Overview

The SNMP driver implements the client-side of the SNMP protocol. Thus it can be used to integrate SNMP data points from one or more SNMP capable devices. Our SNMP driver is compatible with SNMP v1, v2 and v3.

SNMP data points are addressed via their OID. To get the current value of an SNMP data point, polling is necessary. This means that the NETx Server is sending SNMP read requests cyclically. In addition to the polling of SNMP data points, our SNMP interface can receive SNMP traps. 

The driver is available for free. Each defined SNMP data point is decreasing the available license data points by one.

Installation

The SNMP driver is provided as an extension and is not included within the default setup.

To install the SNMP driver, open the Core Studio and shutdown the Core Server. Afterwards, start the Extension Manager via the menu Extensions > Manager > Start Extension Manager ....

Within the dialog, select "SNMP" and press the Install button. After having installed the SNMP driver, close the BMS studio and reopen it. Within the menu of the Core Studio you will find a new menu SNMP. It contains entries for all definitions that are necessary for configuration the SNMP driver.

Interface is available for the following products: 

• NETx BMS Platform
• NETx Multi Protocol Server
