Check that the subNet mask on both the computer and the device are set to the same value (see “ Subnet Mask ”).
Understanding Network Performance This section describes features of the network. Network Characteristics There ar e a number of characteristics of networks that have to be taken into account when transmitting image data.
The introduction of gigabit (1 Gb/s) Ethernet has allowed the introduction of “Jumbo” frames with more than 1500 data bytes. Clearly the overhead involved by limiting the number of bytes to 1500 is considerable, and using jumbo frames makes more ef ficient use of the network.
The OSI model is used as a refer ence, and while some systems follow the full model, others simplify it by combining the functions of certain layers. In particular the protocol stack (which is the basis of standard Ethernet communication) only has four layers, as indicated in the figure below .
Clearly the most significant differ ence is that UDP is “best effort” and TCP is “guaranteed delivery”. TCP is used in most networks for tasks such as exchanging file information between nodes, because absolute accuracy is requir ed and because the delivery requir ement is usually “point to point”.
